In 1997, Social Psychology Researcher Arthur Aron conducted a study on human connection.
Almost 20 years later it became popularized as The 36 Questions That Lead To Love.
So here in Milwaukee, we chose 8 strangers from two of our longest streets to answer these questions — on camera.
It’s time to meet your neighbor, and maybe even love them too.
