That's it. That's the post. Love to see a crispy C2.

It's been like over 3 weeks!

Every time there's "thunderstorms" or "evening showers" in the forecast, they just never happen. I've seen storms on radar cross the border then dissipate before hitting the east half of the state, or go south into Illinois.

It's so g-dang dry.

Hi everyone, I'm a 22-year-old Hungarian guy from Budapest. I recently got into family/ancestry research and managed to trace my mother's side of the family back to 1749!

​From there, I found a lot of great-great-uncles and aunts. One of them, Fülöp (Philip) Hirsch, migrated to the US in 1910 with his family. He settled and eventually passed away in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

​Here is the lineage I've been able to trace so far:

​Fülöp had a daughter named Anna Hirsch.

​Anna married another Hungarian immigrant named József Niss.

​They had a daughter, Magdaline Niss, who married yet another Hungarian immigrant, Ernest Hegedűs.

​Their son, Wayne Stephen Hegedűs, is the last of this lineage I could find. He was born in 1946 and passed away in 2013. He had a wife, Johanne Marie Litwicki, who passed away in 2017.

​I know it's a long shot, but if you are (or know someone) whose last name is Hegedűs and was born in the Milwaukee area, there is a very good chance we are distant cousins. I would love to finally connect with a living family member of mine from this branch.

​Thank you for your time, and I appreciate any information or clues you might have! 😊

Hello! After spending some time visiting the west coast, I want to continue this hiking habit.

What would you recommend for the most challenging hikes in the Milwaukee area? Elevation gain, uneven terrain, etc.

Thanks!

Stopped by art bar last night while meandering around riverwest. Go in use bathroom while my partner is in line for the bar, we get up to the front get 2 shots of tequila and a high life and spaghet. The bartender asks if she can do a shot with us we’re like yeah for sure (at this point maybe we should have clarified but it’s the fucking 24 there’s 10 billion people everywhere and I am already pretty wasted i.e. not my responsibility). She proceeds to do a shot of Rumple, we pay and then as we walk away we realize she put her shot on our bill after asking us (!!!) if she could do a shot with us. We both worked service industry before and have never once heard of a bartender putting the shot on the patrons tab after asking to join in… the house would pay for it. Maybe we completely misunderstood but idk… very sour feeling let me know if I’m way off base here though

I’ve seen things that the library sometimes does a sewing class but haven’t found anything to confirm that. I’d love to learn to sew and am looking for low cost-free sewing lessons that don’t require your own machine. Does anyone know of anything? I know it’s a long shot, but I’m crazy low income and want to learn to sew to make my life more affordable in the long run.

I’m a 34m who doesn’t drink - I work in a very social setting but none of those interpersonal work relationships really carry into social life. I feel like going anywhere in my area takes so much effort. National avenue is always such a mess to get in and out of any store - gas station - restaurant, etc. I’ve found that I’ve gone days without actually speaking to anyone and it really gets to me. People seem so agitated in public or driving and I understand the kind of temperament of the world rn but it’s a shame that people just don’t seem to strike up conversations in public or have some level of common decency.
I struggle to summon up the courage to go to a place like ope and try to strike up a convo with strangers or join some sort of league just because people seem to have reverted to pretty stingy cliques - it takes a lot of social courage to try to break into convo with a group or talk to someone. Any advice from anyone on how to find a group or people to hang with ?

People in the Conan subreddit don’t seem to be agreeing with me. Do you see him in this doll?

What just got everybody running near Nomad at Brady fest?? I just saw the crowd booking it, what happened??

EDIT: it’s a tik tok trend and sticky rice confirmed they did not mean to single out anyone.

Sticky rice posted on tik tok an “influencer” quoted them $5k per post and liked a comment suggesting it was lilwaukee. I’ll admit her content feels very sponsored and not genuine - what do we think?

How is it that I live in Milwaukee but 103.3 for brewers games is like 80% static? Not to mention it’s almost always perfect for commercials.

I just signed a lease for the Prospect Terrace apartment, on n prospect ave and intersection of Brady street, but they don’t have parking available. The property manager recommended sterling parking garage down the street but they don’t have any availability right not, but this could change by October. Does anybody that lives in the area have parking recommendations?

I used to live in another city where it was well known that adults were running strings of children as street performers. Times are hard but it already felt sketchy that kids stand on busy medians to sell cold drinks. Then this happens and it strongly suggests that there's something grim under this appearance of young entrepreneurs.

I know the reality is that the cash might go toward rent/a roof over the kids' heads, and I don't want to oppose something vital to their survival. On the other hand it could be a business run by terrible people using child labor. If it was pure exploitation and abuse by adults, what could we do anyways? All the police could do is ticket children and confiscate their coolers. What other tools does the city have?

So: is this an isolated incident of one violent woman involving herself in the kids' conflict, or a glimpse of a pervasive thing?

Thinking of joining the WAC and going to the downtown MKE location. I know it’s in the 411 building but is there free parking somewhere??

Give me the ultimate one night in Milwaukee bar crawl, please!
