How the digging works
Hancock sits on the sunny side of the Portage Canal. This site digs into the parts of its public life the local news doesn't fully cover — with a method, not a mood.
Every claim traces to a public record — a minute, a deed, a packet, a published report. The source is named where the claim is made.
Contested claims are attributed, both sides. Who said it is part of the fact.
What no record answers is labeled as unknown — and stays on the page until a record answers it.
Corrections run at the top of the entry they correct, dated. If something here is wrong, send the record that shows it and the fix will carry your evidence.
Sunny Side Digger is written and maintained anonymously by a Hancock resident. The method above is the byline: every claim carries its record, so the work doesn't need a name to check it against — check the records instead.
Tips are taken by email only: [email protected]. Anonymity respected — say what you saw and where the record of it might live.
