We take a little break from politics with Community Editor Christina Lorey as we review a story about the restaurant chains we used to love but have gone away. What do you miss? Chi Chi’s? Burger Chef? Big Boy? Can’t forget the ice cream cake roll at Howard Johnson’s! Also: President Biden’s American Rescue Plan continues to bring new investments in Wisconsin, as Gov. Tony Evers announces 35 new grants for libraries and community centers—with an emphasis on bridging the digital divide so everyone has good access to an internet connection. And we visit with Dan Hagen from WJFW-TV in Rhinelander.
