With the way already pointed out with our excursion to the Paper Discovery Center in Appleton Wisconsin earlier this month, I thought perhaps we might further trod the Path of Tourism. After all, the Jessica Journals are all about increasing knowledge, correcting falsehoods, and generally promoting truth in all it’s many forms.
Now, I realize that many people incorrectly view Appleton, Wisconsin as a provincial town with few cultural attractions of any significance to people outside of the limited area of the Fox Cities, but in this believe they are sorely mistaken for A-Town is, as a matter of fact, chock full of highly interesting and/or enjoyable attractions....
Technically, it’s titled “The Oracle”, and it stand majestically on the north side of the Oneida Skyline Bridge where all can gaze upon its splendor. Although it’s easy to find, what exactly we’re all looking in awe upon is somewhat more difficult to ascertain. Commonly held beliefs are that it’s (a) a pile of blocks, (b) a horse, or (c) a horse nuzzling a penis. I am in the minority when I state that it’s obviously a deformed camel. This, to me, seems quite evident by the large, trapezoidal protuberance upon the hideous creature’s back.

I still don’t see a penis though.
Just walk down John St. until you hit John St. You can’t miss it.

The food was great, the boba was greatly disappointing, and the service just plain sucked. Those are, in and of themselves, hardly noteworthy; however, this restaurant is home to one of the most shockingly dirty and algae-filled fish tanks I have come across during my 23 year sojourn upon God’s bright earth. Also of note is the solitary white employee in an establishment that is, otherwise, populated by Asians. Although everyone else wears white shirts and black pants, this particular individual apparently is forced to wear an ill-fitting, tan, Mandarin-themed costume which, I suspect, in some way explains the less-than-cheerful service.
It’s entitled “Ring Dance” and Dallas Anderson, the artist, originally wanted to make all the children naked, but I had lunch with him once and he thinks I’m cool so I won’t make any jokes about either of those two facts.

Previously known as "Vixens", this "tavern" has now, according to what I once read someplace online, changed its name to "Coyote Rose" and supposedly "stopped" providing "adult entertainment".
The great Cajun restaurant next to the place of ill repute.
I hear that if you put out a bowl of plomeek soup and wait in a very still and quiet manner Mr. Spock will wander over from nearby Fratello’s where he was having lunch, raise an eyebrow as he observes you making an idiot of yourself, and say “Fascinating.”
What can I say? Sometimes the herd needs thinning.
Well does it deserve the mascot of a pig, for it’s inability to provide it’s customers with either plates or descent-sized napkins is, in a word, disgusting.
I suspect the only reason that it’s still in business is because it is the home of the evil UPS Conspiracy which has been so well documented elsewhere on this website. It certainly can’t be a result of the customers because there are none.
Nobody famous ever lived, died, fornicated, or signed an important treaty within it’s walls...but it was the world's first home lighted by a central hydroelectric station.
This massive metal tower sits atop the AAC and transmits telluric currents out into the vast reaches of space where it can be intercepted and used as a guide for the alien's when they return to earth. Although we are all waiting with bated breath, the citizens of A-Town have yet to experience the second coming of Xenu.







...And if that doesn’t prove that Appleton and its outlying towns aren’t worthy of respect and interest, then I don’t know what will.
