[Original Airdate: March 28, 2019]
Portage is the kind of place whose people light it up from the inside out. And that was a really good thing in September of 2018 because between the rain and the mosquitoes, John didn’t want to be outside much!
In between dodging the raindrops and swatting the bugs, he had very climate-controlled and fun visits with the American Legions folks, the police chief, the live-in caretaker at the Zona Gale House, the shop owners of the Mercantile and the Portage House of Clocks, and the business owners of Loggerhead Deco, PendaForm, Cascade Mountain and Northshore Restaurant.
Of course, our videographer was eaten alive shooting the exteriors, but as John said (usually from the comfort of the van and referring to the technical crew members), it was worth the pint of blood the Portage mosquitoes charged!
