Sally, I'm actually from Manitowoc (I'm sure you heard of that place), but my mom (1920-2012) was from TR. At 00:19 you show a snatch of what was my grandfather's mom and pop grocery store on East St..: Mom grew up above it. It was on the near side of the Tavern with the Green and Gold trim. The tattoo parlor downtown in ca. 1939-40 was a lunch counter which my Manitowoc dad ran and where he met my mom. Mom passed the place on her way between the "Red Bank" and the "White Bank" where she made deposits from a financial company where she worked after she graduated from Washington High School. I have several cousins who grew up in TR. Though I never lived in TR except for sometimes when mom and I were shuttle between relatives when dad served in the WW II Army, I spent parts of summers in the early 1950s there. I moved from the area for work after graduating from the UW in 1964 and live outside Washington DC. In Manitowoc, a favorite activity during my high school years was to park at the various beaches and "watch the submarine races." Was that done in TR in your days there??? LOL It was theoretically possible as Naval Reserve units did have some submarines on the lake. It was hard to see the races through steamed-up car window!
@smartysmarty1714 Our usual Sub spotting venue when in High School (Lincoln) was about where the current Manitowoc Marina is now. We would sometimes have a friendly tap on the car windows from Manitowoc's finest to remind us to turn on the defrosters to clear the car windows before we drove off - The better to see the road. We started dating when she was 15 and I was 16. We got married when we both had graduated from the UW and were married for almost 53 years until her passing five years ago.
@@jonteske4267 --- I'm sorry for your loss John. But 53 years together is commendable, and you were fortunate enough to have been together all your adult lives. That was an amazing gift! And aside from that, I do remember the friendly tap on the window a time or two myself, but I was down in the Waukesha area. These days, we'd probably get hauled out and tazed...at least in some instances!
What a fun video! I haven't seen much of Wisconsin and I have lived here my entire life! I'm a homebody and have never enjoyed traveling, but I do like to watch other people on their adventures. Kind of makes me feel like I've been there. Two Rivers is a beautiful place! Thanks, Sally and Marty!
Your timing of posting this was perfect! I’d just walked in from having a couple beers with my best friend and needed 30 minutes chill time before bed and what better way to spend that than with you and Marty! Same age growing up in lakeside cities just different lake this is a fantastic video my friend. Oregon, Ohio on the shore of Lake Erie just east of Toledo is known for its lake breezes too. Those “what used to be where” conversations with old friends are fantastic! I want to visit Two Rivers after watching this!
If the picture of the 'Yearbook signing' shows both Marty and Sally sitting on the wall - then I know what Marty misses most about Two Rivers. -- It's his hair. Marty - Sally -- when you asked the question - "DO you have an idea why they call this city the coolest place in Wisconsin?" - My first thought was "Because Sally and Marty come from there" Of course I'm right - because everyone that knows me knows - I am always correct.
Phil Rohrer's Lunch, "7 hamburgers for a dollar" turned into 6 for a dollar as I got older. I begged my Dad to stop on our way to visit relatives in Milwaukee and one time he actually did. Located just up from the East Twin River on the south side of the street in the 60's.
I also took a city bus to Manitowac to go to Walmart. I’m hoping you cover Ss badger, the maritime museum. I walked up next to one of the ships that was docked with grains for making your favorite brew, huge !!!
Nice to see Mocha keeping Marty on a short leash😂 But, seriously, you mentioned NESCO, they must have had an assembly plant in TwoRivers back in the day? Lotsa small towns, especially throughout the midwest, used to have manufacturing jobs, kinda like the town's big employer. NESCO was big in Granite City, IL but, alas, those jobs dried up and were exported back in the 80s and 90s.😢
As a teen who is currently growing up in Manitowoc, I would of never guess what history Two Rivers had! My great grandfather was a Two Rivers resident and before he died told some stories about the downtown area of the city. Even being a teen, I have seen alot change in Two Rivers in the past few years. It's sad since Manitowoc has more people but some how still can't keep family business and other things open. The community is alot more connected I feel in Two Rivers. Nice video and very informative!
