Viral Facebook Video Shows Woman with a Macaw in Platteville Store
Way back in January, I wrote about the time a zebra was spotted at a popular bar in Dubuque. If you're not familiar with the backstory, here's a quick little distillation... It all went down in May 2012. Jerald Reiter, 55 of Cascade, IA, stopped at the homey Dubuque staple The Dog House Lounge on a Sunday evening. Reiter had a zebra and a macaw in his vehicle, which immediately attracted the attention of bar patrons. People were taking pictures, and someone phoned the police. When the police showed up, they realized those animals were actually Reiter's legally registered pets!

Join in on the fun with exciting activities and a traveling exhibit at an architectural time capsule where LGBTQ+ entrepreneurs once restored 19th-century gems. MINERAL POINT, Wis. – Pendarvis, a Wisconsin Historical Society site, is thrilled to host “Pride at Pendarvis,” an event highlighting the voices and stories of LGBTQ+ visionaries and history makers. Two of those history makers include Bob Neal and Edgar Hellum, business entrepreneurs and life partners who dedicated their lives to saving the structures and stories of Mineral Point’s mining history. Together, they salvaged and restored six 1840s Cornish cabins and stone buildings in danger of demolition, and preserved Pendarvis historic site for future generations.
