Old Depot

Living in a new city is a strange and wonderful thing. When I first moved to Menomonie I prayed that I would be able to find the same kind of beautiful and old structures that Eau Claire has a wealth of. Well my prayers we're answered on a long walk that led to a disused train depot. It was littered with old Vinyl's, distorted by the sun and shattered by who knows what. There was a sign that said "Leave only footprints, take only pictures". And so I did.

4yrs ago for class I was to take pics of old abandoned buildings & this was one of them. At that time there was a sign that said they were going to remodel it, what happened? It is not exactly in a high traveled area like the rest of town.

A brownfield typically refers to a piece of land that was formerly industrial in nature, now available for use. There's usually complications with this type of land in the form of real or implied pollution, contamination, etc.

Pookums- what's a brownfield?
We've tried to find the owner of this building to no avail.

There have been so many plans for this place over the years, it's really too bad it sits on a brownfield. These cost $$$ to clean up and while the location is neat, it's surrounded by crappy looking businesses.
