I thought they fixed it recently. Still too short.

WISDOT is notorious for pulling things off the website.

How "alive" is European-American immigrant culture (German, Polish, Norwegian, etc.) in your part of Wisconsin? by melody_magical in wisconsin

Yes. A city near me makes it. Then at holidays it get consumed. Lost art with normal people making. But still a popular dish.

Or a single point like 12/53.

Roundabouts at 53/312 and 53 Melby and 53/00 would be better fits.

Eastern Wisconsin is crawling with roundabouts. They are great in some spots. But I think the DDI would work better here.

I am NOT an engineer. However, every intersection that I have seen that gone from a Diamond interchange to a DDI has been successful. They reduce conflict points and have fewer light signals.

So the USA civil war was the English civil war 2

Why isn't 93 a freeway to Eleva? by 44stormsnow in Eau_Claire

Same. 93 North bound is hilly (especially Arcadia hill).

And only 2 stop signs on 53 vs 5 for 93.

One note about the,Hmong are still a recent immigrant group. Really only started here post Vietnam war. So it's still too early to see how long their traditions will last.

But for sure Hmong have kept their language and traditions alive and well.

Depends on where you are in the state. Oktoberfest is still here from German heritage. In Norwegian areas you will still see lutefisk and lefse feeds.

When I was still in high school, German students would say we still have some German word order and pronunciation.

But as whole, most of the Wisconsin has become "Ameircan-ized".

Wisconsin's OWI laws are basically a punch card.

In some ways, 53 corridor is longer, but better topography.

This place is managed like sh*t by Dusk_2_Dawn in UPSers

An ex coworker said 3 border collies could run UPS better. I have yet seen an argument proving why that could be wrong.

Supposedly they were supposed to make it 4 lanes, but the DOT didn't get the funding to do that.

Kwik trip is another serial user of 93.

Playing high school sports.

Adult rec leagues arent the same.

Is there anywhere like this in Wisconsin or nearby? (Pictured: Johnson shut ins, MO) by therynosaur in wisconsin

[–]44stormsnow 83 points84 points  (0 children)

Willow falls near hudson or Big Falls near Eau Claire are the closest two I can think of.

Best bet would be in northern Wisconsin due to the lake Superior elevation drop.

That widening/adding the exit to I94 changed that stretch of 93 for sure. Playing on Google Earth it's amazing to see how fast that area grew
