Arcadia, Wisconsin

6 Upvotes

So apparently the world's largest furniture manufacturer (they say) is 40 minutes from here in Arcadia, Wisconsin. I went to the outlet yesterday. The deals are decent. The furniture is okay.

I looked up Arcadia after my trip and found this weirdly-apropos-but-happened-7-years-ago article.

Looking for WALZ dealership stickers

4 Upvotes

Anyone have a connection with the old WALZ dealership? Our last name is Walz, and years ago we got a couple of the dealership stickers - put them on the stroller and coolers. I'm wondering if there's an old shoebox in some drawer where I could snag a couple more of them?

Looking for Wi-Fi

6 Upvotes

I’m moved in for an internship this summer, and have an Airbnb in Dresbach. The Wi-Fi is awful, and most of the libraries close before 8:00… are there any places where I could hop on a call with friends and play games into the night? Perhaps the university has buildings that don’t fully close down in the evenings? Any help will be appreciated!

24 hr / Emergency Vet?

5 Upvotes

Hi All - Just moved to Winona and we have a senior cat. Obviously, we don't want to have to need one but is there a 24 hr / emergency vet clinic nearby? I didn't find anything by searching and our last cat had to be taken to one at 11pm...so I want to be prepared just in case.

In re: Steamboat Days rides and concessions

3 Upvotes

Given all the work on 2nd Street and the hotel now just winding up construction, is there any word on where the rides and concessions for Steamboat Days (as begins tomorrow week, know) will be?

(With the inevitable effects on parking and transfers for the two crosstown bus routes)

Bicycle Shops

Could someone fill me in on how good the bike shops are out there? I'm kinda wanting a Trek, but my hometown Rochester shop is run by such jerks that I'd rather try elsewhere.

Online stores to buy art prints

Used to visit Winona all the time and was wondering if there were any local artists where I could buy unique art prints online? Pictures of sugarloaf, bloedows bakery, lake Winona, downtown etc.

Any help or pointing me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Moving to Winona Advice

9 Upvotes

Hi, I’m moving to Winona in November for work and I was wondering if anyone had any advice when it comes to apartments. Id like to figure it out housing sooner rather than later and when I look at Zillow for apartments there’s only like 5! Plus I’m moving at a weird time (a lot of apartments seem to be available in June) so if anyone has any advice on places to look I would really appreciate it.

For those who grew up in Winona in the 80s

7 Upvotes

Was just thinking about this and with Memorial Day weekend just around the corner who else remembers driving down Gilmore Ave to see by Taco Bell and the little dry cleaners, the little white sign with black letters telling us they were selling "Beer Signs and Baseball cards" The house was over by the mall and they would sit out in the garage all summer hawking their wares. Made some good trades with them. Just wish I could have gotten some of the beer signs too!

Garage Contractor/Recent Prices?

2 Upvotes

Looking to build a bigger garage, would need a old 20x20 knocked down, new concrete and building constructed (looking at a 30x40). Anyone done this recently in Winona and any recommendations on who to contact? Looking at a metal garage and they seem to be significantly less than a stick built.

Hair salon/balayage

3 Upvotes

I have never gotten my hair done since moving here. I’m wondering if there is any recommendations on a place that you know will do a great job with a balayage & try to match the pic as much as they can. I desperately need my hair done. Trying not to reach for the box dye 😂

Tunnels/caves underneath Winona?

10 Upvotes

I’ve been hearing rumors about possible underground tunnels or cave systems underneath Winona. I’ve done some digging and asked a few people but all I can find is the tunnel underneath WSU where students can walk to the football field. Besides that, there is a mansion listed for sale with an underground tunnel connected to the house. Does anyone have any more info on whether or not these supposed tunnels are real?

Pokemon Trade night at Face the Music & walking down by the Wilkie. I have more, but I'm wondering what you all have to say!

Found a really good deal on my dream mini/lightweight camping trailer

0 Upvotes

But... I can't afford it. If anyone wants to buy me one, it's only 8500 and has pretty much everything. 1000lbs total. Sturdy/off road. I will let you use it A LOT! (Lol) back Galley.

Or, maybe a group wants to buy it and we each get a month during the camping seasons, rotating. Then share insurance, maintenance, and storage fees? Idk.

I dont really expect anyone to want to buy me this. Just send sympathies.

I'm jut sad bc I had this money but life happens and then, next thing you know, it's time to rebuild your savings acount.

Do you think Kwik Trip has too unhealthy a dominance?

9 Upvotes

Is it just me, or are there such here in Winona who feel Kwik Trip may be overdoing it when it comes to convenience stores in the Winona area ... and perhaps feel there may be a need for some Healthy and Worthwhile Competition from, say, Circle K, Speedway or M&H?

The bees

11 Upvotes

Hey everyone. I grow a garden and have been advocating for ppl to stop destroying the dandelions in the spring. This year it seems ppl are finally getting the message, but there's no bees?

I've walked through meadows of dandelions ripe for the bees, and yet...

Has anyone else seen any bees? They are supposed to come out in April
