The boat named “The Minnow” for those who remember the Gilligan’s Island, has been stranded along the Lake Michigan shore near Bradford Beach since October 13, 2024. As of today, the vessel remains stuck. The boat is a safety hazard. I’m very concerned about the safety risks for citizens who come down here. They could slip on the rocks or potentially drown. It’s estimated that the cost of addressing the situation could exceed $100,000. Hazardous chemicals have been removed already.

Acts of offhand kindness. Unspoken support. An everyday voicemail. “It’s just me. Love ya. Bye.”That’s the voicemail that concludes “Apparition Premonition,” the opening track of Whitty Remarks‘ new Nary A Care LP. Whitty Remarks is Milwaukee musician Travis Whitty, joined by wife Ashlee and a host of local stars.
