Green Bay - Packers = ?

Traveled back to my old stomping grounds the other day with reporter Barry Adams, set on uncovering what Green Bay might be without the Packers, and what the area offers to a city that's far more diverse than the rest of the state (and the nation) believes it to be.

I think it's a challenge to go back to a place you used to live or work and try to make pictures showing what's special or unique, all in one day.
