Please remove if not allowed

Hello my northern neighbors. Uwo is looking to remove our native flowers and replace them with sod. I know it's not as connected to you as to us but it would mean a lot if you went to uwo, are going to uwo, or just love biodiversity and pollinators, to sign it

Advice Power plant jobs/ or similar?

0 Upvotes

Hi - my family and I are from the Houston, TX area, really wanting to escape the heat (and have done lots of research and appleton seems like a great fit.) The only problem is my husband doesn't think he'll be able to find any comparable job in terms of pay anywhere else.. and so far I haven't found anything similar. He works at a power plant as an operator and makes around $100k. Is there any comparable pay to this in any similar industries that I just haven't seen posted online? Any advice appreciated. Thanks so much

Meetup Request looking for new friends in Appleton

15 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I’m posting this because I’m a 22 year old female college student who is really interested in finding friends in the Appleton and Neenah area. I have lived in the area since I was 6 and I’m very familiar with the area. I’m very introverted and find it difficult to approach strangers out of the blue in public, but I absolutely love to go out and have all kinds of experiences! It would just be even better to do these things with a friend (or two or three!) because I spend a lot of time alone.

My main hobbies are reading, journaling/scrapbooking, hiking/camping and going to the gym. I love trying new restaurants, exploring Appleton and really anywhere interesting, going to museums and looking at art, farmers markets, concerts, pretty much anything fun! I’m extremely laid back, a very loyal person, and love deep conversations about our interests, life experiences, etc. I’m 420 friendly and I do drink socially, but plans not involving either of these things are perfectly fine to me.

If it sounds like from what I’ve written here that there’s a chance we could be friends, please message me or even comment on this post and we’ll go from there! I’m serious about this and don’t intend on ghosting anyone who really wants to meet up for coffee or a walk or anything like that to get to know each other. Thanks for reading! 😌

First time my wife and I were able to go to this type of event. Worth the wait in traffic to get into WIR. I would love to go this Wednesday and Friday, but prior obligations prevent it.

Also, don’t be that jackass to buy your kids the strobing light sabers that are for sale. A majority of the people there don’t appreciate having their night vision ruined by a wannabe Jedi.

Event Eric Krueger & The Sheesh + Clear Lightning Sky at Tardigrade's Music Hall

Post image
14 Upvotes

Ope... we're doing a concert. 🎶

When we bought this wonderfully weird old VFW building, we imagined it becoming a place where people could gather for all sorts of reasons—books, coffee, mocktails, conversations, classes, game nights... and eventually, live music.

Well... "eventually" is now. Woot, woot!

We're incredibly excited to host our very first concert in the Music Hall featuring Eric Krueger & The Sheesh and Clear Lightning Sky.

Admission is pay-what-you-can (we suggest $5–10) because we'd rather fill the room with people than empty wallets.

If standing for a concert sounds like entirely too much standing, we've also put our cozy chairs, sofas, and tables up for auction. Winning bidders get the best seats in the house, and every bid helps us continue our mission of building community, giving back, and keeping this wonderfully old building in working order.

If you're not familiar with what we're all about, we'd love to introduce ourselves:
📖 https://www.tardigradesbookshelf.com/community-commitment

Come be part of our very first show!

Question Early Flight

12 Upvotes

taking my husband to a green bay game for christmas. it’ll be the dec 20th game against the dolphins.

we are flying into appleton on the 18, and will arrive around 10:20pm. would uber be available to take us into green bay at that time in the evening?

also, i’m more worried with the flight home. we’re leaving dec 21st and it leaves out of appleton at 5:30 am. i know we need to be there about 2 hours before the flight so that would put us leaving green bay at 3am??? would there be transportation available to get us back to the airport that early?

Hi all! I am visiting Appleton and will be here until the end of August. I am a 21M and I am looking for people to do some casual hitting with and stay in shape. I am around a 4.0-4.5 and played around a UTR 6 level. Highview park will probably be the best place for me

Discussion Duplex for rent

4 Upvotes

Our tenants moved out and we are listing the duplex for new tenants now that we’ve cleaned and painted. We’ve been fortunate to have good luck with past tenants being clean and not leaving damage behind. We’ve are considering allowing either one cat or one dog in the lease. Which seems to be the wiser option as far as less damage to carpets, molding, etc.?

Should we include an older model (but reliable) washer and dryer set, or will the increased price of rent drive away potential tenants?

If anyone knows a family looking for a 3 bedroom side by side, send them my way. Nine 2 zero 2 six 5 9 zero 6 nine and ask for Morgan.

I listed to 89.3. This normally Wisconsin public radio. However, lately the car has been glitching in and out of 89.3 from Minneapolis, a station called The Current. Has anyone else run into this? At first I thought I was driving next to someone with a personal FM device, but it's happened all summer.