Commuters from western Wisconsin to the Twin Cities took issue with Governor Rudy Perpich's " Welcome to Minnesota the Brainpower State " signs on I-94.
Sure looks like a great little city, Looks like you could spend a whole lot of time remencing about your home town. Looks like the fun time's were there for sure, Really enjoy your adventures keep up the good work.
Got a nuc power plant just up the road also. Been through town and had lunch there but I do not remember going to the beach, I should do that some day. You grew up in the big city. Stay safe and healthy.
5:22 what is the concrete bunker behind the rock pile? What are piles of Ill lives on the beach? If I was going to live in the frozen wasteland of death called wisconsin, it would definitely have to be in the coolest city in Wisconsin.
You have won My 😁🥰❤️🙏🏼🥳 i am from LOOZiANA & Did “self-touriN” lol, iN Two Rivers! & having done that, i actually recognize the thingz iN The Video!! & ps. i am going onA field trip soon tA have an ice cream Sunday!! Hahaha Thank You for this.. i ❤ iT! 😁🙏🏼🥳
That's my home town, too! T'Rivers, WI Connie's just isn't the same as Phil Raur's, and I miss Ethnic Fest and going to the Washington House every other weekend! The Kite Festival, the fish fries! Spent A LOT of time at Stan's Marina because my Uncle Vern was good buddies with Stan.
When visiting Two Rivers a number of years ago, we stopped for lunch at a local cafe. The locals insisted I try the “raw fries” with my sandwich. They spiral cut a raw potato, fried it and smothered it with brown gravy. Dinner was out of the question. Wonder if you guys remember those. Thanks for your channel. It is very enjoyable.
I enjoyed seeing this episode., I’m putting it on my bucket list. I really enjoy the channel.. can you please do one from Lodi . My wife was born there . Very, very long time ago.
Being from two rivers I was surprised you didn’t bring up charleton hestons wife Lydia was born and raised there. They also used to make a trip back there. If I remember correctly it was the ice cream place that you went into. There was also a dance hall up stairs in that building that they would come back and dance at. That’s what one of the old timers told me when we were living in two rivers
Grew up in Trivers. It has changed a lot since I left to join the Navy back in 1976. Been back a few times, still have friends and family live there. Thanks for the video.
Just wanted you to know that I enjoyed watching this video. My family is originally from Chicago and my grandparents used to take my mom and uncle to Door County. My uncle later bought a summer home in Door County. Having driven thru Two Rivers while going up to Door county. Very beautiful place.
This was so fun to watch. I haven’t been to Two Rivers for a long time and the beach areas were always my favorite. I love it when you cover our great state of Wisconsin! I’ve never lived anywhere else and have no desire to either❤
Two Rivers appropriately names for sure. Point Beach State Park looks nice ! So my question is answered, you really grew up in the city. Rock City is really a cool area to hang out. Love the story behind it! Love your story of parent's Escort 😂! Definitely love the Two Rivers Beach by the Lake. The snack shack by the beach reminds of my child hood. Birthplace of the Ice Cream Sundae in 1881 at Berner's Ice Cream Parlor is interesting! You love your Ice cream don't you😊! Love Frank Lloyd Wright and th we homes he designed. That Egyptian style crypt is definitely fascinating 👏!! Schroeders store is fantastic. Manufacturing seemed to be part of a lot early history of small towns. So many things seem to change. Might be a good plan for the city center. Being a retired pharmacist, love seeing signs of a long gone pharmacy. Sad to see developments going up where some old places were during your childhood. It makes sense that a town on the river would depend on fishing industry! Glad Marty pointed out the Ww2 drone. I love that blue green house and it's architecture that you shown very quickly. Really enjoyed this video!
Adam The Woo mentioned you in his video today,(6/27) an airwolfe desert filming location mention. I'm glad he did. I look forward to looking watching more.
