LaDeDa Books, Manitowoc, Wis., shared a photo of the shop's sidewalk chalkboard, noting that Charlie Berens, author of The Midwest Survival Guide and creator of Manitowoc Minute "says that 'Ope' is one of the most frequently used words in our part of the country. In his honor, we created a new open board for our Manitowoc shop, LaDeDa Books. Most people get it, others just think we're being silly!"
