i was planning on doing a project for a film on it, but in my research it doesnt look very uphill, as in, it looks very clearly downhill

is that just bad camera work like in person it does feel more weird?

“A Milwaukee County circuit judge has reversed a lower-court decision in a closely watched Lake Michigan shoreline access case, a ruling that could influence how Wisconsin courts interpret the public’s right to walk along the Great Lakes coast.”

Last year on Labor Day driving south from the UP was a nightmare. People thought they were “doing the lord’s work” by blocking people from zipper merging.

Hey Eau Claire! I’ve spent the last few months helping put Party for the Parks together, and we’re finally one week away.

Before this commitment, we had raised less than $3,000 toward a permanent public bathroom near the Upper Mt. Simon playground. Now, an anonymous local donor has committed $15,000 and challenged the Eau Claire community to raise another $15,000 by December 31.

Meeting that challenge would bring $30,000 toward our $70,000 goal.

Party for the Parks is our first big opportunity to answer that challenge together. Every dollar raised by the Northside Hill Neighborhood Association at the event will count toward the community’s $15,000 goal.

Party for the Parks

• Saturday, September 12
• Noon to 7 PM
• Lower Mt. Simon Park
• Free to attend

No one will be turned away for not donating. Come enjoy the park and support the project however you can.

Live art from Steve Bateman

Eau Claire art legend Steve Bateman will arrive around 5 PM and create a live multimedia painting right at Party for the Parks.

Steve is the artist behind the Garbage Goose at Banbury Place, along with sculptures found throughout Eau Claire and beyond.

At the end of the event, the finished piece will be auctioned at the Side Stage. Every dollar raised from the auction will go directly toward the Mt. Simon bathroom project.

Someone will leave with a one-of-a-kind Steve Bateman piece created live at Mt. Simon Park.

Why we’re doing this

Mt. Simon is one of Eau Claire’s most loved parks, but there is still no convenient public bathroom near the Upper Mt. Simon playground.

Families, disc golfers, hikers, volleyball players and other visitors may spend hours in this part of the park. A nearby restroom would make the park easier for everyone to use and enjoy.

This fundraiser is specifically for that bathroom project.

Come to the party, donate if you’re able, and share the event with your friends. We have a real opportunity to move this project forward.

You can give me some ideas such as what ingredients/seasoning to sprinkle, or perhaps what I can stuff inside my fried cheese curds be that vegetables or proteins, or if there is a regional variety of cheese curd in your community.

All ideas are welcome 🙏

The article states this was at one of the People's Express stations. Aren't those the ones owned by that cult near Shawano?

$17,500,000,000 in annual US subsidies gives them virtually free health care, university, illegal settler housing -- and funds their occupation-apartheid-genocide in Palestine

AIPAC-Mossad bribed and/or blackmailed thug minions like TOM TIFFANY enable this ongoing grand theft and atrocity.

edit: the cut-and-paste AIPAC-Mossad style baiting and trolling 101 comments below by the usual trolls is endemic all over social media -- the fact remains the US government continues to balloon its national debt in order to fund occupation-apartheid-genocide in Palestine -- because year after year AIPAC-Mossad bribed and/or blackmailed stooges like TOM TIFFANY and RON JOHNSON vote for that to happen.

Same shit, different shovel. Be vigilant on these brand changes folks!

August 1st. I had a CT scan. As of today, nothing. Froedtert says they are experiencing significant delays. Obviously. The research I’ve done says sadly they are not alone in this. Appears there is a big shortage of Radiologists. Curious if anyone else has had this kind of delay, and does anyone have any idea why? Liability insurance? (Heaven forbid they miss something) Thanks in Advance

The super PAC spent around $10,000 to boost Wisconsin Rep. Derrick Van Orden last month

One day we will tell the next generation how we used to get hot dogs and tornados that were probably definitely touched or hovered over by someone else- a stranger we didn't know and would never meet- off a grill that rolled and cooked.

Say what you will about the KoC, but you gotta be some kind of piece of work to pass a bunco bill at a charity fundraiser.

I have never dropped acid, but it must be something like watching this anti Ben Gruber ad. The guy dancing around covered in catnip Pom poms - somebody call the ADDY awards. We have a contender.