Did he really? Wow 🤩 that’s pretty cool, I’m gonna have to check out his video. Thank you for mentioning it. I’m glad you came and checked out my channel, too!
HELLO! from across the big lake, Traverse City. I'm enjoying your small town travel logs. I lived in small towns my whole life and my last job was in township government and local fire departments for 47 years and was the Chief in the last one for 30 years. We are retired and have relatives in Marathon County, and they invited us to come live with them. We did not have children, we helped raise these kids, now adults and they wanted to pay us back for keeping them in school clothes and taking them on vacations to the UP and being a good example I guess. So Sally & Marty you have been our travel guides to our new home. Tip for Marty man of few words but right to the point, RUclips Sterling Sirens the are a horizontal drive with two impellers. Thank you for your efforts and maybe we will see you on the road.
What's a ice cream saturaday? Mabe its bubble gum flavored mash-mellow strawberry banana with butter scotch topping only sevrved on saturaday only? Just kidding.. Oh how I love ice cream.
Awesome! I was hoping you would cover it. Did they paint over the mural on the water tower that our paint crew did? I visited inside the ice cream shop. It also had antiques in it. I remember seeing something about a movie star or his wife growing up there cause there was a few collectibles from them. Also there was a dance hall upstairs and an old barber shop. I walked down to that beach to go swimming. Also remember eating at a crawfish boil they had near that fishing area/museum. They also pulled large ice blocks from the water there. (Saw pictures) We were only there one summer. I believe it was around 2009.
Sally, I know it's politically correct these days to say "Native American word", rather than identifying the actual tribe. Nevertheless, I'm guessing that since there's a reservation just outside Green Bay which is an Oneida (oh-NIGH-duh) Res., I'm guessing the original name was an Oneida word, right?
I was in Two Rivers in June 2022 to visit the Hamilton press facility. I passed a Family Dollar store and saw a car in the parking lot covered in Green Bay Packer stickers, all different. I had to snap a photo. Three towns I am familiar with that have changed very little in the past several decades are Cedarburg, Whitefish Bay and Shorewood. Waupaca is a small town well worth a visit. The downtown has been improved and the near by chain of lakes are a spectacular place to enjoy.
Talk about growing up in a "small" town... my hometown in East Central Minnesota had a whopping population of 2500. It was a great place to grow up but I moved away when I was in my early 20's and have basically never looked back. Ive been living the good life in Florida for several years now and could never imagine living in the Midwest again.
I happened to vacationed in your home town just a few weeks ago. It was my first visit. I stayed 5 days along with my Wife and three Grandchildren to enjoy the beach. I was not disappointed. The people that live there in two rivers were just so nice and friendly. I love the shores of the Great Lakes!❤
Hi Sally. My wife and I had taken our Harley across on the Badger from Ludington to Manitowoc. Got lucky enough to be there for the air show over the Bay. Also, there was a huge motorcycle rally just north of Green Bay. We had a great time.
Some years ago, I toured Hamilton Co. and the Nuclear Power Plant. At that time, tours were right inside and you got a great explanation of how power was generated from nuclear fusion boiling water to drive a steam generator then dumping the condensation into Lake Michigan. Warm water attracted lots of fish and mussels.
Ive lived 10 minutes south in Manitowoc my whole life. The store i miss the most in TR is Evan's. As a kid walking down to the basement it opened up into one of the best toy stores a child could ask for. Its a neat thrift store now and the basement is used for about half the year as a Christmas accessories haven. I think the best edition to the town in recent years has been Heroes Venture Arcade. It has anything from classics like Pac-Man and Centipede to alot of the newer games. Great place. And if you want a pizza TR is the place to go. Between Port Sandy Bay and The Waverly they have the best pizzas in the area by far. Thanks for the tour. Well done.
That was amazing and Marty great lakes naval base use to shoot drones down for practice and Schroeder's was a great store thank you for sharing this with us awesome content 👍👍😊

