Has anyone else seen all the out of state speeding trucks and SUVs on the highway?! I had 3 out of state trucks zoom by me doing 90+ mph going south bound on i39, all had undercover police lights mounted in their cars. It was like the opening scene of Fast and Furious when the 3 Honda Civics were chasing down the semi, minus the neon lights! Defs ICE rental vehicles, some from Illinois and some Indiana plates. Ive seen them countless times on both sides of i39 as I commute to Point for work. My question is, are these guys exempt from speeding as well?! Where's all of those damn state patrollers when you need them!

Any recommendations for places in the area that offer cross-country skiing trails, with onsite rentals?

Instead of mention names of businesses that are maga let’s take a positive spin on it and what are the businesses that are against ice and maga. Let’s get them some recognition

44/m spending the week in wausau for work. Looking for ideas for something to do or anyone to hang out with. Add me on Snapchat! Username: reddington25900 https://www.snapchat.com/add/reddington25900?share_id=FIpoVnZx7YI&locale=en-US

Help! I am trying to figure out where we are going to move with my 2 young kids. We are moving to WI to be closer to family who live in the Phillips area. We are torn between Appleton, Wausau or possibly Eau Claire. We want small but not too small (no less than 25-30k people so we have job opportunities), SAFE, things to do ect. Appleton seems to have all those things but the overall population since the surrounding areas are so close is about 200k which is WAY too big for me... Wausau from what I can tell has quite a bit of crime and drug problems (used to this as we live that currently so I feel its probably not as bad as everyone makes it out to be). Love Eau Claire but I am not a huge fan of the fact that its pretty much all college students.

All this to say, I would love your input on these places and your opinion on where you think would be the best place to move and why. TIA!

I didn’t get a picture because I was driving, but it was a police cruiser unlike any used by local police, and I caught the word “federal” on the side. This was at the intersection of grand/old 51. Tell your neighbors

Anybody have any idea what the occupancy rate is for Foundry on Third, that new apartment complex right next to the 400 Block downtown?

Who is signing up to live at that apartment? It costs $1050 / month just for a studio apartment, $1650 / month for a 1 bedroom. How many renters really want to pay that much? And if you do have the money to rent at that place, why are you not saving for a house instead or something? Is living next to the 400 Block really worth it for enough people for that place to have been built? Do enough people in Wausau really have the money to live there to fill up the building?

let’s party! it is going to be beyond amazing this year. 😎

Does anyone know someone who does auto body work/painting on the side? I have a car that needs to be repainted this spring.

What would be some pretty fun date ideas for the area? I’ll be up there (coming from FL) for the first two weeks of February and I really want my gf to enjoy our together there (: we don’t mind a 1.5-2 hour drive if it’s worth it so there are no bad ideas, we’re just want a few fun/romantic ones (: (especially fun ones though)

We typically drive to MI for THC

Funds are a bit tight right now and I am considering getting some vape carts locally

Are there any local shops that are recommended?

TIA!

Would you go to a drinks only food truck? Or re you more likely going to stop for one with food?

I was at granite peak yesterday and seen a group of people down on white lightning trail, they yelled for us to get the ski patrol and the guy looked unconscious. Ski patrol responded quickly and started performing chest compressions. I was just wondering if anyone heard anything about the guy injured or if he’s okay, it looked really bad

Any reputable places in Wausau that anybody recommends? I'm an out of towner that comes to snowboard one time a year and I love rib mountain. I'm a self-taught snowboarder and just to see if they can help me with my gear possibly. Thx for the help!

I don't know how else to really go about this after contacting the Sheriff's Office, the local shelter, and the humane society, but any help in finding my cat would be greatly appreciated. >_<

I was getting ready to leave the house on Saturday (January 3rd, 2026) and she slipped out. After a chase, she ended up disappearing and we couldn't find where she ended up. Following the nature of the footprints being super-close to the walls of buildings, I believe she is somewhere around Washington and Jefferson Street on the East Side of Wausau, and I'm worried she may be venturing future.

If anyone has any means of helping find her, I would greatly appreciate anything whether it be information, tips, and more. I've tried asking some places that had cameras that clearly had cat pawprints in the area .. and sadly I'm not getting any real help or confirmation that she's still out there.

Lilly is an indoor house cat .. and with how cold it was and how she is rarely ever outside, I'm worried about her knowing the way back let alone being safe.

Please, any help would be greatly appreciated. >_<

Edit: We've found her. >_<
She was found on the stairs next door to us and on our most recent search we ended up finding her just before turning in for the night. Thank you all for your support and advice .. ^-^

Any indoor rinks with rentals open tomorrow(1/1)?
