Well, I may have talked about how a Dollar Tree used to be in Whitewater in an older post, but NOW, here is some news…the chain is returning to the community soon enough! That is right, a second Dollar Tree (although not in the same location as the one that used to be in the plaza mall years ago) is being opened soon enough. Where the second Dollar Tree will be is by the Whitewater FortHealth Care Therapy building (the space by there had been an empty grassy field for many years). Anyway, you also remember that Dollar General I […]
Just When it Appears That All Hope is Lost…
Today is my Aunt Sue’s 65th birthday, so happy birthday to her, and congrats on making it six and a half decades! Anyway, you might not remember this, but over half a decade ago, I chatted about how resort hotel chain Kalahari had already opened locations in Wisconsin Dells, Sandusky, Ohio, as well as Ponoco Mountains, Pennsylvania, but its originally planned location in Fredericksburg, Virginia was still in question. Well, I have been looking this up a lot more recently, and I can tell you that status of Kalahari Resorts in Virginia now… Well, I am definitely sorry to say […]
Wanna Know an Eatery That Flies? Here is One…
Well, certainly I have chatted about restaurants in earlier posts, although have you ever dined at one located in an airport? If you have, then perhaps it was one of those larger city ones. However, did you also know that there can be smaller airports (you know, ones that are mainly used by smaller propeller-driven planes) can have such restaurants as well? That is right, and my father and I have eaten at one such smaller airport restaurant a few times. First of all, where is airport simply is? It is southwest of Janesville and north of Beloit in Wisconsin, […]
A Spot for the Community
FOR ROSALYNN CARTER. YOU WILL ALSO BE MISSED. Now, I am certain that you have heard of things such as fundraising drives for food, toys, clothing and other events related to those. Do you recall participating in a food drive at your school? A toy drive? Something like those elsewhere? Of course, that can occur year-round at places as well, such as Goodwill (mom and I have dropped off things there in the past). Suppose it is NOT any part of a chain though; rather, it is only a single center for the community in which it is in. Plus, […]
Shore Vision
We have ALL taken a vacation in our lives. Plus, suppose you have visited a beach a number of times in the past (I am certain you presumably have). However, fewer people might think of THESE details…
A Departing Off the Old Block
Well, this actually was posted 8 years ago, so you perhaps do not remember it, but in an old post of mine, I talk about how the Calvary Lutheran Church (a certain church in my town which my family used to go to) getting replaced with an apartment building named The Element. THIS one will consider a place that ended up having a very similar situation that actually occurred on the same street, but at a corner. Now, what actually got replaced with an apartment building HERE was a former funeral home. It was first built as an Italianate house […]
A Darkened Sky Park…Twice
Have you ever headed out for a stargazing trip? Whether it was a solo trip, or with your family or anyone else you know at all? Well, my father and I have done so, twice, not too long ago, even if the skies were not that great for it both times… Ellison Bay, Wisconsin is located further up past the city of Green Bay, near the tip of Wisconsin’s northeast pointing strip (if you are not aware of what I mean, I fairly simply suggest peaking at the state on a there map or it as a clipart image). In […]
Better Lake Than Never
First things first, I have just been into separate internet things once more as I had been when I typed up my 10th Anniversary, and I am just continuing fresh from here now. So yeah, I largely apologize for all of that as well, but, I truly will get going on a weekly post each Saturday through Wednesday now, so Hakuna Matata. Anyway, remember that “Lake or Marsh” post I typed up nearly two years ago? Well, unfortunately, the lakes now have only PARTIALLY returned to how they initially were. Just how that is so? Well, I would be indeed […]
A Whole New Home…For Water Storage
I apologize if I have not been filling my blog recently, it is just I have been into other things on the internet again. Although yeah, this post will consider a major change for the community which I reside in… Now, we have ALL seen the water tower in our own communities, and ones in other communities as well. The main, more modern one in MY community in Whitewater Is located just down across the road from my old babysitter Chu’s first house, and is light blue and has a of the Whitewater train depot on it. Though, there is […]
Depot Park Amphitheater
First of all, today is the 70th anniversary of the final Milwaukee Road passenger train stop in Whitewater. Coincidentally, this post will also consider a particular spot which has been constructed near there not the long ago… If you have ever come across an open-air venue that is used for performances, entertainment, or sports, then you have come across an amphitheater. You might have seen an amphitheater like the one shown below, at least in a photograph on the internet or in a book… Well, THOSE types of Amphitheater were constructed by ancient Romans. They are oval-shaped and have seating […]
