Famous blogger RachelleB used to live in Appleton

A few months ago I noticed that I was getting hits from jefflindsay.com. I never heard of Jeff Lindsay so I went over and found out he is a guy who lives in Appleton, WI and is passionate about the area and has posted a lot of information about the city online. He also has a blog about Appleton.

Jeff has a comprehensive list of historical facts about Appleton and famous people who have lived there. For example- Houdini lived in Appleton, they had the nation’s first hydroelectric station and the first home with electricity and the first hotel with electricity and the first electric cable car, Lawrence University is the second oldest coeducational college in America, Senator Joseph McCarthy got his political start in the area, John Bradley is from Appleton and is one of the soldiers raising the flag in the famous photo from Iwo Jima, Alex Rodriguez played for the Appleton Foxes, oh… and … what’s this? Famous blogger RachelleB used to live in Appleton.

I did live in Appleton on Drew Street and on State Street for a few years. I found it really flattering that he included me in such a list. And Dallas had fun teasing me for about a week saying things like “Oh, what? Store brand pasta is not good enough for famous blogger RachelleB from Appleton!??!”
