The Pagoda Remains

Mike Paulus |

Our photo editor just called Woo’s Pagoda The Red Parrot a few weeks back because of the whole “since we no longer serve Chinese food and changed our name from Woo’s Pagoda to something bird-related, we’re gonna rip down that big green pagoda on the roof” rumor. And we heard what TV13 heard:

  • A longtime Eau Claire icon will remain on the roof of Woo's Pagoda. Owner Terry Voss says it was a widespread rumor that the pagoda was being removed since the name of the business was changed in recent weeks to The Red Parrot. …
  • The restaurant closed last month, and owner Terry Voss changed the name to fit a different atmosphere at the business which includes a bar and food. But, he said the pagoda remains.

If that pagoda was coming down, we were going to get pictures. No such luck. Which is good. Because we love the pagoda. And it remains.
