Hey,

You're getting this because somewhere along the way you said yes to Kenosha Wire — maybe at an open house, maybe through a friend, maybe the logo caught your eye. Either way, welcome.

Here's the deal. I'm Dustin Decker. I live here. I sell real estate here. I run The Decker Agency, which means I write home, auto, and life policies — also here. I have opinions about Tenuta's, Frank's, and which lakefront bench has the best sunset. (It's the one south of the Southport Lighthouse. Fight me.)

Kenosha Wire is a once-a-week email that does three things:

1. Tells you what's actually happening in town — events, openings, closings, schools, anything worth knowing if you live or work in Kenosha County.
2. Spotlights people doing interesting things here — businesses, neighbors, makers, families.
3. Keeps it honest about the housing market and the things that quietly affect your home — insurance, taxes, what your house is actually worth this month vs. last.

What it's not: clickbait, doom-scrolling, AI slop dressed up as journalism, or a thinly veiled real estate pitch every week. If I'm selling you something, I'll tell you. The rest of the time I'm writing the newsletter I'd want to read as a Kenosha guy who's lived here a while.

Two asks before I let you go:

1. If you got the welcome survey, fill it out. Four boxes. It tells me which kinds of Kenosha stories matter to you so you're not getting noise.
2. Forward this to one person who lives in Kenosha County. That's how this thing grows.

See you Friday morning when the next KenoshaWire drops.

— Dustin
