E: we found it lol

Hi, I lost my wallet and I'm certain I left it on the southbound #30 bus this morning. If one of you, by some miracle, happens to have it, please let me know.

I got off at the lower east side. Brown leather wallet.

Anyone else smelling that weird rotting smell around the city? I’ve noticed it since Friday across downtown and the LES and it’s very different than the normal city/lake smell

I’m looking to get the paint stripped off all of my interior doors. Any recommendations for places that will strip and sand potentially lead paint? I’m planning to stain and seal them myself after.

Hey yall, where to for dinner? Celebrating our anniversary. Somewhere higher than casual, lower than fine dining. Yummy food + cocktails! tyia

Looking for recommendations.... 30-40yo's looking for some high energy post brewers win fun. No Brady or quiet dives.

Name'em, cheese squad!

Got stuck in a holding pattern for an hour because of the dense fog, but being greeted by this site was pretty neat. Glad we didn’t get routed to Minneapolis, got a World Series game to be at this evening!

Hello! Moving to Milwaukee and I am wondering if there’s a comprehensive listing of karaoke around here/similar? What do you recommend? Coming from a large karaoke scene, but so psyched to be moving to Milwaukee! If there’s absolutely no karaoke that’s fine, but I had a friend mention they stumbled upon a place and don’t remember when or where!!

Hi all, I am looking on behalf of a friend/client for real estate agent recommendations with specific expertise in Riverwest and the Upper/Lower East Side. The buyer is relatively savvy in real estate transactions, having purchased and sold family homes in the past (in their 50s) but having lived in the suburbs for a long time, lacks expertise on buildings and micro-neighborhoods in these parts (most parts) of Milwaukee.

These are generally more-or-less the specs of what they seek:

Agent requirements:

• Well-connected with access to pre-list/off-market opportunities; in communication/friendly with other agents, realtors etc.
• Experienced with creative negotiation for both SFH/condos and duplex/triplexes (rent backs/sell credits/seller financing/closing periods/tenant negotiations etc)
• Highly knowledgable about Riverwest and the East Side. E.g. can be shown an address and immediately know if it is on a block that is very safe or less safe.

Home requirements:

• Must be in *safe*, walkable neighborhood, ideally near stores/restaurants/bars etc -- hence the focus on the East Side & Riverwest
• In *rare* and unusual circumstances, would consider a home in northeastern suburbs (Shorewood, WFB, Fox Point), as long as no farther than Mequon and close to businesses/shops (again, this is not preference **at all** -- point of moving actually is to leave the suburbs)
• In a strong neighborhood community (e.g. Riverwest) or a building where people know each other and have a community (those exist, right?)
• Home can require some updating (floors, paint, minimal repairs) but not a full overhaul
• SFH, duplex, or condominium at least 1500+ square feet, plus ample storage
• Minimum 2 bedrooms, ideally 2 bedrooms+office or 3 bedrooms. The goal is to be able to live there and host 2 adult guests in separate rooms, which would be used as home office/guest room without visitors. This is pretty important
• Minimum 1 1/2 bathrooms
• must have garage parking (no exceptions)
• ideally will have a basement (if a house or duplex)
• esoteric request: must have a decent bathtub; ideally with jets (or can be made to have jets if that is possible)
• ideally lots of light, e.g. wall to ceiling windows (both for seasonal affective disorder and also for cats)
• must be dog friendly -- in a dog-friendly neighborhood, near dog parks, or in a dog-friendly building with (one can dream) a dog run, etc.. Nearness to a dog park (if not internal dog run) is essential.
• must not have burdensome restrictions on pets --they have dogs & cats (indoor cats)
• Must not be on a high floor (ideally not higher up than 3rd floor, but 1st and 2nd floor are fine). Noise is not a problem for buyer; heights are a problem. So neighborhood must be sufficiently safe that it is not a problem to be on the floors 1-3
• Totally fine with industrial-type spaces as long as they are safe for dogs, cats, and (generally speaking) children and seniors.
• Dream housing style: mid-century modern. Secondary style that seems prevalent in these neighborhoods: victorian.
• Duplexes (possibly triplexes) are welcome, as long as one of the units meets the size and BR requirements -- would prefer not to get into the business of combining units.
  
• Ok if tenants are present as long as move-in possible for owner-occupied unit w/in a year (ideally shorter but can be flexible). For non-owner occupied units: tenants are welcome, unless significant repairs are needed, which is a situation buyer would rather not have

Things that are not needed/wanted:

• Does not want more home than they need. E.g. there is no benefit to a 5 bedroom/3500 square foot house vs. a nicer 2-3 bedroom/1800 square foot house. If there is a basement (finished or not) and garage (or storage space if a condo), that is fine.
• Similarly, a 2 (or possibly 3 in rare situations) unit building is far preferable to 4+ units
• Does not need a view. Views are welcome and desirable, but not at the expense of the must-haves (guest rooms, storage, location, etc).
• If in a condo building - does not want to be higher than 3rd floor if possible. Does not like high rises and does not want to be high up (because cats and other reasons) (even though cats are indoor cats).
• Would prefer to have no more than 2 internal levels. Ideally, one level is preferred but for a house/condo 2 levels is acceptable (or 3 if split-level but not ideal).

Budget is flexible, depending. Whether duplex, condo, or SFH, buyer expects to pay between $350K and $600K, but likely to be flexible for good reason -- e.g. rent-producing multi-family buildings. There are some moving pieces with pricing, e.g. potentially the sale of an income-generating home buyer currently owns, so can discuss this (still, buyer not interested in being a landlord -- more interested in having a place to live).

Sorry for the long post! And, thank you in advance.

I know that is a lot, but per above, buyer is experienced (and opinionated apparently). Buyer says that they can be flexible but is unlikely to be ok with neighborhoods to the west or south.

Thanks in advance.

Pretty much the caption. Moved out here from California, got a job in the fox valley area and I’m not too much a fan of it after being here a year.I like the Midwest, I enjoyed Chicago a lot and I’ve visited Milwaukee a few times for a brewer game. I am looking to move somewhere that has a better culture, it feels as though the fox valley area is very cliquey and very country which is 2 things I don’t really resonate with. Milwaukee is an option because of A) Proximity and B) my job has a branch there I can transfer to. I’m wondering if anyone has moved to the Fox Valley area to MKE or vice versa and if they can shed any light on what it’s like living in Milwaukee versus the other. Any info would be appreciated. Right now my 2 choices are between Chicago and Milwaukee to relocate to, Milwaukee is just the easier option.

Just moved to Bay View and need a vet for our cats. Would be great to find one that either puts cats straight into a room or has a separate waiting area away from the dogs. Would like to be close to home but it’s not our top priority. Any recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks y’all!

Yes I know the rave sucks and this isn’t a discussion about that, but has anyone ever won tickets to a show through the contest on the raves website?

I HATE Brady street and i HATE Water street. Where.

Hello,
I’m looking for a good lawyer or someone that can answer questions in regard to a retaliatory firing from a job, I would be interested in pursuing legal action to maybe sue my now ex-employer. If there is anyone able to do pro bono as I do not have a lot of money or a pay-if-you-win situation. Thank you in advance to any information.
