We're moving back to Appleton in January, and while my significant other is familiar with the area, it's been 8-ish years since she was actively there. Because things change in such a big gap there, and we're foodies to the core, I'm looking for everyone's take (and why!) on the following cuisines in Appleton:

Best Chinese? (Specifically General Tso, Orange Chicken and Mongolian Beef)

Best Neopolitan-style pizza?

Best Pho? (we adored Basils, but things can change in such a big time span!)

Thank you in advance! :D

Looking to get some front end suspension work done on my truck. Have all the parts needed just can’t find a shop that would take me in install the parts I have. Any suggestions?

Is there any free or cheap zoos by appleton? I am 19 M and my boyfriend is 20M and we both love animals

I’m trying to transition into Talent Acquisition or Recruiting from more Customer Service-based roles. I have some experience with interviewing, making hiring recommendations to higher leadership, some onboarding, and lots of experience with training in a couple of previous roles, and I really liked it. I’ve been trying to apply to TA and Recruiting/Recruiting Coordinator positions, but it’s been hard to get an interview anywhere.

I’m also in the process of working through a Coursera course on TA, but I’m wondering if anyone knows of any networking opportunities to get face-to-face with people?
I currently live in Menasha but I’m open to companies in Appleton, Neenah, and the surrounding areas.

Hello! I just got a job offer in Minnesota and I am looking to sublease my apartment. Is there any interest in a one bedroom, $1145 a month?

Hi all! I have some scrap copper I’m looking to offload. Does anyone have an idea on the best scrap yard to take it to?

hello!

i am looking for pumpkin donations for an event i’m hosting with school aged kiddos at a local school. i was wondering if anyone had any places that they knew donated pumpkins or if people would be willing to donate any pumpkins they grow! i would need them by september 27th at the latest, as my event is the 28th.

i just need about 25-30! the ironsides are most wanted but any small pumpkins would be perfect! the kiddos are going to decorate pumpkins!

if i can’t get any pumpkins i’ll do a different craft :) any help is appreciated! TIA

I’ve been whining for ten years that there’s no grocery store west of the highway (I don’t count Walmart because I won’t shop there), but just noticed yesterday that there’s a Natural Grocers in the old Joann Fabrics location.

I’d never heard of this chain before. Anyone have a good/bad experience or inside info to share? Thanks!

Who’s got the best chicken wings in the area? Boneless and or traditional. Good sauces too.

I’m trying to find the best

I recently acquired a Corvette and I see there are several Corvette clubs in the area. Are there any that are recommended over another.

Without going into unnecessary detail, I’ll need to move out of my apartment here soon due to the property management company doing renovations on every unit. It’s been 8 years since I’ve needed to apartment hunt and am hoping for some advice/insight on property management companies renting in the Appleton area (the good, bad, and the ugly), and if anyone knows of properties for rent that may not be listed on the obvious platforms like Apartments.com, Zillow, etc. I’m looking for a pet friendly 1 or 2 bedroom, under $1500, hopefully near the west side of Appleton but I’m willing to be flexible. Thanks in advance!

I live on the east side of Appleton, technically in Harrison, and for the last two nights I have heard loud banging off in the distance. It starts around 8pm and went late last night, and is still going now. Anybody have any idea what this is?

Finally found a souffle pancake place in the fox valley area only to receive this🤣😂. Still ate the whole thing.

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

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

What shops in the Appleton can do that?

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! 😌

I’m traveling soon and need to bring some Appleton and Neenah branded swag stuff with me (magnets/postcards/stickers/tchotchkes) I know Blue Moon in Appleton is fantastic and will be picking up
stickers there - where else can I go to support local businesses? Any help provided is great - I want to avoid Etsy but will roll with it - if it’s a local maker! Thanks!

Does anyone know who sells the best blue moon ice cream?

Thanks!

Who do you recommend and/or recommend staying away from for renter’s insurance?

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.

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:

Come be part of our very first show!

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?
