It’s Friday, Green Bay! Let’s finish this week strong.
In today’s can’t-miss-weekend-plans edition: Elvis in concert, gold and silver’s rally, and someone Googled you this week + a stacked lineup of events this weekend.
Today’s sponsor (FinanceBuzz) built a free comparison tool that helped me cut my car insurance premiums in half. It took about 3 minutes, and honestly… I wish I’d done it sooner. If you haven’t shopped around in a while, you can easily check the best rates here.

📰 In the news
Inside a nonprofit provider: Bellin Home Health Agency in Green Bay was rated 3.75 out of 5 by U.S. News for quality of care and patient satisfaction, highlighting Medicare-certified services dating back to 1977 — see how ratings were determined.
Bumpy rides ahead locally: Pothole season is back in Green Bay today as the freeze-thaw cycle chews up streets, with Shawano Avenue and Main Street priorities and crews expecting more repairs than last year — learn what streets are prioritized.
Jewelry that celebrates inclusion: At Della Jewelry & Co., a Green Bay mom is turning style into advocacy with a new collection honoring Down syndrome. The shop is hosting Girl’s Night Out today — learn about the 3.11 collection.
Gold & silver are hot: Coming off gold’s best year since 1979, the momentum is carrying well into 2026 with silver remaining one of the most talked-about assets. Curious why they’re back in focus? American Hartford Gold has a free guide that explains what’s happening and how people are approaching it today. It’s free – and definitely worth a read.
Someone Googled you this week: Whether you’re dating again, selling something locally, or just meeting new neighbors… people are going to look you up. Like it or not, the internet has a way of surfacing past mistakes and outdated information that no longer reflects who you are. Thankfully, there’s a really easy way for you (or someone you care about) to clean up all that up – learn more here.
Highlights this week:

🚗 Are you quietly overpaying for car insurance?
Together with our sponsor FinanceBuzz
Auto insurance premiums have been climbing across the country… and most folks won’t notice until it’s time to renew and they’re hit with a higher bill.
The frustrating part? Loyalty rarely gets rewarded. Insurers adjust prices constantly, and new customers often qualify for better rates than long-time policyholders.
I learned that the hard way. I had the same policy for half a decade. Autopay was on, I saw the charges come in every month and never thought twice about them. Turns out I was paying well above the national average ($175/mo) for a single car… for years.
This free comparison tool lets you check rates from multiple insurers in just a few minutes. It costs nothing to look, and it could save you hundreds this year.

🫶 We got your back
Plant-based comfort, locally: When you need an easy lunch win or a no-fuss weekend treat, Kavarna Coffeehouse serves thoughtful plant-based picks like a tofu scrambler wrap, avocado toast, and rotating soups, alongside cozy vibes for catching up, knocking out tasks, or happily skipping the stove.
Go treasure hunting: At Wonderland Vintage Market, 60+ vendors dish up antiques, retro decor, and delightfully odd finds. Stock flips fast, so a casual browse could uncover the perfect mid‑century piece, offbeat wall art, or that long‑lost childhood collectible you didn’t know you were seeking.
A little sparkle therapy: From custom designs and on-the-spot permanent jewelry to watch and ring repairs, Diamonds & Gold keeps your favorites looking personal and polished, not mall-worn. A Green Bay staple since 1977, it delivers craftsmanship that lasts, with quick fixes, thoughtful upgrades, and pieces made to be lived in.
An emergency vet visit could cost you $7,000+ (ask me how I know 🙃). From the initial fee just to be seen to x-rays, surgery, medicine, and aftercare, it adds up quicker than a chew toy turns into a crime scene. The good news? You could get up to 90% cash back on your vet bill with this pet insurance plan.
