📰 In the news
Phased utility work ahead: Two-week water main repairs near E. Mason and Main in Green Bay are set to begin Monday, March 9. One lane will stay open, and no water outages are planned — see schedule and traffic impacts.
Third superintendent since 2020: Appleton school leader Michael Hernandez is a finalist to lead Green Bay schools, alongside Random Lake superintendent Michael Trimberger. The district is expected to announce its choice on March 11 — meet the two finalists.
Slide into a new sport: New to curling? Green Bay Curling Club is offering Learn 2 Curl lessons on stone handling, scoring, and strategy, plus a Try It League to test your skills — get all the details.
Nothing prepares you for a pet emergency: I learned that the hard way after charging $10k to a credit card for life-saving surgery on my cat, Miss Stache. As soon as we got home, I signed up for Spot. It’s super affordable – and reimburses up to 90% of the bill.
Compare rates for free: The national average for car insurance is around $175/month. Paying more than that? Same, so I did some shopping around and ended up cutting my premium in half. If you haven’t checked in a while, you’re probably overpaying too — here’s the comparison tool I used.
Highlights this week:

🏆 Gold and silver are heating up
Together with our sponsor American Hartford Gold
Gold just posted its strongest run in decades… and the momentum is carrying into 2026. Silver has become one of the most talked-about assets as investors look for ways to stay ahead of market volatility.
While many are still sitting on the sidelines, others are quietly repositioning.
If you’re wondering whether you’re missing something, AHG has a free guide explaining what’s driving the renewed interest… and how investors are approaching precious metals right now.
It’s free and worth reading before the next move.

🫶 We got your back
Weeknight noodle fix: PhoComa resets rough days with deeply comforting beef pho, crisp spring rolls, and a few pan-Asian curveballs like Mama’s Fried Ramen. It’s a low-key, slurp-happy hang where cozy hits fast and often, the sort of neighborhood staple you’ll crave on repeat.
Fresh fabric fix: My Favorite Quilt Shop keeps Green Bay stitchers stocked with quality fabrics, patterns, notions, thread, and fresh ideas. Their busy calendar of classes and events makes it simple to kick off something new, revive a stalled project, or finally bind that quilt you swore you’d finish.
Pancakes calling your name: Big, plate-size stacks, warm mugs, and cozy, no-fuss breakfast energy define The Pancake Place, a comfort fix that quietly resets the week. Coffee lingers, conversations stretch, and the griddle hums while someone else does the flipping, making morning feel easy again.
What doctors wish every 65+ adult had at home: Physicians call it “long-lie,” and it’s the real reason falls are so dangerous for older adults. It’s not a broken bone… it’s lying on the floor for hours waiting for someone to notice. We dug into the options that actually solve this problem, and one stood out. See which one →
