'''WEEP-TV''' broadcasts television programming to a radius of at least three miles on channel 34. Its transmission tower is located on the highest spot found in Winesburg, Indiana, in the mustard and mint field just out of town. It also appears on cable channel 876 on [[Cloud Sump Cablevision]].

It is believed that the strong electronic signals associated with television broadcasting have not had significant effect on either the mustard or the mint. (The latter is an essential source of mint for [[the Floss Factory]].)

The Whinesburg Winery

'''The Whinesburg Winery of Winesburg''' is notable for the displays of its [[w:Haint blue|haint blue]]-colored bottles on [[w:Hoodoo_(spirituality)#Bottle_tree|bottle trees]] scattered about the winery's grounds. It has been said that ''the Whinesburg '87'' was a particularly "good year," but that seems unlikely.

The [[w:Winemaker|vintner]] of the Whinesburg Winery remains nameless. Most of the vintage is consumed by the nameless proprietor. We only know of the winery's existence thanks to Winesburg's own Folklorist, [https://www.susan-neville.com/ Susan Neville], who lives next door and tastes one glass of Whinesburg wine each night as she documents the production and consumption of Whinesburg wine next door.

[[File:Mint fields.jpg|thumb|Mint fields outside Winesburg, Indiana. Varieties produced included peppermint, spearmint, penny royal, and chocolate mint.]]
At one point the vast flat '''fields''' outside the city of Winesburg, Indiana, were planted with various kinds of '''mint''' plants, the essences and oils of their leaves were used to flavor the products of the Wrigley Chewing Gum Company and the now defunct floss of the Winesburg [[The Floss Factory|Dental Floss Company]]. It was said that one could smell the refreshing odor of the town when you were still miles away.

As the use of the aromatic plant declined and with closure of the dental floss factory, the fields were converted into various testing and proving grounds. There were acres of paint testing sheds and the tracks and simulated urban streets where marching musical bands field-tested the lyres used to hold sheet music on their instruments when mobile.

[[File:EjectionSeat.jpg|thumb|alt=Testing airplane ejection seats.|A brave (?) test pilot.]]
Also, for a brief time, a local start-up company, The Butler Ejection Seat Company, used a forty acre parcel to test their product then in great demand as the world's air forces converted from prop-driven craft to jets. For a while it was said you knew when you were approaching Winesburg when you saw the forest of dissipating vertical contrail hovering in the distance.

Welcome, gentle reader, to the modest home of Winesburg, Indiana, on the World Wide Web.

==History==
===The City of Winesburg, Indiana's Land Acknowledgement Statement===
The City of Winesburg is located within the traditional homelands of the [[w:Miami_people|Myaamia]] and [[w:Shawnee|Shawnee]] people, who along with other indigenous groups ceded these lands to the United States in the first Treaty of Greenville in 1795. The Miami people were forcibly removed from these homelands in 1846. Winesburg, Indiana, recognizes The Miami Nation of Indians in Indiana and their Tribal Complex in downtown Peru, Indiana. We support the restoration of federal tribal recognition (illegally withdrawn in 1897) and encourage all to visit The Tribal Complex or its Facebook Page: [https://www.facebook.com/cranesnestmni facebook.com/cranesnestmni]. Also see: The Shawnee Tribal page at [https://www.shawnee-nsn.gov/ shawnee-nsn.gov] and the Miami Tribe of Oklahoma at [https://miamination.com/ miamination.com].

The enormous expense of the Winesburg, Indiana, Wiki could not be borne by the city's budget alone. According to the [[City Manager]], JerCom Industries charges exactly €41,365 per annum to host the Wiki. To defray costs, [[User:W.INwikiAdmin|W.INwikiAdmin]] begrudgingly added salesman to his ''multitudinous'' online responsibilities. The full list of sponsors is legally required to be a matter of public record and [[sponsors|may be found here]]. Fortunately, Sunheart Metalworks stepped up and covered all but €4 of the annual cost.

Welcome, gentle reader, to the modest home of Winesburg, Indiana, on the World Wide Web.

