Haiku News: it's exactly what it sounds like. Tidbits of Chippewa Valley news told through haiku. Here's the super in-a-nutshell on three recent newsworthy topics: A new street tunnel mural by Boyd Park (1202 Fairway St., Eau Claire), the City's temporary partial closure of downtown's Graham Riverside parking ramp (402 Graham Ave., Eau Claire), and the inaugural Local Store (205 N Dewey St., Eau Claire) pumpkin carving contest.

Something optical
with hues of red and orange
arrived to Boyd Park.

A new art mural
crafted by Lori and Jyl
“Lightscape” is it's name.

Have you passed through yet?
located under Main street
an ombre awaits.

More parking changes
Coming to downtown Eau Claire
On November first.

Graham Riverside
Parking ramp closed until Spring.
Thanks, safety concerns.

The lower level
Will stay open, though,
For y’all using ramps.

A bump in the night
New life made by carving knife
A face appears light.

Under the office
a breath of fresh energy
spooky magic lives.

Come carve a pumpkin
be part of a magic world
a new tradition.
