Rock County content creator is bringing back the joy of waiting for the mail with her Midwest Mail Club

JANESVILLE — Today's world is as fast-paced as it's ever been. Nearly everything people want or need is just a few clicks away. But one Rock County content creator is hoping to bring back the excitement of checking the mail. Not email, but the kind that shows up in a box near the road. Morgan Geyer has built an online following through her creative projects and nostalgic content. She recently launched a monthly mail club that delivers a collection of vintage-inspired items, recipes, newspaper clippings and other surprises directly to subscribers. “I feel like people, especially right now, are just itching for nostalgia,” Geyer said. “I feel like people are just missing the physical aspect of things.” Geyer began creating content about four years ago after the COVID-19 pandemic prompted her to stay home with her young children. A longtime creative, she began sharing videos of the crafts and projects she was working on. As people began responding to her content, the hobby gradually developed into a career. Although she shares a variety of projects online, Geyer said nostalgia has become the focus of her content over the past two years. The idea for the Midwest Mail Club came from

Milton focusing on connectivity, safety in new parks plan

MILTON — In its new five-year outdoor recreation plan, the City of Milton is prioritizing connectivity, accessibility, safety and repairs. The proposed plan will be reviewed by the city’s Plan Commission and Common Council this Wednesday for approval. City Administrator Paul Hensch said the plan is crucial because it not only provides a roadmap for future park investments, but it helps the city prioritize limited funding and makes it eligible for state and federal grants. “Connectivity was one of the strongest themes we heard from residents,” Hensch said. “People want to be able to move more easily between their neighborhoods, parks, schools and other destinations.” The city hopes to preserve attractive areas for eventual park or recreational purposes, provide parks within walking distance of all new residential areas, emphasize family-oriented facilities within the parks, coordinate with area partners to provide services to residents via parks when possible and encourage expansion of county parks and recreational facilities in the Milton area. The work started in 2024 through public meetings and surveys, which were incorporated into the plan proposal. City staff also evaluated parks and had discussions with the Parks and Recreation Commission. As part of safety, accessibility and repairs, the city
