Being the city government nerd I am, I watch all the meetings. The last one was the planning commission meeting. At the end of the meeting they approved a conditional use permit for a new restaurant in the old location of the House of Soccer, formerly a taco joint, formerlyÂ a Brazilian joint, formerly the Hamburger Shop (bestÂ damn Wisconsin cheese soup in the world).

Rick Weiland’s wife Stacy Newcomb will be running the joint. Stacy heads up the State Theatre restoration project. I’m sure it will be a class joint. Rick and his wife are great people.

2009-03-18: CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT in the C-3, Central Business District to allow a Full-Service Restaurant within 100 feet of residential uses at 210 South Main Avenue.Â RECOMMENDATION:Â Staff recommends approval of the conditional use permit with the following conditions:
