Menominee grants three conditional marijuana licenses

MENOMINEE — The City of Menominee has granted conditional marijuana retail licenses to three businesses that are built out and prepared to open. “We have started moving forward and have issued a retail license to the following: Highwire Wire Farms, Per I/Urb and Per II/Puff,” City Manager Brett Botbyl stated in an email. He said the licenses are contingent on the businesses passing all state and local inspections, codes, rules and full payment of application fees and/or past due/current taxes. This action comes as the result of a Nov. 3 ballot initiative that saw about 60% of voters approve increasing the number of marijuana licenses from nine to 13. There currently are eight licensed marijuana retailers in the city. All three of the businesses granted conditional licenses took different paths to get to this point. Highwire Farms, 1015 10th St. (corner of 10th Street and 10th Avenue), was part of a 2023 settlement agreement. Puff Cannabis, 2305 10th St. (the former Family Video location), was built out and ready to open last summer but could not get approval from the city. Urb, 1015 26th Ave. (the corner of 10th Street), has been ready to open for more than a year.

The Deadliest Wildfire in American History

On October 8, 1871, a devastating wildfire swept through northeastern Wisconsin—so devastating, in fact, that the disaster remains the deadliest wildfire in American history. It would later be known as the Peshtigo Fire, with a death toll ranging from 1,200 to 2,500 fatalities. Even with these jarring numbers, the tragedy is largely overshadowed by another event that occurred on the very same night : the Great Chicago Fire. The destruction unfolding around Peshtigo, however, was considerably deadlier. Within hours, homes, businesses, and vast stretches of forest had been consumed, leaving survivors struggling to comprehend what had happened. More than 150 years later, the catastrophe remains a disturbing example of how dangerous wildfires can truly get. A Disaster Years in the Making But how did such a deadly fire even erupt in Peshtigo? The story actually starts way back: long before the fire, Peshtigo had developed into a prosperous lumber town. Sawmills, woodworking factories, and railroad operations supported the local economy. However, it's not difficult to see that these industries also created dangerous conditions —case in point, that it would eventually lead to the most horrific fire in American history. It, of course, didn't help either that northeastern Wisconsin was experiencing

From the Files: Nov. 8-14

100 Years Ago Nov. 10, 1926 The stage is set. From the time when the first contingent of the local American Legion parade steps off at the Hosmer-Main street starting point at 9:30 tomorrow morning, until the final “shell: has burst with an un-Marinette-like WHAMMM in the fastness of Boom Island, the city will be decidedly well aware that it has a Legion Post second to none in the state in point of patriotic activity. 50 Years Ago Nov. 8, 1976 “We’ll Lick the Marines” was the message on the float (shown above) entered Saturday by the sophomore class at Menominee High School in the annual M-M parade. The class, which took first place in the float competition, proved to be accurate prognosticators as the Marines could not come up with a win and dropped a 15-0 decision to the Maroons. 25 Years Ago Nov. 9, 2001 Letters from the front are among the most poignant and evocative reminders of past wars. Written in trenches, in makeshift barrack and hospital wards, these missives brought the brutality of war home to families, wives, sweethearts and friends. They also brought messages of hope, faith and forgiveness. [And] the Menominee County Historical society
