Hard to believe I’ve been writing the twice-monthly Streetwise newsletter for just more than three years now. If you haven’t signed up for this little nugget yet, what are you waiting for?
This email newsletter highlights the latest business news in Manitowoc, Two Rivers and throughout Manitowoc County
I’ve loved gathering business news and tidbits from the lakeshore area — for nearly a decade now — and sharing them with you
My goal has always been to help answer the big questions: What’s opening? What’s closing? Where can I find the best hand-tossed pizza? And, lest we forget, when is anything going to happen with the old mall site near Lake Michigan? The answer is finally: construction
Folks like to say Manitowoc is a hidden gem — and I agree
But maybe we can make it a little less hidden
