What happens at Billy Mitchell stays at Billy Mitchell
If anyone knows about what is and what isn’t working at General Mitchell International Airport, it’s Barry Bateman, director of the facility. However, if you expect Bateman to publicly express his complete viewpoints on the good, the bad and the ugly of ol’ Billy Mitchell, you best wait for the next flight out of town.

Goldmann's corners the market on quirky
Wisconsin's oldest department store recently celebrated its 106th birthday. Although the eclectic stock changes regularly, the building itself -- as well as many of the employees -- remains the same.

It's all about luck. Don't expect your size to be there or see that fashion on a glossy magazine spread next (or even last) month. If you can incorporate patience and diligence into your shopping trip you will likely unearth a bargain.
