Around the Corner with John McGivern | Program | Eau Claire (#813)

[Original Airdate: April 4, 2019] Eau Claire really IS the definition of renaissance. As John Gurda said, if you were familiar with this northwestern Wisconsin city 20 years ago, you’re not familiar with it now unless you live in Eau Claire! The new Pablo Center for the Arts, lighted bridges and public art, many company headquarters and Phoenix Park have transformed downtown EC. Old foundational places that could never be replaced, like the Court’n House and the Paul Bunyan Logging Camp Museum, retain the roots of this city. And new things in old spaces, like the Lismore and Oxbow hotels, Banbury Place in the old Uniroyal plant, and tons of renovation on the UW-EC Campus prove a commitment to reinvestment and renovation. This is a city infused with music, youthful energy, Kubb and tons of activity, all supported by investment and commitment. Eau Claire was the perfect place to finish our eighth season!
