Transcription for SEO only. A new Location and a new Executive Director DMI a.k.a. downtown MainStreet Inc. lacrosse is moving in the right direction with Terry Bauer the new Executive Director for downtown Main Street, Inc. Terry, what is downtown MainStreet Inc. it's an organization nonprofit concert with the city of La Crosse to ensure ongoing economic development while cultivating a relentless downtown BMIs membership driven organization Terry so one of the benefits of becoming a member of downtown MainStreet Inc. I think all of this is realize that their low storefront filled with businesses that the downtown community is much more vibrant and that works for all businesses solicit selfish interest to be part of downtown because it does build traffic promotions and events that create some vitality in downtown La Crosse and with the election without something like downtown MainStreet personals initiatives forward Terry that's working with the other organizations in the community, absolutely Bob, we have developed a synergy group which includes the explore lacrosse and concert convention and visitors Bureau Chamber of Commerce seven rivers Velasco and ourselves know-how, common theme to improve and enhance the La Crosse area featuring different strengths to the table.

We really need to get people living within 50 miles of lacrosse coming into lacrosse to shop dying and stay in hotels people enjoy walking around historic downtown La Crosse County talk where members Terry talk about investors rather than members and membership why you do that way. Why are they investors rather than members. I think words have meanings and is an investor, you have ownership part of the solution when you put in the downtown MainStreet and my investment is to generate a return for me so that's kind of the challenge that were faced with those following and going that investment return to those people that through our marketing efforts are events or promotions, just creating activity in downtown La Crosse.

Cardiac Cowboys

Cardiac Cowboys

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
