Never a 'dull' moment here!…read more Today I took refuge from the humid summer heat at the library, with hopes of finding a good read and maybe a nook at which to read. But I was pleasantly surprised when these hopes were not only fulfilled but were well surpassed. In addition to a few books to check out, I brought two dull, good-for-nothing pencils to the librarian at the counter and asked if they had a pencil sharpener I could use. Not only did the library have a sharpener, but the librarian did the sharpening deed for me! She kindly took my pencil offering and spent a few quick moments with the machine. Soon after, she presented me with two PERFECTLY sharpened pencils, ready to scrawl the finest-point script on the nearest slice of paper. It had honestly been months since I'd seen these pencils looking so fine. I feel like a new man. I wasn't charged for the books I checked out, nor for the express pencil-sharpening service I received! 5 stars, will come again. Highly recommended.

I think my past due fine should be taken care of because of givinh this review. Oh and awhile back I was in bathroom which is now real open to the general library no physical door to either men or women's testrooms. Anyway me and a much younger girls fishies up with washing out hands etc and in came a male janitor to empty the garbage. He nev re introduce self or said "cleaning" nothing. Very awkward and definitely needs to start announcing self befire going into and public restroom I want to say working as janitor or not, wth , right?!?

It was crowded cuz some of the local daycare providers took the kids they take care of their. Good activities (clay-doh), painting, coloring and about 5 min of storytelling and singing.

Welcome to Wisconsin as you cross over from Minnesota on I-90, this rest area is pretty good. I…read morelike that there is a complete 90 degree turn to enter and that should slow people down. The rest area has a nice "Wisconsin Welcomes You" sign for your state line selfie. Inside, the welcome center has tons of brochures and information on Wisconsin tourist attractions and lodging which would definitely be useful for visitors. The restroom is clean and the "you are here" map told me where I was. Note that there is only this rest area for eastbound traffic. The Minnesota Welcome Center is on the other side of the bridge.

In most places when you will cross the Mississippi River and journey from one state to another…read more Here in La Crosse, this section of the river is entirely in Wisconsin and you won't be at the border to Minnesota for another mile or so. There are two spans here, with the upriver (westbound) being the Cass Street Bridge and the downriver (eastbound) is the Cameron Avenue Bridge. They connect downtown La Crosse with Barron Island. It is only when you are on the La Crosse West Channel Bridge and you go from Barron Island to cross into La Crescent Minnesota. The Cass Street Bridge (the one that I drove heading west) opened in 1939 and replaced a swing bridge that was damaged in 1935. It is a cantilever bridge 17 panel rivet-connected warren through truss with a a total length of 2532 feet and a width of 30 feet. There is 67 feet of clearance below to the Mississippi. It is paired with the Cameron Avenue bridge that is more modern and opened in 2004. If you're here, do check out the deck truss approach spans which are curved. Another interesting feature is the stairways that are midway along the approach spans at each end of the bridge and allow pedestrians to climb up to the bridge sidewalk. The western stairway includes a crossover stairway that passes under the deck truss allowing pedestrians to switch which sidewalk they are walking on without walking across the roadway.
