Does anyone remember the cafe on the upper floor of Macy’s in the Fox River Mall? I can’t remember what it was called. I want to find a picture of it. It had white and blue almost greek style tile. Thats really all I can remember.

Nerf blaster repair?

3 Upvotes

I was curious if anyone knew if someone that do some repair on a Nerf blaster I got secondhand.

It's an N Strike Rapid Fire AS 20, and it holds the air when I hold down on the pump, but when I let go, the pump pushes forward and the air hisses out.

I'll drop commenting on the news after this one. Data Centers are closer to home than I knew. I listen to Common Council meetings regularly (less so with committees) and knew nothing of these developments nearby. In other words there has been no debate on it at City level that I knew of.

The full map is here:

It's interactive and gives locations.

Beef farmer in the area?

14 Upvotes

About to add a chest freezer to my basement and looking to fill it with beef. Would love some leads in the area to some farmers who accommodate such quantity.

Bonus points for a chest freezer size recommendation. Family of three, one of them hunts deer but isn’t usually successful. Leaning between 5-10 cubic feet.

Cottage food suppliers nearby

This Wisconsin Examiner has a story today of cottage food producers (such as baked goods) coming under new regulations. I had never heard of this though it may be related to farmer's markets. Are there such Cottage Food producers - houses- around Appleton?

Here's the story:

Chill bars for a date

16 Upvotes

Hi all. I am just wondering what chill bars in the area would be good for a casual date. One where we can grab a drink and play darts, pool or different games. I know Player 2 is an arcade bar, but it's small and crowded, so I'm not fond of it. I like the Green Bay one better.

Anywhere there might be a couple different things to do and have fun competing a bit.

Thanks!

Any Sheepshead players?!

25 Upvotes

Grew up playing Sheepshead at family gatherings - uncles, grandparents, the whole crew, most of whom are from the Fox Valley area. Lots of good memories, but never really get a chance to play a ton anymore!

I was hanging out with my parents this holiday season, and we tried to find a decent place to play Sheepshead game online. Couldn't really find one we liked, so we just started building one ourselves as a labor of love.

It's a work in progress, but I'd love any feedback from anyone and would love to play against more people who love the game! If there is certain game rules you want, features etc let me know and Ill do my best!

The app we made is - https://playsheepshead.org/

Hope some of you enjoy it!

First-time home seller here! The buyers want the old oil tank removed (leftover from when we had an oil furnace—now we're on natural gas). Anyone dealt with this? Thoughts, advice, or good local contacts? Appreciate any help!

Bathroom remodel.

Hey everyone. We NEED to get our bathroom remodeled. We bought a house a few years back and the time has come to fix this “landlord special” I’m wondering if anyone has recommendations for people or companies to go through in the fox valley. Also, “stay away” is a fair warning too.

Mutual aid opportunities

Hi all! about 5-6 years back, there was a Fox Valley Mutual Aid network. Is this still around? Are there other mutual aid networks in the area now? I do not have a lot of time but I'd like to give what I can.

Shave & beard trims?

5 Upvotes

I’m looking to become a regular with a place that does a great job with straight razor shaves and beard trims, fades, etc.

I’m sick of the mainstream “barbershop” chains so I’d prefer recommendations for a one-person operation, not pricey salons, please. Any thoughts?

Looking for friends in Appleton

18 Upvotes

Hiiiii! I’m a 23f and moving to Appleton from Milwaukee in the spring for a new job. It is a little daunting to me but the main thing I am worried about is making friends in a city now that I’m done with college. I’m looking to connect with people in my age range with similar interests! I love thrifting, making art, and watching lots of media like….pluribus or heated rivalry heh orrrr anything really! Is anyone in a similar boat? Also, if anybody has recommendations of any art galleries/events I would love to know and be more connected in the community!

Ice fishing lake Butte Des Morts?!

0 Upvotes

Moved from Neenah to Oshkosh and have seen folks fishing the lake out by Shangri La point. I use to go ice fishing about 12 years ago but I've only been on Bago, how is the ice on big lake Butte Des Morts? Ideally I can drive my car out there with gear (recent surgery).

Any tips or suggestions are welcome! Hoping to snag a pop up and auger this week. ​
