Many people have voiced their desire for another movie theatre in Wausau so they don’t have to drive all the way to Rothschild to see a movie. What if we have a movie theatre right in the Wausau Center Mall? Or better yet- a movie theater that ONLY plays movies that feature Oscar winner (!!!) Leonardo Dicaprio? Dang, I’d be there every weekend.

2. Clam Petting Zoo

Every child has fond memories of visits to the zoo with the family. Usually these trips included petting goats, gawking at birds, and watching gorillas roam around their pens. But what about clams? Clams act as water filters and play a key role in the ocean’s food chain. We don’t appreciate or see them enough in northern Wisconsin. Let’s change that.

3. NASA Extension

I was devastated when I heard that NASA doesn’t plan on making any more trips to the moon. Charles Bolden, the Chief of NASA was quoted saying that their reason was “We can only do so many things”. Let’s take on the task as a community! Let’s start a volunteer astronaut department based in the old Sears, and send people up to the moon. What a story it would be to tell our grandkids.

4. ANOTHER bouncy house (for adults)

We already have a Jump On It and a Children’s Museum in the mall, why not add an adult version of the two? We want to have fun, too.

5. Goldfish Graveyard

Why do these poor creatures all live with the toilet as their fate? Let’s lay our quiet, slimy friends to rest the right way with a proper community goldfish graveyard. Death is hard. Let’s give our friends and children the closure they need when the time comes.

6. Library

Except fill it just with books by Stephanie Meyer. Basically I’m saying let’s buy 10,000 copies of Twilight and keep them in the old JC Penny.

7. Birds
