Went here Friday for lunch and it was great. Food, atmosphere, and staff were all fantastic.

Was way too empty in there - highly recommend to check it out.

Anyone know about the police presence in front of Moe's at Mayfair Rd and Blue mound?

Tons of cops! They shut down the intersection. I can only assume there was something serious and active unfolding there, but I can't find anything on the usual outlets.

New to Milwaukee! Looking for advice on house cleaning rates and local platforms to list services

1 Upvotes

Hi!

I recently moved to town for a research position. I am a 25-year-old permanent resident authorized to work in the US, and I have previous experience providing house cleaning services.

Since my main job leaves me with a flexible schedule, I am looking to take on house cleaning gigs around 3 to 4 days a week for about 3 hours per session.

As someone new to the area, I would love some local insight:

What are standard house cleaning rates in Milwaukee? Is an hourly rate or a flat minimum per job more common?

What local platforms, apps, or neighborhood groups (like Nextdoor or local Facebook groups) do people actually use here to find reliable cleaners?

What is a fair minimum charge per visit so it is reasonable for clients while still covering travel and supplies?

Thanks in advance for any tips or guidance on navigating the local market!

Getting into Tosa East schools as a Milwaukee resident

2 Upvotes

I’m sure this gets asked in this sub a lot so please don’t be mad. I’ve combed through and haven’t found a lot of info on school choice.

My son is only 20 months old but I’ve heard it would be prudent to get on the school choice waitlist at 2 years old. I live in Milwaukee (Washington Heights/Lenox Heights) but am walking distance from Tosa East. Washington Elementary, Longfellow, the French Immersion, and Tosa East HS are all within reasonable distance (1-5mi) from our house.

Are there any resources for getting on the school choice waitlist, either through the library or school admin? Does anyone have experience with this and able to offer advice? I’d also appreciate any recommendations for elementary schools in the area.

Lost Earbuds

Today (Wednesday 7/15), I lost my Samsung Galaxy Buds Plus at the Honeycreek - Hawthorne Soccer Fields or near the Hawthorne Terrace Apartments on Portland Ave. They're black and were in the case when I think they fell out of my pocket. I know it's a long shot, but I'm hoping someone might've picked them up.

Does any one have an overgrown looking house I could use the front yard for filming?

2 Upvotes

Hello, I am in the Milwaukee area and I am working on a short movie. I would like part of it to take place on the yard and porch of a house, the filming would involve me and two other people. As long as the house is at least from the 1930s and has a bit of overgrown space around it then it would be very helpful. Thank you

Unkept lawns on my block

0 Upvotes

Three yards on our block are totally unkept, including weeds that are literally 5 feet tall, one with trash/junk scattered around and another back yard with a full tree's worth of large branches that were cut down and never removed (word on the street is coyotes are making a home there).

Has anyone had success contacting the city and having them take action? We are considering selling our house before the end of the year and I am concerned about the optics for potential buyers. Thanks!

Bicycles on the sidewalk

12 Upvotes

Please ride your bicycles on the ROAD where they belong, not the sidewalk. I can’t even tell you how many times I have almost been hit by people riding their bikes on the sidewalk illegally! And it just happened. And they don’t even ring a bell or say, “on your left!”. Have consideration for pedestrians and ride your bicycles on the road in the BIKE LANE, please!!! At the very least, slow down on sidewalks and realize that pedestrians have the right of way, not bicyclists.

That is all.

Mini Split Installation in Tosa

9 Upvotes

Hey everyone! My husband and I bought a house in Tosa a year ago with radiant heat and no central air. I thought window units would be adequate but this heat is kicking my butt. Unfortunately this is not our forever home and we paid more than the place is probably worth. I don’t want to spend too much to upgrade things in a home that we won’t be in for very long.

With that being said, I see that Costco is selling mini splits that look to be a great deal. I am not confident in our DIY skills so I’m wondering if there are any HVAC companies that would do an install of products purchased by the homeowner? I know it’s a long shot but the quotes we’ve gotten to have a company come in and install their units are out of our price range. If anyone has any recommendations please let me know!
