Around the Corner with John McGivern | Program | Stevens Point (#707)
[Latest Airdate: May 31, 2018]
[Original Airdate: February 22, 2018]
When John said, Let's get straight to the point, we're so glad we took him literally because Stevens Point earned tons of brownie points! Everyone in this fabulous city pointed us to a great episode, and stayed on point throughout with their pointed remarks.
Point Brewery was an obvious (and great) choice, and you can't talk about Stevens Point without pointing out the trivia contest. But we are so glad when we can point to the not-so-obvious community stars, too. What do governors for dams, wheelchairs, potatoes, toys, tea, women's clothing, Father Fat's food, Iroquois raised beadwork and art paper have in common? Yep. All pointed out in this episode.
But it's pointless to continue with our list because after watching this episode, you will completely get the point. Stevens Point IS the point!

Around the Corner with John McGivern | Program | Caledonia & Wind Point (#709)
[Latest Airdate: June 21, 2018]
[Original Airdate: March 29, 2018]
So, Caledonia and Wind Point cover a lot of ground in southeast Wisconsin. This big area is home to big animals (like Libby's horses and Jo Don Farm's camels), and big companies (Norco, for one), big bugs (grown at the SC Johnson Institute of Insect Science for Family Health --- yikes!) and a big Wurlitzer organ (under a small house --- no kidding!).
It's also home to people with big talent (especially Bill Reid and Sherry Lou) and places of big beauty (the Wind Point Light House and The Prairie School, just to name a few). There's big fun to be had (surfing and kickball), and you can satisfy your big taste buds (at Sebastian's).
Yep. Caledonia and Wind Point are a big deal!

Around the Corner with John McGivern | Program | Eau Claire (#813)
[Original Airdate: April 4, 2019]
Eau Claire really IS the definition of renaissance. As John Gurda said, if you were familiar with this northwestern Wisconsin city 20 years ago, you’re not familiar with it now unless you live in Eau Claire!
The new Pablo Center for the Arts, lighted bridges and public art, many company headquarters and Phoenix Park have transformed downtown EC. Old foundational places that could never be replaced, like the Court’n House and the Paul Bunyan Logging Camp Museum, retain the roots of this city. And new things in old spaces, like the Lismore and Oxbow hotels, Banbury Place in the old Uniroyal plant, and tons of renovation on the UW-EC Campus prove a commitment to reinvestment and renovation.
This is a city infused with music, youthful energy, Kubb and tons of activity, all supported by investment and commitment. Eau Claire was the perfect place to finish our eighth season!

Paine Center
The Paine Art Center and Gardens is a historic estate with a mansion and gardens located in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. It includes public art galleries and botanic gardens on 3 acres, and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
History
The Paine Mansion was built for lumber baron Nathan Paine and his wife, Jessie Kimberly Paine. In 1925, upon the recommendation of Mary K. Shirk (Jessie's sister), the Paines commissioned Bryant Fleming, an architect from Ithaca, New York to design the estate. Construction of the Tudor Revival style mansion began in 1927 and the exterior was completed in 1930. All work was halted in 1932 as the Great Depression crippled the Paine Lumber Company.
The mansion was originally built as a home for the Paines but workers of the lumber company threatened to bomb the building should they move in. The Paines returned to the project in 1946 and established a non-profit organization to own and manage the estate for public benefit. Nathan Paine died in 1947 at the age of 77. Jessie oversaw remaining work on the estate, and the property opened to the public in 1948. Until Jessie’s death in 1973 at the age of 100, she served as the museum’s president while residing in La Jolla, California.
The Paines never lived in the house.
Features
The Paine estate features a historic house museum with art gallery, and is surrounded by extensive gardens.
The house contains French Barbizon school and American paintings, sculptures, and decorative woodworkings, Persian rugs, tapestries, and English and American silver and china. The Paine Center hosts changing exhibitions and offers educational programs related to historic architecture, art, and to nature.
The estate's landscape gardens have twenty 'outdoor rooms' and designed areas, in various historical—traditional and contemporary themes. They feature thousands of different plant species, serving as a botanical garden.
The Paine Art Center and Gardens are at 1410 Algoma Boulevard in Oshkosh. It is open Tuesday-Sunday throughout the year, and an admission fee is charged.

