-The East Town Association will be erecting the scale model that is usually reserved for the city’s Bastille Day celebration in solidarity with the people of Paris. The tower is being put up near City Hall, and a vigil will be held there at 5:15 p.m. Monday.

*** –All local stations reported aggressively on the Republican presidential candidate debate last week since it was held in Milwaukee. But there was little local love for the Democratic candidate held in Iowa that aired Saturday on CBS. The only local TV reporter to, apparently, watch the Dem debate and write about it on Twitter?  of CBS affiliate WDJT-TV (Channel 58) which aired the debate.

–Oh, and one more thing. The Packers haven’t won since McDonald’s began an ad campaign featuring former Chicago Bears coach Mike Ditka wearing a Packer sweater.

The curse is real!
