Good hard working people who like to blow off a bit of steem after a hard day at the factory. They might not have had extra income or energy to afford or upgrade thier modest homes and besides, what was the point? Vanity? This became the mind set- Get your high school diploma, Get a good factory job, find a honey, have kids, buy a home and repeat. The expansion of manufacturing jobs in the 60's- 80's might have increased the population of Sheboygan but did nothing to expand the ideaology of it's people. People here seem to be stuck on "good enough". The influx of people from different cultures in the last 20 years, along with the decrease in manufacturing jobs has put this community into a bit of a tale spin. Sheboyganites have not learned to adjust. In order to transform, grow and suceed, The goals need to change- a high school education is no longer acceptable, factory jobs are not the only answer and your new nieghbors might be able to teach you a thing or two. Look into new ways to make or spend your income. Some cultures encourage people to suceed by conbining households. This reduces housig costs, food costs, child care and transportation costs. It also reduces certain typs of stress, since you not not responsible for the whole fuctioning of the household. So you have a choice: complain about your neighbors getting ahead, while your busy working your self to death, or find out WHY your nieghbors are getting ahead. Do they have a second job? Are they sharing child care? Be friendly. Poeple are less likely to vandlize or steal from someone they know and like. Plus, chances are your nieghbors are probably home when your not. They will notice if some one is there who shouldn't be. Work on your skill set. Every one is good at something. Can you teach? Knit? Are you good at math? Work from your skill set to gain extra income and develope community ties. You may find a career out of your extra efforts and you'll be doing something you like. Sheboygan needs to get serious about adapting to the new world market. Not everyone can start a business that employs 4000 people. The majority of employees in the U.S. work for businesses that have less than 100 workers. That means service companies, small manufacters, financial and techical companies. That's a a lot of diversification! We can not, nor should we, be a nation of restaurants and theme parks, because when things start to tank, these are the first to suffer. Prosperity goes a long way towards reducing crime and encouraging community pride. We can no longer rely on our government (or foreman) to fix the problem.It starts with changing your mind- see the compost and not the manure.

Do You Have a Story? by Charlie http://www.blogsheboygan.com/general/haunted-sheboygan-do-you-have-a-story/comment-page-1/#comment-114 Charlie Mon, 18 Jan 2010 18:27:30 +0000 http://www.blogsheboygan.com/?p=152#comment-114 The Spanish House in Sheboygan has a creepy feeling to it, definitely. It's not open for trespassing but a few years ago, my friend and I snuck in to take pictures. It's very run down but beautiful. I don't believe the story of the husband killing his family, but I have seen the stains on the sign. You can't see them in the day, but if you shine your headlights at it at night, you'll see them. However, I've seen the same stains on many signs around the state and I don't believe it's anything paranormal. I've lived in plenty of haunted houses and psychism runs in my family. Myself and my brother inherited it through our mother. I felt a presence there, but nothing extremely shocking. Sorry to disappoint. Just an old town legend. It's also said that if you have your radio on and you pull into the garage, it'll change to Spanish music. Tried that, and it's not true.

I think there must be some haunts in the city, maybe we need to talk to some of the older folks around town. Keep the paranormal alive, let's find more information.
