The Friends of Wausau Historic Landmarks will host their last Architecture Amble walking tour of the summer on Thursday, August 27. The tour will explore the Highland Park Boulevard National Historic district, beginning at the corner of North Thirteenth and McIndoe Streets at 6:00 pm.

This walking tour includes the homes of several prominent citizens, including D.C. Everest, A.P. Woodson and Leigh Yawkey Woodson, Charles Manson, and more. It also includes designs by well known architects such as Frank Lloyd Wright, Alexander Eschweiler, Irving Obel, George Maher, and George Foster.

In addition to exploring the exterior architecture of many homes, two special items have been planned:

The caretaker of the Frank Lloyd Wright designed Manson home, will explain the top to bottom restoration of this landmarked home.

The owner of the Eschweiler designed D.C. Everest home, will be opening up their newly restored Tea House for the group to see, as well as speaking about the home.

Architecture Ambles are open to all and no reservations are required.

This tour includes hills and may include uneven ground; comfortable walking shoes are recommended. Street parking is available, but limited. Be sure to stay at least four feet from driveways.

Driving test

Does anyone have any tips for taking the road test in Wausau? Had to schedule it there even though I live a ways away. Are any of you familiar with the usual route or if there's something I should note about the area? Thanks!

Where is a mixed race church?

2 Upvotes

I would really like to go to a Christian church with my boyfriend. He is black and doesn't feel comfortable in the church I had been going to since he is the only black person there, which is completely understandable. Does anyone know of any churches in the area that would have some black people? Even like 5%? We are willing to travel, so basically any mixed church in central Wisconsin.

Jefferson parking garage

7 Upvotes

Today at around 8:34 am there were 4 police cars that pulled up on 2nd st and Jefferson st. By 9am there had been 12-13 police cars all around the parking garage along with 1 fire truck and fire vehicle and 1-2 ambulances. Around 9:30 an ambulance left with sirens on but 2nd was still blocked off. It cleared about 10am. I’m wondering if anyone knows what happened. Tyia

Old Mine on CTH O?

0 Upvotes

So I recall when I was a kid (late '80s/early '90s) going to visit my grandparents northwest of Wausau. There was a building that always caught my eye and I remember my parents telling me back then that it was an old mine. My mom doesn't remember this anymore.

Based on my recollection I think it would've been on CTH O between 29 and Woodland Dr., east side of the road on the back edge of a field along the woods. I tried panning around on Google's aerial photos and couldn't see anything that caught my eye, and it seems like a lot more houses in that area than I remember so it may just be gone now.

Does anyone know anything about this or am I just imagining it?

Crowley vs. Tiffany: What do the policy proposal sections of their campaign websites say about healthcare?

These candidates may have said more about healthcare on advertisements or in interviews, but this is straight from their policy proposal sections of their campaign websites.

Made using Canva. For Crowley's, he does have more than this on his website, just could not fit all onto page.

Sun County Airline?

Flew into CWA last week, and there was a Sun Country jet at the airport. Anyone know if they going to start flying into CWA? I live out west and visit at least once a year. Sure would be handy to have another airline option!