What if they filmed that '70's Show in Texas??? Lol
Well... if you really want to know check out my latest video. I figured this question deserved an answer 😉 ruclips.net/video/oJ4I8wrOmJI/видео.html
Thank you Sally and Marty! What a great tour of your old stomping grounds.
Phil Rohrer's Lunch, "7 hamburgers for a dollar" turned into 6 for a dollar as I got older. I begged my Dad to stop on our way to visit relatives in Milwaukee and one time he actually did. Located just up from the East Twin River on the south side of the street in the 60's.

I am surprised that Two Rivers doesn't have a giant statue of Sight Seeing Sally!!!!!! Great video!!!
hahaha I'm pretty sure most people there don't even know I'm on RUclips but thank you!
Seems ironic that parks all over took out those great giant slides for safety, but put in cement skate parks. 🙃
My favorite place in TR was Port Sandy Bay, though technically not in the city limits
Port Sandy Bay definitely deserves a mention. I forgot all about their fabulous coaster sized pizzas!!!
That's not very far from Avery's Auto Salvage.

What a cool town! I always enjoy watching your videos. Hi to you, Sally, and Marty.😊❤
It was fascinating. Awesome story marty.
Commuters from western Wisconsin to the Twin Cities took issue with Governor Rudy Perpich's " Welcome to Minnesota the Brainpower State " signs on I-94.
When you were talking about the drone you were standing in front of "The Shed".
Also, the white building across the street on the corner used to be Gauthiers meat market, pronounced Gokie's
I found the story of doing burnouts with a 4-cylinder escort quite amazing. Must have been close to red line when you popped the clutch.
Sure looks like a great little city, Looks like you could spend a whole lot of time remencing about your home town. Looks like the fun time's were there for sure, Really enjoy your adventures keep up the good work.

Excellent questions! You can find the answers here in my latest video ruclips.net/video/oJ4I8wrOmJI/видео.html
you had to be like seveteen years old in 1962 to enjoy the peak car culture years, you guys only missed by about 25 years.
Very cool, thanks for tuning in from halfway around the globe!
Wonderful to see your home town, Frank Lloyd Wright house and the beautiful lake. Thanks to you both, Lynn & Steve
Our pleasure! Glad you enjoyed it 😁
You have won My 😁🥰❤️🙏🏼🥳 i am from LOOZiANA & Did “self-touriN” lol, iN Two Rivers! & having done that, i actually recognize the thingz iN The Video!! & ps. i am going onA field trip soon tA have an ice cream Sunday!! Hahaha Thank You for this.. i ❤ iT! 😁🙏🏼🥳

Tripped on mushrooms down the way at kohler state park in 1980......sneakers n shades forever
I love Wisconsin
Great video. I live in TR, and love it. Best place to live in the midwest, but keep it a secret. We don't want people moving here.
Thanks for another cool video 🐾
My hometown is unrecognizable after 50 yrs. 🥺
Thanks Sally! Thanks Marty!
🤠👍
You're quite welcome 😉😁
Sally, I'm a Sheboyganitte. Love your channel. Best regards to you and Marty.
Everybody 's home town has seen changes. My hometown is Waukegan IL., also on Lake Michigan. It is currently mostly Mexican.
I would have liked to have seen the houses you and Marty grew up in and the schools you both attended. Have you known Marty since childhood?
Another great city with history to visit is River Falls, WI. Just a recommendation.
i moce to trivers in 06 ,though im not native but will never leave
It's a beautiful little city. Never thought I would want to go to Wisconsin but I would love to go to two rivers
I've walked those beaches, very nice. Some relatives lived there back in the day.

