In 1965, the song titled ‘Eight Days a Week‘ went to number one on the charts and around the world. It was one of the Beatles’ most successful songs, part of that because of its physical illogic. A week had to have eight days instead of seven to hold and display the emotion being felt and applied. The lyrics are appropriate here, as there are only eight days left until the elections are voted in, tallied, and then announced.

The mall's spookier side appears as horror movie film crew uses Uptown Janesville for film shoot

Hello, Rock County! Here are your top Monday headlines: The Uptown Janesville mall has been haunted by an increase in kids who are involved in youth hockey and other sports at the adjacent Woodman’s Center, but that’s not very spooky. At least, not as spooky as what’s been going on in the background. Local residents have been talking for weeks about a Wisconsin shopping mall that serves as the filming location for a new, as-yet-unreleased horror film, ”The Space Between.” They say stills and snippets from the film shown in internet teases make it clear: From the concourse’s walkways, to the mall’s center court, it’s clear that the movie was filmed at the Uptown Janesville mall. The talk is true. The Elkhorn-based Career and College Academy received a $1.035 million grant for its YouthBuild grant , which gives students hands-on training for work in the trades.
