One of the few working drive-in theaters, the Apostle Island sea caves and John Dillinger’s hideout are among the attractions of northwest Wisconsin, but have you made it out to them? All of them? Dannell Gay has. She’s the author of “100 Things to Do in Wisconsin Before You Die” – and has actually visited 191. Gay joins “Simply Superior” host Robin Washington to share the highlights of her jaunts through our area.

Also, Dan Nelson has been lauded as a talented young jazz guitarist who’s recruited two veteran musicians to create the Dan Nelson Trio – or three for an occasional quartet. The three-member version joins Washington to showcase their distinctive interpretation of jazz standards that they bring to Twin Ports clubs.
