Oakland Tribune Gives Door County a Shout

Door County got some press from the Oakland Tribune March 1 when columnist Ginny Prior sized up the peninsula as an off-the-radar retirement spot.

“An old-fashioned spirit of cooperation makes Door County seem, in some ways, frozen in time,” she writes. “And frozen doesn’t begin to describe the nippy conditions in winter, when locals celebrate their Scandinavian heritage by taking the Polar Bear plunge. Others don parkas and ear muffs for a day in their ice fishing shanties. Some huts are quite comfy with curtains on the windows and Naugahyde car seats for benches. And Green Bay has such clarity, you can actually see the fish swimming through holes that turn ice into Swiss cheese in winter.”
