A big, brownstone building, holding many books is a nice touch for a city. I used to come here more…read moreoften when I was younger, it used to be the spot for after school, and using the Internet, until I got it myself, at home. I would always meet friends here, and we would check out books and shows together. The building, really is what Washburn is. Brownstone! That doesn't sound like much, but much of Washburn, in the olden days, was all about brownstone. The building is really pretty and has been there forever. As for the books.. there used to be a selection that I enjoyed, I'm not sure if that remains the same!

I LOVE Bayfield! It is such a cute/beautiful tiny little town located on a huge Lake! What could be…read morebetter. I love the fact, that in the summer time, the population grows immensely. Tons of tourists. Plus, you can go to any of the Apostle Islands from Bayfield, which is definitely worth the trip. Especially Madeline. There really is no reason why you wouldn't want to go there if you are in Bayfield. I mean.. Just get on the Ferry, and in like 20 minutes, there you are! Bayfield has a unique vibe to it as well, tons of little family shops, good food, apples, and tons of little quaint bed and breakfasts. It really is one of those get away spots, especially if you are older and just want to chill out and enjoy yourselves without all the hustle and bustle. Love Bayfield... I really do!

Bayfield is certainly a nice place to visit in the summer and even in the winter the natural beauty…read moreof its surroundings are impressive but the town itself is dead in the winter. We found one nice bookstore (honest dog books) that was open but every other place of note and every coffee shop appeared to closed. Maybe it gets better on winter weekends but during the week it is not worth the drive....

Really enjoyed the Trolley Bus Tour - Murals of Ashland WI. GREAT JOB - Butch and Marybeth…read more Wonderful job. 5 stars in my book. I will recommend to all the locals and visitors. Only $5. 1.30min. A treat for me. Visitor from San Diego CA.

Oh, the Washburn Post Office! Where all your dreams of sending and receiving are granted!…read more They really do an excellent job at serving your needs! Not only do they get 5 stars, but two thumbs up as well!

So, I have to point out.. I am in no way standing behind the police in this review, but the…read moreWashburn police Department are pretty nice people! They handle a lot of problems in a small town and are giving, and understand when you do something that you know is your fault and feel bad about it. I should have lost my license before I was 18 due to speeding. I got pulled over in a school zone going 45...yeah, I know, I was only 17 and thought I could get a way with it.. but anyways.. That should have been the ticket to suspend my license. BUT... a nice officer saw that I was crying.. real tears, that is.. and really sad/scared about the whole getting my license taken away. He wrote me the ticket anyways, then went down to where my dad works, told him about the entire situation, and then had my dad tell me that I was getting my ticket ripped up. So, being at a school in a small town, you cannot really cry the entire day, because the teachers realize, and call your folks! My dad came up at lunch and told me what was going on.. I just had to go apologize to the cop after school and he would rip up my ticket. HE DID JUST THAT! I was so relieved! IT was really nice that they agreed to do that. Now, the rest of the cops in this town are something else... I did want to point out the nice gesture from that one guy about 6 years ago, though.. That really made my day!

Oh Jeez.. I've been here for countless wedding receptions, hockey games, and an enormous amount of…read morehome and garden shows! It's not exactly my favorite place to end up on a Saturday afternoon or anything, but it really isn't too bad of a place. Watching hockey games with my parents always made for a horribly night.. Now, I must included, that I hate hockey, don't understand it, and I don't like to be cold and forced to sit on a cold bench for three hours. All of the wedding receptions have always turned out nice.. The bad things about doing a reception here, is the place is hockey rink size, so if you don't fill up the place with people, it seems a bit empty and bare. But if you have a huge wedding and reception.. this would make for a great place to accommodate them all. The other weird thing about doing receptions here, is the decor.. You really need to have this place decorated a lot in order to give your guests a good feeling. Otherwise, you look around and see the American flag, and other flags and hockey things. I mean, it's not bad by any means, but can be a little tacky. The home and garden shows here, are nice. The place is big enough to get many of the area's business here in a booth. it usually fills up too with vendors and people. It works really nice. The kitchen in this place is kinda dirty, but clean enough.. whatever that means! The bathrooms are really gross though.. YIKES! Overall, it is a good place to host an event!
