These days we spend a lot of time at our lake place near Danbury, WI. This is a pretty remote area. I must drive nearly 13 miles to visit a coffee shop. I prefer a shop within walking distance.
Danbury may not actually be a town. I am not certain of the official meaning of unincorporated. There is a great grocery/liquor store and a nice gas station/restaurant/outdoor sporting goods store. And, we have a post office. I had a passport picture taken there. The service was discontinued. I may have been the only patron. There is also a casino. The casino has a $2 breakfast which I enjoy. I do not enjoy gambling – it seems very boring.
There are several vacant buildings in Danbury. Lately, the building (we decided it was an abandoned bank) has been occupied by a donut shop. Some retirees from Little Canada (this is a real community) decided they were restless and they opened the donut shop. They are doing this as a charity to support various causes in Danbury. The donuts are great – a dozen for $5. The proprietors make no income from their work. Every Friday – Sunday they prepare the treats and man the store. With the exception of supplies, everything goes to charity.
Awesome.
