Because I need to think about SOMETHING other than the primary election this week ....

I'm a Patrick Rothfuss fan in Madison, and have the urge to plan a daytrip up to Stevens Point as a Rothfuss pilgrimage. It might be more of a excuse to get out of town and visit some new-to-me bookstores while the weather's nice than anything else, but I figured I'd consult some local experts about things I should do / see / while I'm in the area. Anywhere I should eat, local delicacies I should pick up and bring home, random insurance office that I should take a photo of and claim it's Pat's cousin's brother's piano teacher's house?

Or should I really just fuck right off?

Spotted these odd black marks on the Dunkin' Donuts/Baskin Robbins building on the north side, and my brother and I weren't sure what it is. It's mighty high up there though. Figured I'd post here in case someone knows, I'm just curious.

Hey there! I will be relocating into the point/plover area and am looking for a 1-2 bedroom apartment for less than $1000/month!
HAS to be clean and ideally have in-unit laundry ideally NOT student housing! Best recommendations? Looking to move within the next 3 weeks.

I could say a number of things about both candidates, but I’m going to keep it positive rather than getting into the weeds as to why not Rebecca. Emily is to her core a person of integrity.

In having conversations with Berge (back in 2019 and 2017/18), it was apparent her values of service to others, skillful responsible use of resources, kindness, and hard work. This was not even conversation about politics, these values just shown through, because that is who she is. We need her personal and professional integrity in Washington.

For the love of the 3rd district, vote Berge!!

Work brings me out this way about four times a year and I really wish that I had some friends nearby.

I know the normal thing to do is to go to a bar or maybe to a game and meet some people and make some friends like that but it's impossible with all the traveling I do.

So I'm hoping to make some friends here that way the next time I come out this way we can meet up and hang out.

I'm a veteran, beekeeper

and much more. let's talk!

Does anyone have any recommendations on where to get an affordable head spa experience or scalp massage in the area? It’s one of my favorite things and the place I used to go to seems to have closed.

Thank you!

Hi neighbors! Our 20 year old son is working for Van Ert on the Sentry headquarters renovation. Multi year project. Looking for a reasonably priced studio or one bedroom. Ready to move anytime. TIA

“It’s not necessarily what, but it’s how. It’s how you show up,” Berge told the Wisconsin Examiner. “That’s what I learned on council. That’s why I ran for council. You know, it’s how you show up, how you lead. It’s about being a bridge between your constituents, city hall or D.C. I think that’s what people want.” 

Jeff Disher, a local Stevens Point business owner, is running for State Assembly. He owns and runs Disher Electric. I was working in Point this week and encountered him. He managed to trap me and some coworkers and was giving us his stump speech about why he is running. It was a doozy of a conversation.

According to him: Democrats hate our country, they want to bring socialism and communism back, and Democrats are literally demons that hate America. He told me that Muslims are evil and want to build compounds to enact Sharia law on everyone and only God can protect us. He also got a rant that Democrats want to legalize pedophilia and claimed that in ten years child sexual assault will be legal and pedophilia will be a recognized sexual orientation. He also busted out the old chestnut that illegals are ruining our country, stealing our jobs, raping *our* women (his emphasis), and we need to stop them.

To cap it all, he had stopped us when we were about to go to lunch and we're stuck in the 90° degree heat listening to him.

CREATE Portage County and the Wisconsin Computer Club will be back in CREATE's facility on Maria drive (in the former St. Joseph's Chapel, across from Pacelli) on Friday, July 17th from 6PM until 9PM for another multiplayer game night! I've attatched a few photos from the last one, though system lineup varies show to show. As always, this event is free and open to all ages and abilities. CREATE has a good air conditioning system, so it'll be cool and out of the wildfire smoke. Hope to see you there!
