Cars packed Loopy’s on Business 29 on July 3. Rental business was brisk and regular shuttles took people to put their tubes in at Frenchtown near the Veteran’s Bridge.

Chamber Webcam Monitors Roundabout
A camera located at the Chippewa Falls Chamber of Commerce building at 1 North Bridge Street constantly broadcasts a video view of the Bridge and River Street intersection.
The images are low resolution and don’t reveal license plate numbers, but if you are at all camera-shy, you may consider avoiding this corner.

Freight Train Crosses Omaha Bridge
It is a rare site to spot a train on the old Omaha Bridge. This one could be heard coming from the flats before crossing to the South Side and turning to the West.
The South Side of the bridge emerges near the place where Jeffers Street turns northeast to Technology Way. The northernmost span was destroyed by fire in 1993 and rebuilt without the upper trusses.

Blacktop Patched on Main and Greenville
Some of the potholes have been filled on Greenville and Main Streets on the South Side of Chippewa Falls. Interestingly, the historic stretch of concrete on Greenville near Linden Street still appears very much like it did when it was part of the Yellowstone Trail about 100 years ago. Based on recent roadscaping, it also doesn’t appear that Greenville will connect to Park Avenue any longer.
