From the Wisconsin Blogosphere: A Forgotten Town and Pink Floyd

A couple recent blog posts of note.

First is Ryan Urban's "Uncovering old Lehigh".

Ryan gives some history on the town of Lehigh which was up in Barron County. All that remains is a decaying schoolhouse.

"According to the 1976 book 'Barron County Schools Past and Present,' Lehigh was 'a Polish community. The school was the center of many of their activities, and the young people often took part in putting on plays and programs to raise funds for the Christmas program. Many of the students went on to become teachers, artists, successful businessmen and farmers.'"

Next is an encomium for Pink Floyd's Animals at The Aural Retentive.

He writes:

"I like to listen to 'Dark Side Of The Moon' on occasion, but for me, when I am in the place for some Pink Floyd… it’s 'Animals' all the way."

I listen to DSotM less frequently than he does but I agree - Animals is superior. (I wrote something similar earlier this month.)
