1st episode of haunted Wisconsin last week was great. I was really looking forward to this week's episode; however, half way through I wanted to shut it off. I think you spent 5 minutes on unsolved mysteries, then the next 40 minutes spent on nothing related to haunted Wisconsin. Spend more time diving into the details and research about your state's haunted places, stories, unsolved mysteries or come up with a different name for the episode.
Love taking the scooter down Snake Rd. I try to do it weekly.
Y'all missed the Hillsboro Drive In! No roller skates, but we do have the car window trays. It is also just a hop and a skip away from some of the best canoeing in the state. The Hillsboro Drive In offered me the absolute best first job ever. It was recently bought by a young entrepreneur that has already made so many improvements, and continues to offer a great learning experience for new employees. Check it out!
