Around the Corner with John McGivern: Door County’s Quiet Side
March 2019
Quiet must be a relative term since the Lake Michigan side of Door County was pretty loud and active when John was there in October of 2018. Then again, maybe it was John who was loud and active! … And just so you know, not even one of the people he met was quiet about how much they love living, working and playing in this area of Door County.
