📰 In the news
A fresh approach to enrichment: Mobius De Pere is now open, offering after-school and summer programs for Brown County kids in grades K-6 with themed rotations, schedules, and Free Fridays at the former Destiny Church — learn how it came together.
Local eatery earns top honor: Buck’s Bar & Grill in Pittsfield was named the Green Bay region’s best fish-fry spot in a Press-Gazette reader poll, owned by Justin and Katie Gaura — read the full story.
Expanded access for fans: Green Bay Rockers games will be on the radio, with all 70 airing on WNFL 99.7 and 101.9 FM starting May 25, opening on the road — get all the broadcast 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:
|
💎 Local business spotlight
Refill your art stash: The Art Garage makes it easy to refresh your supplies. Browse their Studio B Creative Reuse Shop for fresh-to-you materials, quirky surprises, and plenty of “I could make that” energy…ideal for jump-starting a stalled project or sparking inspiration without overthinking.
Backyard upgrade idea: If your patio season goal is “more hangouts, less splinters,” MP General Services builds and repairs decks in De Pere, from simple ground-level platforms to two- or three-story designs, so you can enjoy the thaw without wobble or worry. Thoughtful builds and clean finishes.
Seafood run, sorted: Blue Harbor Fish & Seafood keeps it simple with a legit spread, from Great Lakes whitefish to smoked salmon and freezer-friendly picks, no fuss required. Upgrade a weeknight fish fry or stock up before Friday sneaks in 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 →
Thinning hair? Don’t treat the wrong thing: When my ponytail started thinning, I tried the usual stuff (biotin, shampoo, sprays, etc.) and not one of them lasted. Turns out, most products target the strand, not the follicle… and that’s the whole problem. Once follicles go dormant, they need targeted help to come back. The good news? You can get treatment that actually works with no office visits or trips to the pharmacy. Learn about my favorites here →
Six figures you can’t spend: Most homeowners over 50 have spent years dutifully paying their mortgage, assuming the only time it’ll pay off is when they sell. I thought the same thing until I discovered you can tap into the equity you’ve earned whenever you want (without leaving your home). Overdue for a new roof? Want to build your dream bathroom? There are two ways to turn equity into usable cash →
