It wasn’t so long ago that you’d look east across the river at the old Younker’s building and see a tan, brick, lifeless wall. However, with recent upgrades on the watermark project the building finally has it’s impressive wall of windows.
A few photos from this past Saturday show that the building has come a long way and hopefully the next time I’m taking pictures of the building, people will be looking back at me from the other side of these windows.

Things are starting to take shape for the downtown Green Bay’s children museum. This shot I took on Saturday (4-14-12) shows the the exterior is starting to get color and I noticed several people working inside on setting up displays. The museum is supposedly opening this summer, but the ramp above it is already open.
I drove by about a week ago and don’t remember seeing the color, but it really makes quite a difference in bringing the building to life rather than an all gray, drab skin.

Alright, so they’re not exactly mobile, but they’re ready to be moved. If you drive past the corner of Velp and Military you’ll see several homes for sale that have been removed (I believe due to the Highway 41 construction).
The houses have been sitting there for at least a month, and I’m not sure how much they’ll last.
The for sale signs say to contact DeVooght House Movers at 920-217-0373
Quite possibly a great way to pick up a cheaper house if you’ve got a lot that’s ready for a foundation.

I’ve been born and raised in Green Bay, but have not been on every single street, road, and avenue the city holds. Near the intersection of 12th and 5th I discovered a pair of Quonset hut style houses that were creatively designed to become single family residences.
Pretty convenient if you always want to be prepared in a bomb shelter without having to go far!
I’m not sure about the actual square footage, but these definitely make for small houses.

The past winter has brought very little snow to Green Bay, but local businesses have to remain ready, just in case.
You’ll still see large loaders at many corporate headquarters and large businesses like the three loaders on the Corner of Holmgren and Pilgrim behind the Marcus Theater in Ashwaubenon.
I’m not sure how much it costs to rent these out per month, but I’ve been told it’s in the neighborhood of $3,000 each. It seems it’s money spent on insurance this year rather than results.
