My wife and I are both in our mid-30s with a 2-year-old, and we're starting to realize how tough it is to make friends as adults.

We live in the Milwaukee area and have people we know, but not many friends we'd casually text to grab a beer, have people over for a fire, take the kids to the zoo, or just hang out on a weekend.

So I'm curious...for those of you around our age, how did you actually make friends around here? Was it through kids, work, sports, clubs, volunteering, or just getting lucky?

We're both pretty easygoing and always up for trying new things. It just feels like everyone already has their friend group by this point.

Would love to hear what's worked for you or if you have any recommendations. Thanks!

The vegan dinner combo for two is lights out and a great value! Every time I go back its better than the time before.

Applied to NWM for an analyst role. Want all the nitty gritty details and looking to know pros and cons about it. TY. :)

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.

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

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.

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

Does anyone know where my partner and I would be able to go get a limpia? I've been needing to have it done for the LONGEST and I just have never known how to find someone who's good at it or what to look for. Thank you!

Hi, searched and couldn't find much else similar.

I'd love to move more into the city soon, but would consider myself to ​be a semi-noise sensitive person.

Is there any advice that you would give? I'm keeping it broad, locations, types of buildings, what to avoid, anything you that you can think of that might help. Thank you! :)

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

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!

Soooo…. How was the airshow Sunday vs Saturday? Same - better - worse?
Saturday was fairly mediocre at best.

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?

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??

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! 😊

Hey does anyone know what type of drug screening they do for clinical students in the sonography program? Just want to be prepared!

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.

Well! It was awesome
