📰 In the news
Softball showdown for a cause: Jordan Love and Micah Parsons will co-host the Green Bay Charity Softball Game June 5 at Fox Cities Stadium to benefit their charities. Tickets start at $20 — see seating and pricing details.
Major upgrade for first responders: Green Bay secured $5 million in federal funding for a west side fire station to replace nearly 90-year-old Station 3, part of a mixed-use project with 85 affordable housing units — get all the project details.
Design proposals taking shape: Two Rivers is pressing ahead on the former Hamilton site, with a public hearing and rezoning vote soon. UW-Green Bay students will develop three concepts from community input — see what’s planned next.
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:
|
💎 Local business spotlight
Save room for pie: Whether you’re team chocolate or team peanut butter, the Peanut Butter Pie at The Depot Green Bay vanishes fork by fork, especially inside the city’s historic train depot. Perfect for sharing with a friend… or keeping to yourself; either way, this creamy classic hits the sweet spot.
Freshly snipped joy: From a quick ‘thinking of you’ boost to a centerpiece that actually earns compliments, Petal Pusher designs artful arrangements, some grown right on their flower farm, so your message lands beautifully. Take this as a gentle nudge to brighten someone’s week… and maybe your own.
Chalk up this week: Odyssey Climbing + Fitness packs tall roped lines, playful boulders, and a low-pressure vibe that makes trying hard feel like hanging out. Great for quick after-work laps that stretch longer, or a weekend session that turns into “just one more go”… again.
These aren’t ads or sponsored placements, just some cool nearby spots we think are worth a visit.

🫶 We got your back
Your data is for sale right now: There are over 400 websites selling your info to marketers, political campaigns, and scammers. They’ve got your phone number, home address, relatives’ names… you name it. That’s how robocallers seem to know everything about you before you pick up. You can remove your info one site at a time, or pay a service to do it for you. Here’s what we recommend →
Why your last diet didn’t work: Sustained weight loss is nearly impossible with diet alone. Your body literally fights back by making you hungrier the moment you start restricting calories. That’s why more doctors are recommending GLP-1s. The best part? Getting them has never been easier. We compared three programs to help you find the right fit. See which ones stood out →
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 →
Thinning hair? It only gets worse: A few months ago, I noticed my ponytail getting thinner. I tried the usual stuff (biotin, shampoo, etc.) but mostly just hoped it would fix itself… until I learned that active follicles can permanently go dormant if you don’t do something about it. The good news? You can get treatment that actually works with no office visits or trips to the pharmacy. Check out my favorite online options →
