Downtown McGregor benefiting from public, private efforts

MCGREGOR, Iowa — Iowa’s “pocket city” is so named due to its narrow, but relatively long downtown strip, cushioned between the Mississippi River, bluffs and the northern edge of Pike’s Peak State Park. Especially in the summer and fall, tourists flock to McGregor — a seven-minute drive across the river from Prairie du Chien, Wis. — to enjoy the surrounding natural beauty and to shop, wine and dine. Small businesses like Paper Moon, considered one of the most iconic indie bookstores in Iowa, enhance the experience for visitors.

Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers drove three hours to Lansing for the occasion. Normal traffic is expected to be 2,500 vehicles a day between Iowa and Wisconsin — the only bridge for 30 miles either way.
