Hey Green Bay 🍂🎭

Hope you're having a spooky-good week! Can you believe it's already Halloween? I swear, I blinked, and suddenly there are jack-o'-lanterns everywhere, and my neighbors have turned their front yards into full-on haunted graveyards (seriously impressive commitment, folks).

Whether you're planning to dress up, hand out candy, binge scary movies, or just use it as an excuse to eat your weight in chocolate (no judgment here), I hope you're finding little pockets of fun in the chaos.

I've got some treats lined up for you this week, no tricks, I promise! Well... maybe just a little one. 😉

Let's dive in!

✨ Cool people. Cool stories. Cool city. 😎

A big thank you to everyone who has trusted us with their updates for this week’s edition.
You’re the heartbeat of this newsletter, and we love getting to spotlight what makes Green Bay shine. 💛

💡 Got an idea? Let’s make it happen together.

Green Bay officials are reviewing new rules for short-term rentals, such as Airbnbs and vacation stays, aimed at balancing affordable housing with the city’s thriving tourism scene. The proposal includes limits on noise and parking, as well as a possible seven-night minimum stay.

Some local hosts worry it could hurt game-day visitors (we all know those Lambeau weekends ), while others say it’s a step toward keeping housing within reach for families.

The Green & Gold are on a roll! 💚💛 The Packers notched their third straight win, marking their best streak of the season. Jordan Love grabbed NFC Offensive Player of the Week, and the team’s eyeing another home victory post-Halloween. 🎃🏠

Momentum’s building in Titletown, and we, the fans, are lovin’ it. 🙌

The Oscar Mayer Wienermobile is cruising through Green Bay this week, and it’s serving up smiles everywhere it goes. The 27-foot hot dog on wheels is stopping at local events, libraries, and markets — handing out classic Wiener Whistles and plenty of nostalgia along the way.

It’s one of those feel-good sights that makes you grin and think, “Only in Wisconsin.” 💛

A new era for downtown living is taking shape! Developers and city officials recently marked a milestone in the construction of a 268-unit, $77 million apartment project rising in the heart of Green Bay.

Led by New Land Enterprises and Stevens Construction, the team celebrated a topping off ceremony on the building’s third-floor roof, signaling completion of its main structural phase less than a year after breaking ground in December 2024.

This eight-story mixed-use building is set to bring more housing, energy, and foot traffic to the downtown core, another big step forward in Green Bay’s urban revitalization. 🌆

Where tattooing meets healing, artist Paige Berg of Ink Shrink Tattoo has opened The Darling Collective at 233 S. Erie St., De Pere, a first-of-its-kind studio focused on trauma-informed tattooing.

With a background in mental health counseling, Paige designed this space to help clients feel safe, respected, and empowered as they turn their stories into art.

🗓️ Grand Opening: Saturday, Nov. 1 | 11 AM – 6 PM

A truly inspiring mix of creativity, courage, and care, right here in De Pere. 💛

➡️ Wednesday, Nov 5 | 3–6 PM – 1300 & 1308 East Walnut Street
➡️ Wednesday, Nov 12 | 3–6 PM – 418 & 422 4th Street

💬 “There are not enough homes available, especially in price ranges for families in our community,” said Marina Delbecchi, Director of the Homeownership Center at NeighborWorks Green Bay. “We’re excited to see a new build in this price range, and when we pair it with down payment assistance, we can really make a difference.”

🌟 This initiative helps address the ongoing seller’s market and limited housing inventory, creating more stable, long-term homeownership opportunities for local families.
