From a busy downtown corner, to a vacant lot, recent changes on 4th Street, Yesterday in La Crosse
Just a few years ago, the northwest corner of 4th and King was home to a couple of popular businesses, the India Curry House, and the Glory Days sports bar. A drastic change at that location happened in April of 2022, when an early morning fire broke out inside the Curry House restaurant, which had previously been home to the popular Hunan restaurant. The fire was first reported around 4 a.m. on April 28th, and within about three hours, the front wall collapsed onto the sidewalk and street.

Wisconsin clerk who failed to count almost 200 ballots is suspended
MADISON, Wis. (AP) — The mayor of Wisconsin’s capital city said Wednesday that she has placed the municipal clerk on leave as investigators work to determine how she failed to count almost 200 absentee ballots in the November election. Madison Mayor Satya Rhodes-Conway said in a statement that the city has launched an investigation and that she needed to suspend City Clerk Maribeth Witzel-Behl to maintain public confidence in the clerk’s office. The mayor added that the city will spare no expense to ensure every vote is counted heading into the swing state’s spring election. The state Elections Commission also is investigating whether Witzel-Behl violated any state laws or abused her discretion. The uncounted ballots did not change the results of any races but four Madison voters whose ballots weren’t counted filed claims last week for $175,000 each from the city and Dane County, the first step toward initiating a lawsuit. The mayor’s spokesperson, Dylan Brogan, said Witzel-Behl will continue to be paid during her suspension. She makes $152,300 annually. No listing for her personal contact information could be immediately found.
