Question for Wisconsin members

Do any of you live near Black River Falls? My wife and I might bemoving there in the near future and need some help finding housing that meets our needs.

We need something where cats are ok with at least 2 bedrooms and a garage, all for around $750/mo. It can be upwards of 40 miles away from BRF.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Zulu,

    I am up by Eau Claire and if BRF is anywhere near the same prices(and I don't see why it would be more, although I have been wrong before) you shouldn't have a problem with those criteria.

    We rented for a few years in Eau Claire and then a couple in Chippewa Falls. In CF, we had a 2 bedroom apartment with a 3rd bedroom/office room and a 1 car garage with plenty of extra storage for $525/month. That also included an extra pet fee tacked on.

    I would think if you could find something North of BRF, you would probably get by the cheapest. Maybe something in between Osseo and Hixton? Just a guess though.

    I grew up 20 miles straight west of Black River Falls. I don't know any current details on properties in the area but I think you will be able to find quite a bit available in your price range. Jackson and Treampeleau counties have some of the best deer hunting in the state. Manyguns is from the area and would probably be a good source for you.

    One of the best Gunshops is in BRF, Moes in the Hardware store. He sells 10% over his costs and has the largest inventory of guns and reloading supplies in the area.

    No. But I'm going to be calling Jackson Correctional tomorrow to find out if they have any openings.

    Don't be bitter that you got burned. You'll probably want to put some aloe on that.

    You must know the Cornell/Holcombe area then?

    That is where I grew up. [:)]

    Yep my Uncle had property on the Holcombe Flowage. I pass by the Chiefs field a few times a year. My Uncle and my Grandad spent many years up there on the water. Always thought it would be cool to fly into the airport on 27 and 64 with a wingover Cessna SkyHawk . Dont forget Caddot, the halfway mark between the Equator and the North Pole.

    I think they still have that big rocking chair on 27 just south of the bridge

    Last I remember it was still there. The building it sits in front of was Fritz Furniture. My father-in-law worked there for many years and eventually took over running it and renting the building. The economy put them out of business a few years ago though. [:(]

    If you are heading North and take a right just before you get to that rocker(right by the golf course) and go down the road about 2 miles, that is where I spent most of my young years hunting.

    BTW, sorry to kind of steal your thread Zulu. [:I] Just getting carried away BSing here. [:D]
