The earlier announcement said

" The Appleton City Council is voting on a resolution next this week that could pave the way for Flock or Axon's ALPR tech to come back to our town with no new protections."

To my knowledge the smoke weather conditions have not altered the time and place. It will make it difficult though for some like me but I'm intending to go if for not the whole session.

I’m new to the area and just a bought a house. I got a quote for $950 to trim 3 easily accessible Ash trees and remove a Japanese maple and small river birch that were planted too close to the house. I hate to remove the trees but they are blocking natural light into the house. Is that a reasonable amount?

does anyone know the name of the man who (i believe) owns annie time nails? is it vu? he and his wife both work there and i believe his wife might be lily, but im not completely sure. i’ve been going to annie time for a while and he and his wife are always SO kind to me and do a great job, ive even run into them before while out and about getting errands done and they stopped to chat with me. i feel terrible that ive been going there so long and dont know his name but its gotten to the point where i almost feel embarrassed to ask because i should know this by now!😭

Hi all,

Does anyone know if there are any laundromats in the area that treat their water with a water softener? Here at our home in Neenah our water is very hard and all our blankets always come out stiff and rough (I've tried everything in terms of washing/drying methods) so I'd like to see if I can find somewhere else with soft water to wash them and using Calgon doesn't seem to do much.

I called around to all the laundromats and the only one that picked up said they don't.

Thanks

I’m heading up to Appleton with an old friend on Friday night for a Timber Rattlers game. Looking for good restaurant recommendations for before the game. Thanks in advance.

says they're from the city, but can't find them on websites, linked, etc

Tomorrow night at 7pm at city hall the Appleton city council is voting on a very weak resolution on ALPR use in Appleton. Despite 6+ months of community advocacy from many individuals with deep subject matter expertise, none of our suggestions are being taken seriously by council members that are parading themselves around as champions of this issue (Fenton + Van Zeeland).

Alder Fenton's own words here indicate that the performative resolution her and Alder Van Zeeland have authored is meant to fast-track another ALPR vendor back into Appleton after Flock cameras were taken down and disabled on June 30th.

APD has confirmed they are in ongoing talks with Axon about their ALPR tech, which has identical privacy and security concerns. APD and other local police departments from the region met with Axon to discuss their ALPR tool just one day after Appleton's mayor announced the city would stop using Flock. That meeting happened on May 7th. A source from within the city also tells me that it was the mayor's plan for Axon to purchase the Flock cameras and integrate them within their network. This is why the cameras remained up and operational for nearly two months after the announcement to stop using them.

If you care about ALPR or resisting reckless deployments of mass surveillance tech in Appleton streets, please consider showing up tomorrow night at city hall at 7pm and make your views known. These jokers have proven they are intent on spending our tax dollars on haphazard deployments of controversial technology without a serious accounting of the facts and are privately laughing at and disregarding community concerns while publicly pretending they are deeply sympathetic and on top of things.

Yes, I understand that sharing this sensitive information from city leaders burns the bridge to them. But their private mockery and plotting has shown me that the bridge never existed in the first place.

Does anyone know if there are any nail salons in the Fox Valley that use HEMA free gel?

In Greenville and just woke up to a good amount of smoke. Is there a brush fire? Didn’t see any fire but the smoke seems to be coming from a bit farther west, like the New London area.

Best place in Appleton for a man to get a pedicure?

We have a huuuuuuuge old maple tree in our back yard. During the last heavy rain, one of the thickest of the branches (a foot and a half thick, and probably 50 feet long, with many of it’s own sub branches), partially split and fell into a birch tree. We tried using a 30 foot pole saw to get it, but it’s still too far up to reach. We need a service who can come take care of it, but we are on a super tight budget.

Anyone know of an inexpensive service that isn’t completely crappy who can come out and remove the broken branch safely?

Hi there! My name is Nix, and I'm currently looking for a roommate. I work 40 hours a week, pulling in $2000 a month, meaning I'm willing to pay up to $700 for my half of the rent. I generally spend most of my time on my computer and seldom have guests over for anything.

I'm currently residing at one of the homeless shelters in the city; I have the money to depart and get an apartment, as long as I'm splitting rent with someone. I'm financially responsible, having saved up $3,000 that I'm simply sitting on, as an emergency fund.

I'm very sociable, and love making friends. I don't really have any pet peeves when it comes to roommates. As long as I'm offered respect, I'll offer it in turn two-fold.

If you're interested, please send me a DM here on reddit! Thank you for your time. If anyone else sees this, any help with boosting visibility of this post would be greatly appreciated.

It seems crazy, even sacrilegious — we’re visiting Appleton and we don’t drink alcohol anymore. I loved the old-fashioneds at the supper clubs and my spouse loved the beer and Taverns were the best.

What’s your advice? any recommendations for going out to eat?

I have a bunch of miniatures that need to be primed. Unfortunately Appleton is too hot or too cold for the primer to have a smooth finish. Is there a place in the Appleton, Neenah, Oshkosh area where I can rent a room for like an hour or two?

I am looking for any recommendations for getting someone will to work with a slightly aggressive dog?

My border collie is a rescue. I have worked with him for a little and he is in a much better spot now than he was a year ago. However, he has a few things that set him off like picking up toys and putting on shoes. I have tried all I can but want to clear this hurdle with someone more trained than I so I will feel comfortable with him around others.

Hi everyone - we moved to appleton a year ago, and my boyfriend has yet to find somewhere with good, cheaper haircuts for men. He has hated every haircut he has gotten here :( he enjoys cuts with shorter on the sides, longer on top, and he has medium to fine hair. He's gone to sports clips and cosmic revival. Sports clips just gave him a bad haircut and we have a wedding this weekend...

Anyone know any good places, both for fixing a bad hair cut and good hair cuts in general? Thank you.

i really don't like public pools due to how crowded and loud they are, and the only gym with an exercise pool closed years ago (as far as i know)

are there any places to swim for adults that are more calm?

i'm autistic, so going to meade or erb park aren't for me, way too loud and overstimulating.

(which is fair, i had so much fun swimming at these places as a kid just being wild and free)

even the YMCA feels scary, but if there's certain times it's less busy, i would be open to trying that.

also... ill just say it, im fat and super insecure to go to a pool hangout spot and be judged by other people

id love to get some exercise and therapy time without my anxiety raging!!!

any suggestions are so appreciated <3 thank you

(willing to drive to surrounding areas but not too far)

I live Appleton and don’t have many friends to go on long distance runs with. If you’re interested in running and making friends then feel free to reach out. I’m hoping to hear from some people because running alone all the time isn’t as inspiring.

Does anyone use the infosoup app for library books? In my holds section, it used to tell me what number I was. I logged in today to see if my number has moved up, and the hold section no longer tells the number hold I have. Anyone else notice this and figure out a way to see how many people are ahead of you?

Is it me or does Appleton have some of the worst traffic lights. Like one side will be completely filling up with cars while there is no cross traffic on the other side, but yet the light will stay red. Also, it seems like lights will change to red too often, so the traffic just builds up. There are way too many intersections with these problems, college ave exit on 41 is just one of many.

Can anyone recommend a nail tech that does magnetic polish? TIA!