==History==
===The City of Winesburg, Indiana's Land Acknowledgement Statement===
The City of Winesburg is located within the traditional homelands of the [[w:Miami_people|Myaamia]] and [[w:Shawnee|Shawnee]] people, who along with other indigenous groups ceded these lands to the United States in the first Treaty of Greenville in 1795. The Miami people were forcibly removed from these homelands in 1846. Winesburg, Indiana, recognizes The Miami Nation of Indians in Indiana and their Tribal Complex in downtown Peru, Indiana. We support the restoration of federal tribal recognition (illegally withdrawn in 1897) and encourage all to visit The Tribal Complex or its Facebook Page: [https://www.facebook.com/cranesnestmni facebook.com/cranesnestmni]. Also see: The Shawnee Tribal page at [https://www.shawnee-nsn.gov/ shawnee-nsn.gov] and the Miami Tribe of Oklahoma at [https://miamination.com/ miamination.com].

==Geography==

[[File:The River Chelt - geograph.org.uk - 888125.jpg|thumb|At one point, the West Fork of the Fork River disappears underground only to emerge north of the city of Winesburg.]]
The West Fork of the Fork River brought early settlers to Winesburg, Indiana.

'''The Cloud Sump and Contrail Viewing Station''' is perhaps a quirk of topography, atmospheric conditions, proximity to the Great Lakes, glide paths of near-by municipal airfields, or residue from the pharmaceutical crop dusting aeroplanes that has generated these amazing displays of congested clouds aloft of the the town of Winesburg, Indiana.

The Viewing Station features a treetop-level platform with an array of coin-operated telescopes and nature trails from which to marvel at the contrails. The visitor's center prides itself on its five-hour video, narrated by WOWO's [[Rupert Heffelfinger|Rupert "Roop" Heffelfinger]], that explains the phenomenon.

Electric Power Grid Transformer Fires

[[File:CESC Transformer Caught Fire - GKW Area - Andul Road - Howrah 2016-03-28 2600.JPG|thumb|One of the many transformer fires that have become, sadly, a familiar though unexplained nightly occurrence.]]
[[File:Transformer down burnt district Breezy Sandy jeh.jpg|thumb|A transformer after its fire was extinguished by the Winesburg Fire Department.]]
Many of the electric step-down transformers of Winesburg, Indiana, inexplicably catch fire and cause power outages that the town's citizens find problematic.

The Creek Chub Bait Company

W.INwikiAdmin: added link to blind animals

[[File:Fishing lure.jpg|thumb|A fishing lure.]]
[[File:Baltimore and Ohio RR in 1961.jpg|thumb|The B&O Railroad line, including section through Garrett, Indiana.]]
'''The Creek Chub Bait Company''' was founded by Henry Dills, a conductor on [[w:Baltimore_and_Ohio_Railroad|the B&O]] up in Garrett, Indiana. This part of Indiana is a hotbed of lure and bait manufacturing. However, the only fishing is underground on the disappearing rivers and the cave lakes. Anglers fish for [[w:Blindness in animals|eyeless catfish]] in the dark.

Sadly, the B&O does not go through Winesburg. The [[w:Pennsylvania_Railroad|PRR]]'s famous [[w:Broadway_Limited|Broadway Limited]] roared through Winesburg even after Amtrak took over. It didn't stop. Winesburgians liked to throw stones at it as went through.

'''The Creek Chub Bait Company''' was founded by Henry Dills, a conductor on [[w:Baltimore_and_Ohio_Railroad|the B&O]] up in Garrett, Indiana. This part of Indiana is a hotbed of lure and bait manufacturing. However, the only fishing is underground on the disappearing rivers and the cave lakes. Anglers fish for eyeless catfish in the dark.

Sadly, the B&O does not go through Winesburg. The [[w:Pennsylvania_Railroad|PRR]]'s famous [[w:Broadway_Limited|Broadway Limited]] roared through Winesburg even after Amtrak took over. It didn't stop. Winesburgians liked to throw stones at it as went through.
