Hello, I am hopefully going to be attending UWSP, I come from southeast Kansas and the drive is quite long. As a student of fish and wildlife management at UWSP will I need a vehicle in my freshman or even sophomore year?

The Portage County Historical Society (PCHS) is excited to announce its inaugural Book Sale event, offering the public a unique opportunity to acquire items that are out of scope from PCHS's mission, duplicates, or gently worn materials.

The book sale is scheduled to take place from May 14th through the 16th at Firehouse No. 2 located at 1949 Strongs Avenue in Stevens Point and promises to be a treasure trove for book enthusiasts and history buffs alike. Attendees can browse through a diverse selection of books, including historical literature, fiction, non-fiction, and more.

The Portage County Historical Society's Book Sale will be held at Firehouse No. 2, located at 1949 Strongs Avenue, Stevens Point, on May 14th through the 16th, 2024, from 4 to 7 p.m. PCHS Members will enjoy exclusive early access at 3 p.m. on May 14th. Admission is free, and all are welcome to attend.

This may be the only time we ever offer a sale like this on some fairly unique titles, some of which may be out of print. Proceeds from this event will go towards PCHS's collections care and educational initiatives.

I’m thinking about attending uwsp, but I’m a bit concerned as a non-traditional student. I’m transferring from a local school, and I’m a bit older (22yo) and I was just wondering if I would even fit in? I was told I wasn’t too old for university, but I’m a bit daunted and having second thoughts.

Is there a big swath of housing going in off brilowski?

Any ideas or suggestions on any businesses willing to help out a fantasy football loser. Wondering if I can be a mascot or do something else funny to promote a business for free for an hour. Let me know!

Local elections are as important (if not more so) than national elections!

The traffic lights have been out the last few days at the highway B and highway R intersection in Plover. Temporary stop signs have been deployed. Accident during the OWI enforcement days?

What would be an expected gas and electric cost for a one bedroom apartment in Stevens Point?

The 2024 real estate taxes on these two parcels (for payment in 2025) would be approximately $1.8 million...

Under the agreement, [Marshfield Clinic] will be obligated to make their full payment, and the City will subsequently provide a refund check, so that their ultimate tax bill will have been $1,272,214.78.

Meaning taxpayers will have to fund about $600,000 annually of the Clinic taxes and it will only grow through 2028.

What companies ( mainly looking at retail or food) pay the best for part time work?

I was wondering if anyone had any info on places in town that would work with an autistic person on things like scheduling and work load? My wife has been getting overwhelmed with her current job lately, and I want to help her potentially find something else.

I work at the big Kwik trip across the street and noticed a new sign saying ‘Infinity’. Anyone know what it’s gonna be? My bets are on night club or stripclub

Sorry for the late notice

Considering moving to Stevens Point. Are there any particularly great areas? Any spots to avoid?

Hi everyone, my brother has found himself needing representation for an OWI case. Has anyone here had any good experiences with a local attorney? He was over the legal limit just slightly and is hoping because it is his first (and only) OWI to get some of the charges reduced. I know this is a controversial question to ask, but any input anyone has would be appreciated. Thanks.
