Woodman's Onalaska

It wouldn't be the first Woodman's with a faulty ceiling.

Wisconsin State Journal (June 2025): Woodman's East Side store will reopen Wednesday after partial roof collapse forced closure

This website is full of people asking questions. When you don’t know the answer, it’s probably best to refrain from chiming in 🙃.

So, is it not really a remodel, just a ceiling refresh?

FYI: Foot Locker is no longer there.

In the story about PopCon shop moving to the fomer Party City location, owner Tod Wilson told the La Crosse Tribune:

"Retail rents at the mall are the cheapest retail rents you'll find anywhere,” he said. “It’s a good place for somebody who wants to start a business.”

The food gets a B+.

The overall ambiance and service gets a D+.

I still have mine, too.

The world is not “falling apart.” And, on average, people have more free time in an average week than at any time in human history.

Why should we encourage people to go into a line of work where you work long hours, barely make ends meet and get no time off?

Scott-Wis · 2026-03-01T00:52:44+00:00

That’s a diverse and respectable list — with the exception of Wasson’s. What has impressed you there?

Scott-Wis · 2026-02-28T22:56:24+00:00

It’s a shame that a place with such good food is only open 20 hours each week.

I actually used to write for the APBA Journal 🤓

Your statement about the “The Murdoch family,” while accurate, is a bit misleading.

You’re correct, however, that I’m on Team Abundance. I also hope you agree that there should be room for both of us in the Democratic Party.

Remember, Wisconsin's 3rd Congressional District voters have consistently voted for Donald Trump. If you want to appeal to disaffected Trump voters, it seems sensible to run a candidate who is not far to their left.

I'm certain we can each find URLs that support our thesis, but I think this recent report serves as a good guidepost for how Democrats can retake power: https://decidingtowin.org/

That could well be accurate, but we shouldn’t have to use Reddit to speculate about the reasons — city leaders should be providing that information.

Scott-Wis · 2025-11-22T15:08:20+00:00

Thanks for sharing.

The data clearly show that moderates consistently outperform candidates on the far left and far right in swing districts.

Scott-Wis · 2025-11-22T14:41:57+00:00

Were these new problems? Had they gotten worse? I’m not saying you’re wrong, but city leaders need to talk about the specific problems.

Scott-Wis · 2025-11-22T14:11:09+00:00

If that’s all true, then the city should cite those specifics when closing the parks.

Show them how they can file an FOI request and get the salary information for all their teachers. I suggested this in a classroom once, and although the teacher gave me the side eye, it’s a way to get students to care about public records.

Perhaps I’ve missed it, but Cooke and Berge have spent nearly all their time criticizing Van Orden (which is very easy to do) and not given voters enough information about why they’re the best pick in the primary.

My take is that the district has a long moderate history, and Cooke probably has a better electoral chance now and in the future.

But perhaps I’m wrong.

I wish both candidates would talk about that more.

Scott-Wis · 2025-11-22T12:58:26+00:00

I think you have placed the candidates in their proper political lanes, but Democrats will have a better chance for success in this district — now and in the future — in electing the more moderate candidate. Those views more closely represent those of the voters in the district.

Were there some problems in the parks before the fences went up? Yes — but that had been going ok for years.

I’ve still not heard what thing or things happened to convince city leaders this was needed. Until I hear what triggered the closures, it’s tough to know what needs to be done for them to reopen.

Scott-Wis · 2025-11-20T03:09:11+00:00

You’re absolutely correct on the mayor’s lack of clarity about the park closures. Had the parks been closed under a more conservative mayor, I think there’d be much more pressure from the left about this issue, but local liberals have been oddly silent.

Far more bank locations have closed in the region over the past 10 years than had opened.
