What's in store for 8001 University Avenue in Middleton, Wisconsin?
Located just west of the Beltline.
Not sure when the building was last occupied, but the shrubbery looks overgrown and shaggy.
Previously home to Benchmark Classics and Prefinished Millwork.
It's listed as a Superfund site.
Alternate view.
There is a car parked in front of the building, to the left of the frame of both photos. Should we be concerned?
The Continental branch of the Putnam County Library System is scheduled to reopen on April 27
As reported in Woman arrested in connection with Continental library vandalism. (Defiance OH Crescent-News, 4/22/2016)
Hmm, according to the library's website, the branch isn't open on Tuesdays.
The Putnam County Sheriff's Office press releases are current as of November 22, 2012.

A closer look at Wisconsin's population loss: Oneida County
Oneida County's population grew steadily throughout the 20th century, experiencing two notable bumps in the 1970s and 1990s, in spite of the fact that its county seat and largest city, Rhinelander, lost population during these two decades. Since 2000, the county's population has decreased by an estimated 3%.
As of July 1, 2014, 23.9% of Oneida County's population is 65 and over, significantly above the state average of 15.2%. Its 0-to-4 demographic is 4.6% compared to Wisconsin's 5.9%.

Wisconsin DOT Secretary says more funding is needed. (WEAU, 4/21/2016)
Those comments were made by Wisconsin DOT Secretary, Mark Gottlieb, Thursday at the Mid-State Truck Service in Chippewa Falls. He talked about the transportation challenges state-wide and what the DOT is doing to improve them in the Chippewa Valley.

Spurred by conservative talk radio and bloggers, the movement to repeal the automatic increases took the Capitol by surprise three years ago, overcoming initial concerns from Doyle and the then Republican leadership of the Legislature.
Signing the repeal three years ago, Doyle said, "It's not appropriate to raise taxes every year automatically, without elected officials having to stand up and be accountable to the people who are paying taxes."
Chris Christie joins Donald Trump in Indiana and looks as uncomfortable as ever
Looks like he can't wait to board the flight home. Mr. Christie will accompany Mr. Trump during the meetings and was expected to return home late Wednesday afternoon, said Pete Sheridan, a spokesman for the New Jersey Republican State Committee. Mr. Sheridan didn’t say who else the two will meet with.
Donald Trump appears to have thoroughly flummoxed two high-profile Republican governors.

A closer look at Wisconsin's population loss: Oconto County
Very much like Marinette County, its neighbor to northeast, Oconto County boomed during the 19th century and into the first decade of the 20th, the lumber industry being an important factor in this formula. Its population then settled into the 25,000-27,000 range from 1910 through 1970. It peaked at 43,384 in 2010 and has since declined by 225 residents, or less than 1%.
As of July 1, 2014, 18.4% of Oconto County's population is 65 and over compared to a state average of 15.2%. Its 0-to-4 demographic is 4.8% compared to Wisconsin's 5.9%.

Our cat Boxer: Still quite the furball at 18
From the spring of 1998
Dr. Jennifer Coates at PetMD answers the question "How Long Do Cats Live?"
Another statistic that I commonly use in practice is that cats that spend significant unsupervised time outdoors tend to live to be about 7-years-old, while indoor-only cats can be expected to make it to around 14 years of age.
In her prime, Boxer spent 'significant unsupervised time outdoors'. In fact, she experienced her own 'incredible journey' when she was 7 or 8, disappearing for a week and returning home unscathed, waltzing into the house as if her absence was no big deal.
She's one hardy and very healthy cat.

As K-Cup sales increased, consumers and environmental advocates grew more troubled. By 2011, the hashtag #killthekcup was circulating on Twitter. Last year, a special-effects-laden satirical video appeared on YouTube, depicting monsters made of K-Cups overrunning a city. Earlier this year, Hamburg, Germany, banned single-serve coffee pods in government buildings.

Virtual Reality Movies Add Dimension to Tribeca Festival. (The New York Times, 4/18/2016)
The arcade is where the festival is showcasing virtual-reality films, the still nascent art form made more accessible by a new generation of viewing devices that turn a movie into a 360-degree experience rather than something watched on a rectangular screen. Eighteen projects are gathered in a space at the festival hub downtown, and the sheer diversity is impressive. Especially if you’ve never watched a film in this format, it’s rather mind-blowing. But you may need a neck massage afterward from looking up, down and all around.Much different headline from the print edition: With a Helmet, Who Needs Popcorn?>
