    Viiroqua NewsViroqua Bypass
    Word is phases 2 and 3 are on hold for now due to lack of state funds. Until the plans for Viroqua and Westby bypasses are scrubbed, its like a meteor on the edge of the solar system. If you don't think the bypass will kill the downtowns, take a look at downtown Richland Center, or Whitewater.

    Site NewsDaily attacks from Russian spam gangs and their commentbots have forced me to disable comments on Viroqua.org stories. I hope to implement security features that will allow future story comment posts. You can still post your stories using the get published feature.

    Viiroqua NewsThe developers of the new Walgreens store in Viroqua are trying to get around our sign ordinance to install an electronic scolling sign. Truthfully, they squeaked in 3 days before the ordinance went into effect. Now everyone will want one. You can read the story here.

    The Vernon County Broadcaster quotes Alderman Terry Noble: "I don't think it's too much too ask for a person that is getting $600,000 in TIF district aid to comply with the sign ordinance like anyone else and not come in three days ahead of it taking affect just so they don't have to comply," Noble said. "I don't think that was the spirit of the ordinance."

    The question for me remains why are we paying them $600K to come to Viroqua. I think it should be the other way around. How much will it cost me to get a Best Buy on the hamburger edge of town?

     


     Link submissions to Viroqua.org,-- local weerwolves only! Email Article To a Friend View Printable Version

    Site NewsI get lots of link submissions but few that are related to Viroqua and Vernon County, at least as far as I can tell.

    For example: Weerwolfgrove.net doesn't appear to have any connection to Viroqua. The site is in SC and I don't think there is any direct link to the Viroqua community. It is so bizarre (scroll to the bottom of the Merry Meet page for a look at the wolf himself), I'm tempted to add it to the links for fun. I don't doubt that there are more than a few Wiccans in the coulees and maybe a weerwolf or 2 and that's fine by me. I was privileged to attend a Handfasting (Wiccan wedding ceremony) a while back, officiated by Selena Fox, and it was a beautiful event. However, the rule is "links are local".

    Weerwolves beware, there's already plenty of spooky stuff in the coulees...giant wild pigs, coyote, panther, witches and willow-wisp, not to mention all the regular folk have guns. All of whom may add their local link by using the links icon.

    General NewsThe Second Coming

    TURNING and turning in the widening gyre
    The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
    Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
    Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
    The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
    The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
    The best lack all conviction, while the worst
    Are full of passionate intensity.

    Surely some revelation is at hand;
    Surely the Second Coming is at hand.
    The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out
    When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi
    Troubles my sight: somewhere in sands of the desert
    A shape with lion body and the head of a man,
    A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
    Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
    Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds.
    The darkness drops again; but now I know
    That twenty centuries of stony sleep
    Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
    And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
    Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?