Sorry I appreciate all u have done to make our tc cool! 😎
Você é maravilhosa ❤❤
Hey can you take us on a ferry
Ah grasshopper, the answer you seekest most can be found in this video: ruclips.net/video/oJ4I8wrOmJI/видео.html
Loved the video!
You & Marty are great tour guides!!
I love reminisce videos!
Safe travels!
🙂👍❤️❤️
Thanks Bonnie! Going back really sparked a lot of memories. Glad you enjoyed hearing the ones we shared.
What's a ice cream saturaday? Mabe its bubble gum flavored mash-mellow strawberry banana with butter scotch topping only sevrved on saturaday only? Just kidding.. Oh how I love ice cream.
Hahaha I love it! Although can I get mine without the bubble gum flavor please? 😁
Awesome! I was hoping you would cover it. Did they paint over the mural on the water tower that our paint crew did?
I visited inside the ice cream shop. It also had antiques in it. I remember seeing something about a movie star or his wife growing up there cause there was a few collectibles from them. Also there was a dance hall upstairs and an old barber shop.
I walked down to that beach to go swimming.
Also remember eating at a crawfish boil they had near that fishing area/museum. They also pulled large ice blocks from the water there. (Saw pictures)
We were only there one summer. I believe it was around 2009.
Hey @MidwestMamasAdventures I ended up featuring your question in my latest video:ruclips.net/video/oJ4I8wrOmJI/видео.html
Thank you darlin’ 😘
The movie star was Charlton Heston, who married a local woman. There is a middle school named after her father.
Nice video Sally. I haven't really been down that way since the Plant shut down but I could go for a good bier about now. Is Krutz's still open?
Thanks! Yes, Kurtz’s is still open. Cheers 🍻
I just took a bike ride through two rivers
Just went to that beach today with my grandson and granddaughter and my family from Tennessee ❤. My mom and stepdad love Two Rivers WI
"Just ask Marty?" YES YES YES YES YES!
Doug and Pam
Belen, New Mexico U.S.A.
Yes, they still have the fireworks at Walsh Field.
Sally, I know it's politically correct these days to say "Native American word", rather than identifying the actual tribe.

Pretty cool ❤️🇺🇸Wisconsin
Otherwise known as T'rivers.
I happened to vacationed in your home town just a few weeks ago. It was my first visit. I stayed 5 days along with my Wife and three Grandchildren to enjoy the beach. I was not disappointed. The people that live there in two rivers were just so nice and friendly. I love the shores of the Great Lakes!❤

You’ve got to make a video about Gresham, Wisconsin. Beautiful there. Specifically where Captain’s Cove is.

At that time, tours were right inside and you got a great explanation of how power was generated from nuclear fusion boiling water to drive a steam generator then dumping the condensation into Lake Michigan.

Cool!! My Mom grew up in Monroe 😃 Swiss cheese and Swiss culture, America's Little Switzerland 🇨🇭
Looks like a good place to be from.
Grew up on the North End of Trivers.
Oh yes! The good side of town 😉
lol I also grew up on the north end of TR
43rd st.@@markisherwood-tj4uo
'Just Ask Marty' - Yes Please. His wisdom, shared with the world, will make lives better for all. Gandhi would be jealous.
I believe the late great Jim Kreuger was from there. He wrote the song We Just Disagree and was an amazing guitar player who played with Dave Mason
Actually Jim Krueger was from Manitowoc, 7 miles south of Two Rivers. He was in my high school graduation class, Lincoln HS, class of 67
Great song! And I just learned something new.
Hi Sally just to let you know back in the 80s and the 90s Hardee's kids meals were called silly sacks. Thanks for your hard work on your videos.
Oh thank you! Silly sacks… something about that makes me want to laugh 😂
We always knew it as "Carptown"
Ive lived 10 minutes south in Manitowoc my whole life. The store i miss the most in TR is Evan's. As a kid walking down to the basement it opened up into one of the best toy stores a child could ask for. Its a neat thrift store now and the basement is used for about half the year as a Christmas accessories haven. I think the best edition to the town in recent years has been Heroes Venture Arcade. It has anything from classics like Pac-Man and Centipede to alot of the newer games. Great place. And if you want a pizza TR is the place to go. Between Port Sandy Bay and The Waverly they have the best pizzas in the area by far. Thanks for the tour. Well done.
Whatever else you do, please get rid of those glasses that keep sliding your nose. Too big for you.
