Two great guests Thursday on two totally unrelated topics. First, UW-La Crosse graduate Grace Koch joins to talk about a study she did on the toxic chemicals that children interact with on playgrounds that are made up of that tire "mulch." Koch's study helped lead the city to convert Crowley Park into wood chips, but many school parks remain with the rubber surface. After that, UW-La Crosse archivist Laura Godden is in studio to talk about the history of the War Eagle steamboat that remains sunk just north of Riverside Park in the Mississippi River. The La Crosse Center Board is considering a War Eagle mural on the side of the building. Is there a better option?
