Hi James, there are quite a few places that popped up downtown recently - wasn’t my intention to make a comprehensive list of every single one, nor do I think that’s necessary. The point is downtown has been popping on it’s own, pre-downtown housing. I think when those projects finally do come to fruition, it’ll be even better.
I am pleasantly surprised at how much the downtown has changed since last summer. The Imaginarium and a number of new and varied businesses downtown have made a difference for sure.
Great article, Bryan. Congratulations to the Chocolate Café and all the businesses in Downtown.
Let’s not forget that a big chunk of these people are tourists and a big applause to the CVB for the promotion. Still a long ways to consolidate the tourism industry but I think is on its way, I have always though, since I came to Wausau, that Wausau is Tourist Destinations.
You forgot the Object, the tiny shop now occupying the former Goldsmith space. Wonderful array of kitchen and household items very tastefully presented. Cool owner story too. You owe them.

Great article. We should all hope for a vibrant downtown. Wow— Children’s Imaginarium surely is a catalyst. Congrats.

Thanks Juan, good point about tourism. Hopefully tourism in Wausau will continue to grow.
