Kelly made her first appearnace in the 1940s and then rocketed into the top 100 by the late 1950s. At her peak, she spent 15 years (1967-1982) in the top 25, her best year being 1977 at #10. She is quickly losing favor so far in the 21st century.
Over the past two decades, publications such as the Globe, the National Enquirer, In Touch Weekly and more have claimed to have solved this terrible crime many times, announcing these scoops with a certitude that would be a lot more amusing if they didn't deal with the horrific murder of a child.
Corey made a tentative appearance in 1949, then spiked into the top 100 in the late 1960s. He spent a total of 28 years (1969-1986) in the top 100, peaking at #55 in 1989.

Well, Donald Trump has been taking this country on a backward route. Cyclospora is a parasite more commonly found in developing countries, but in the past several years, several outbreaks connected to contaminated produce have occurred in the U.S. Symptoms of Cyclospora infection include watery diarrhea, loss of appetite and weight, cramping, bloating or increased gas, nausea, fatigue, and low-grade fever.
Scott Walker's piggy bank.WEDC’s 2011 loan to Green Box was one of several problematic deals from WEDC’s early years that gained attention after a 2015 Wisconsin State Journal report on a separate failed $500,000 loan to Building Committee Inc. that was later written off.
WEDC’s uncollectable loan balance grew from $1.3 million in December 2014 to $11 million as of December 2016, according to the most recent Legislative Audit Bureau review of the agency.

In 2017, the Massachusetts-based retailer was purchased by Sycamore Partners, a private equity firm, for $6.9 billion. At that time, Staples had 1,255 stores in the U.S. and 304 in Canada. Staples had tried to merge with Office Depot but the deal was rejected by a U.S. federal judge on antitrust grounds in 2016, Fortune reported.

At some point in the not-too-distant future, I'll be looking directly at the facade of a 7-story building. Big changes proposed for this parking lot.

Zooming in a bit. Taller cluster of buildings, left to right: current DOT building, new DOT building under construction, Venture apartments, Weston Place (a.k.a. the Ghost Condo).
About as close up as I can get and keep the building in the frame. The new building contains 600,000 square feet of space compared to 368,000 square feet in the current building. The finished project will result in the moving and consolidation of 29 state offices.

The plan reduces by 15 the number of state leases in privately owned buildings scattered throughout Madison, saving taxpayers more than $3 million a year in rent, maintenance and energy costs, according to the Department of Administration.
In moving and consolidating 29 offices, the state will occupy 86,000 less square feet of office space. It also will reduce its leased office space by 178,637 square feet — about 17 percent of its total leased space in Madison, excluding the university. That includes nearly 103,422 square feet Downtown.

Sen. Leah Vukmir, R-Wauwatosa, cast the lone no vote.

A view from across Sheboygan Avenue
At this point in the construction timeline, excavation is underway.
What's under consideration. Excess acreage near the Department of Transportation's headquarters, which sits on prime commercial real estate in Madison.
Which excess acreage?
Along University Avenue?
Not likely, as there is no direct access from University.
Off Sheboygan Avenue, west of the DOT building?
Visitor parking. Not that it couldn't be relocated.
Along Segoe Road?
If I were a developer, this would be my choice. It's closest to Hilldale Shopping Center. And the parking lot appears to be underused.
