Our program last week was "UWL "Hear Here" Project..presenter Ariel Beaujot. “Hear, Here,” is a historical tour in which participants can stop at marked spots in the city and use cell phones to hear stories of people tied to the spots. In downtown La Crosse, orange street-level signs with the Hear, Here logo will show you where stories are located. With your mobile phone, dial a toll-free number on the signs to access first-person accounts of things that happened in the exact location where you stand.
