During a recent trip to Wisconsin in early April, I discovered the region's unique charm, despite its winter-like conditions. While the beaches of Lake Michigan remained inaccessible due to snow, the bars buzzed with lively conversation. Locals openly discussed their passion for brandy and the impending NFL draft in Green Bay. The upcoming event captured significant attention, dominating regional media and serving as a welcome distraction from economic turmoil. Driving through suburban streets towards Lambeau Field, I experienced the juxtaposition of industry and community spirit, highlighting the state's character amid ongoing challenges.
The upcoming draft was the perfect way to avoid dismay at the collapse of the global markets.
From the wall-to-wall coverage on regional TV, you would have assumed that nothing was more important to the US economy right now than the price and availability of rooms in Ashwaubenon.
The city of Green Bay's young, bespectacled marketing director got more airtime than Katy Perry doing space.
Many of my fellow drinkers were keen to point out that they were responsible for nearly all the brandy sold in the US.
