Let’s Go On Vacation
This week’s issue focuses on spring vacations and travel!!
Are virtual vacations really a thing? What about the importance of taking those vacation days? Take a break in NEWisco with a really cool Star Wars Memorabilia exhibit. This is the season to tap maple trees. And Musician Sam Ness gets help in songwriting from his travels.
We also have more serious stories on Diabetes Alert Day and the League of Women Voters expressing concern about what they see as an attack on democracy. Plus Pete Schwaba’s Classic Cinema pick of the week.