Timms Hill, Wisconsin High Point, Wooden Lookout Tower
Timms Hill at 1,951.5 ft (595 m) elevation is the highest natural point in Wisconsin and it is the only high point located within a county park. The cloud limited the visibility from the tower. It is a very limited view above the tree line and a good view of the old steel radio tower right next to the wooden tower
Around the Corner with John McGivern | Program | New Glarus (#805)
[Original Airdate: January 31, 2019]
It doesn’t take long to figure out the heritage of New Glarus. If the Swiss flags or the edelweiss at Brenda’s Blumenladen don’t give it away, the Alpine architecture and the brown Swiss cows all over town sure will! You know that people are proud when they name their organizations after the city. That’s just what New Glarus Brewing Company, New Glarus Welding, New Glarus Kinderchor and the New Glarus Hotel Restaurant did, which made them really easy for John to find. And he was happy to be “Swissified” by Chef Roland Furst, cultural expert Peter Etter and Swiss shop owner Esther Zgraggen. He was surprised when he was asked to milk the animals at the Voegeli and Lucky Dog farms, but at least he was good at it! John may never get to the original Glarus in Switzerland, but who cares? New Glarus is better anyway!

(FOR THE FIRST TIME THIS EXCITING TIME DIVER WILL 'TO ME AND AT THE SAME TIME WILL BE RESUMED' PROJECTED ON A SCREEN ON THE BEACH FURNISHED TO GIVE THE OPPORTUNITY 'TO NOT EVEN UNDERWATER TO PARTICIPATE IN A DEPOSITION OF CORONA). After returning the priest will celebrate a Mass in suffrage of those who died at sea and the sea have dedicated their lives. The ceremony ends with the sound of bells.
Video di Vittorio Innocente - La statua bronzea del Cristo degli abissi è stata posizionata nella baia di S.Fruttuoso di Camogli (Genova) a 17 metri di profondità nell'agosto del 1954. La cerimonia di sabato 27 luglio 2013, avrà inizio alle 21.30 circa al suono delle campane. Si spegnerà l'illuminazione elettrica e nel borgo resterà solo la luce delle candele. Dal piazzale dell'abbazia partirà una processione che giungerà alla spiaggia, dove il sacerdote salirà su un'imbarcazione per dirigersi verso il mare aperto, seguito da una processione di subacquei con fiaccole e natanti a remi. Dopo la benedizione delle acque, nuclei sommozzatori di Corpi dello Stato porteranno sul fondale alla base della statua una corona di alloro. (PER LA PRIMA VOLTA QUESTO EMOZIONANTE MOMENTO SUBACQUEO VERRA' DA ME RIPRESO E CONTEMPORANEAMENTE VERRA' PROIETTATO SU DI UNO SCHERMO ALLESTITO SULLA SPIAGGIA PER DARE LA POSSIBILITA' ANCHE AI NON SUBACQUEI DI PARTECIPARE ALLA DEPOSIZIONE DELLA CORONA). Al rientro il sacerdote celebrerà una Santa Messa in suffraggio di quanti sono morti in mare ed al mare hanno dedicato la vita. La cerimonia si conclude con il suono delle campane.
Around the Corner with John McGivern | Program | Wausau (#308)
[Latest Airdate: June 29, 2017]
[Original Airdate: February 27, 2014]
Wausau is our first half-and-half community -- we shot half of the episode in the winter when it was zero degrees, and the other half in the summer when it was 100! But with extreme temperatures came extreme fun.
John didn't know of the many things there are to do in Wausau that start with snow. You can tube, board, shoe, sculpt, mobile, ball and cone (think about it...). And then there's ice -- skate, fish, race, curl and cream (that one was easier). And of course in summer, when all that melts, you have rushing waters perfect for kayaking and a mountain (well, a big hill really) perfect for hiking, biking and exploring.
But we didn't stay outside for the whole episode. It's comfortable year round at Carmelo's Supper Club, the Woodside Art Museum, Bull Falls Brewery, The Grand Theatre and Back When Café.
This episode has the distinction of being the most heavily McGiverned episode yet -- it's just about bursting with McGiverns!

Around the Corner with John McGivern | Program | Stoughton (#605)
[Latest Airdate: October 26, 2017]
[Original Airdate: February 2, 2017]
If Norway is on your travel list but not in your budget, start with Stoughton! This idyllic Dane County Wisconsin gem wins the award for most ethnic joy. While Stoughton celebrates its Norwegian roots, there's also plenty to do and see that doesn't require you know how to pronounce Syttende Mai. Now John knows that Naugahyde is a made here by a company that everyone thinks makes tires. He knows that Lutefisk, when prepared correctly by the Hanson brothers, is delicious! And he knows that if this TV thing doesn't work out, he could take up rosemaling. Watch, and you'll know why Stoughton should be on your travel list for its own sake! (But if you come and only see the creepy statue of the Norwegian troll lady with the giant feet and rolling pin down by the river, or the remote controlled, smoke-expelling dragon at the Viking Pub, your trip would be worth it --- honest!)
