" I think it does matter to you. You tote yourself as being of higher quality than other peopleand what you type on here is a direct representation of yourself as they are your words. That is my point. You are quick to judge the residents of Sparta even though you do not know how dirty their hands are, how much they sweat, or how much they have bled. And when you make comments like this: so continue to make your comments as they are shallow and uneducated", you are very hypocritical. Im just pointing out that your comments are shallow and uneducated. (i.e. waistingyou mean wasting? How much I have bleedyou mean bled? And please, use THERE correctly). Again, my point is that you think of yourself as being so much better than others and saying they have shallow, uneducated statements when you, yourself, are very hypocritical. "

The majority of the lower end of the quality scale people living THERE, (not their), would still be able to correctly spell DILAPITATED opposed to delapitated, as well as AMUSING as opposed to ammusing, and lets not forget RIVALRY not rivaly. Other hand is two words, not one. My guess is you are a trust fund baby that has never had to get your hands dirty. "

" Uhhh...never said that was the stereotype, but you thinking that proves my point. Also proves my point that all of your statements about Sparta are derived from sheer ignorance. I take it back, you never said "dirtbags"...but you made the insinuation in a round about way, my apologies. You're right; Tomah and Sparta are pretty typical military towns. They are both full of hard working, blue collared, people. Not to mention the high number of Military Veterans living in each community. So, by running down our communities, you are essentially running down all of the veterans, too. Stay classy. "

As far as never living by those people in sparta, there is a reason for that and it has been by choice. Also I never used the word "Dirt Bags". I also would never live in tomah, both communities are typical communities close to any type of military installation. And yes I do avoid going on Hwy 16, that would require me to drive through sparta. "

" In no way was I bashing Tomah and if you read my previous post, then you would easily see that I don't think you are the only one who thinks this...just pointing out that the crime rate, or what you refer to as "dirt bags", are more prominent in Tomah than in Sparta. Pick up one of the papers and browse the the Monroe County Court listings and you will easily see this. Every town has it's "run down" areas...have you driven along HWY 16 lately? My guess is no. If so, you would see the NEW developments with brand new house. I'm sure you make your way to Tomah all the time, right? Just an FYI, Fort McCoy employs just as many people from Tomah as it does from Sparta. "
OnaRes wrote on Aug 26, 2008 12:14 PM:
" I would never live in sparta, the majority of people living their are on the lower end of the quality scale. In the years I have been in this area it seems that sparta progressively gets more delapitated. Houses are going to shambles, streets are dirty. Tomah on the otherhand is much cleaner and well maintained. You must be from sparta, I think the rivaly that you all posses with tomah is ammusing. Seems like people from sparta bash tomah and vice versa. You think I am the only one who believes this? then you are the ignorant one. "

" OnaRes: Have you ever lived in Sparta, or are all of your comments derived from sheer ignorance? You would be amazed to see that the crime in Tomah is actually a lot worse than Sparta...yet the Trib never writes anything about it. If Fort McCoy shut down, I'm sure Century foods would be thriving even more than it is. How is Sparta going down hill every year? Examples, please. Pretty sure the addition of Century Foods not all that long ago, as well as Multi-Stack are showing that Sparta is doing the opposite of what you claim. "

" Sconni Fan....No I do not have any deragatory comments about Onalaska as a whole. It has its' issues, but over all it is a good community to live in, from my point of view. I have only ever ran down one other community in the area and that is Sparta. Sparta is well deserving of all the negative comments posted in here by everyone. I know that comment is going to get alot of response, but people of sparta take a look around, your community is going further down hill every year. If Fort McCoy shut down what would you have left?

" A recent drive through Onalaska convinced me that a large portion of town is indeed getting "trashy." What the Ona City fathers and mothers need to realize is that the good portions of town are at risk of a growing "slum ring" that is starting to stretch from high school north to Holmen, 4th to 14th streets. Maybe some aggressive condemnation, demolition and redevelopment can stem this growing tide. Otherwise, expect this section of Onalaska to start looking like the southside of La Crosse west of 16th Street. "
