You won't believe what our neighbors are doing
Yeah so, you know how we've been getting hammered with all this rain, right? The Fox River's been looking like a chocolate milkshake, and places like New London and Shiocton have been hit hard. But here's the deal, the folks in Clintonville, they saw their neighbors struggling, and instead of just watching, they just started filling sandbags. Hundreds of 'em, for other towns, which is wild.
You betcha, the Wolf River is just swallowing up streets in Shiocton, and New London's got its own mess with postal service and natural gas disruptions. But Clintonville, they got a break from the worst of it, and their response was just to roll up their sleeves. It’s not just a few people either; it's practically the whole town showing up to help out folks they might not even know. That's just how we do things here in Wisconsin. You don't leave your neighbors high and dry, especially when the actual water is rising.
* **Community First:** This really shows that small-town mentality where everyone looks out for each other. It's that "we're all in this together" spirit you see at a Packers game, just, you know, with less cheese and more sand. * **Neighborly Love:** It's a reminder that even when the news is all doom and gloom about floods, there's always good happening, right down the road from us. * **Wisconsin Strong:** This kind of grit and generosity, it's what makes living up here, even through these wild weather swings, feel like home.
So here in Green Bay, whether you're down by the Neville Public Museum looking at the Fox River, or up enjoying a Kringle from Racine with your coffee, it’s good to remember that spirit of helping out. It’s what keeps this whole community humming, no matter what the weather throws at us.
Green Bay on the wire — cold hands, warm hearts, and Lombardis.
