Around the Corner with John McGivern
Episode 5 - Sheboygan
Join Emmy Award-winning actor John McGivern as he explores what it's like to live, work and play in different communities in Southeastern Wisconsin.
This week we head north on I-43 to explore Sheboygan. Did you know that you can surf, go the theater, shop the oldest hardware store in Wisconsin, learn about Hmong culture, the history of Sheboygan and eat the most delicious hard rolls in the state all with about three miles? John Gurda starts off on the lakefront, and it’s a short trip to great destinations like the Kohler Art Center, the Blue Harbor and Bookworm Gardens. Mix in a little Frisbee golf (oops, sorry – we mean Disc Golf!) and terrific employers like Acuity and Torke Coffee, add an outstanding Riverfront, and top it all off with fantastic cuisine or a mouthwatering Sheboygan classic - a double Brat . John describes Sheboygan as “comfortable,” and you’ll soon agree!
