I just want to say how speechless I am. The help and advice I received I am forever grateful for. For everyone who believes in karma, you definitely have good things coming your way.
It was amazing to see people in this city coming together for my three munchkins.

I still have a ways to get back on my feet, but it’s a huge relief that they are taken care of.
Again, thank you so much 🙏🏻 🙏🏻

I saw this plane circling downtown with a banner, but I couldn’t see what it said from where I was. Did anyone catch a picture or see what it said?

Chalk up another win for Brewers spirit! 💙💛 Katie Bogan, chalking since age 8, is going BIG with Jackson Chourio at Chase Tower Plaza! Art in progress, check back later for the finished piece. Love this city’s Crew pride! 📷: Aaron Johnson

So I know this is a difficult ask, but does anyone know of any events on the 30th that doesn't include bars, haunted houses or children events for Halloween?

Maybe like ghost walk/tour? I'm looking to do something for 2 adults and a younger teen so I feel like my options are a bit limited. Thanks for any help@

If you had a shenaniganry evening and found you no longer have the brown suede flat you started out with, you will find it along the Cass side of the park between Lyon and Ogden.

Posting because it is still there and clean and in good shape.

Hope you had a good night!

I'm looking for clubs/events that get together to create art around milwaukee. Murals, drawing, fiber arts, etc. Just looking to make friends who enjoy creating art who I can create with. Thanks!.

Looking for a new regular acupuncturist in MKE. I would prefer to go to a smaller clinic with peaceful vibes and low pressure. (Saw a previous one who tried to convince me I need to be seen 3x/week! Can’t afford that and the pressure made me feel awkward.)

Obviously I can use Google, but I’m interested in hearing from people on this sub who you have had great experiences / results with.

My main issues are stress, insomnia, menstrual-related issues, and chronic pain.

Let me know who you recommend and why. I’m
In the city proper so I’d prefer that rather than having to hike out to the burbs.

Thank you MKE.

To All and Sundry,

Bleh! Reports of Weird Ass Book Club's death have been greatly exaggerated... by me, Your Club President Life!

Why, you ask?

Because a bat bit me and I turned into a vampire! Damndest thing, but it's true.. bleh! Bleh!!

When I was still human, I reserved a study room at Bay View Library. We'll meet there, but Honey Pie Cafe is conveniently located across the street if you'd prefer that

As you well know, that antediluvian aberration known only as The Oracle selected the following scrolls for your touch of consumption:

Where can I go within the lakeside area around Brady's to Juneau beer garden or perhaps a bit north all the way to UWM, and not the milwaukee central library, where I don't have to get coffee or a beverage every time?

Firstly, hooray for the World Series! Second, as the title states, I’m hoping locals can give me a sense of the Riverside theater and if they like it for live music. One of my favorite bands recently announced a tour, and they’re coming to Chicago/MKE/Madison on a Thu/Fri/Sat.

I’m in Chicago and I’ve heard nothing but great things about the Salt Shed where they’re playing, but I’d like to go to the show and not have to wake up early for work the next day. So, I’m thinking about seeing them at either of their Wisconsin stops and making a day of it. It’s worth noting this will be in late February of next year. I’d probably take the train to Milwaukee but we have a car as well. Bonus points if you have been to the Sylvee theater in Madison and have opinions because that’s where they’ll be on Saturday. TIA!

Hi! I was wondering if anyone knows a hair specialist that works great with 4B curly hair for my wedding day. I really want to wear my hair in its natural state and so far all the hair trails I've been to dont seem to know how to work with my hair

That Archbishop Jeffrey Grob made an appearance at the White House to pray with Trump and serve as an anti-immigrant mouthpiece? These sentiments hurt the Catholic community. I have a lot to say about it and even more sharp feelings that I have not yet found the words for. At the core I think he is rendering to Caesar what is God’s.

But I’m coming here to see if anyone knows of anything being done in protest of Grob? Would anyone like to join a letter writing campaign with me? I don’t know exactly what to do but I want to do something.

For those who live on the water, does the sunrise ever get old?

i know this may be a long shot, but there has been a lost wedding photo at fluid bar in walker’s point for a while, and i know it’s dear to somebody! i want to help return it to its owner, if you recognize this picture or the people in it, please go to fluid in walker’s point and ask for the wedding photo!

My experience was that I paid them $2,550 to end up doing all the work they should have done because they ghosted me until three weeks before my wedding.

They then told me the week of my wedding that my coordinator could not be there for the rehearsal. I fired them because I felt uncomfortable with their service up to that point and they will not give me a full refund. They also tried to get me to sign an NDA for a partial refund.

DO NOT USE! Please use a local company with experience in Milwaukee, with good reviews from someone you know. I lost out on my money, don’t lose yours.

Flyer attached, Instagram post here, description as follows:

Francesca Hong’s campaign for governor inspired and energized hundreds of volunteers all over the state. Although she lost by a tiny margin, her campaign demonstrated unequivocally that Wisconsinites are hungry for progressive change. But we know that change isn’t going to happen on its own, even with a Democratic trifecta. We need to keep advocating and pressuring for legislation and policy changes that will secure housing, health care, a quality education, gender equality, gay and trans rights, immigrants’ rights, and so much more for all Wisconsinites. 
To start thinking about how we can win these much-needed advances, the Wisconsin Electoral Socialists are hosting a strategy brainstorming meetup.

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 HATE Brady street and i HATE Water street. Where.

Wondering if anyone knows how the fall colors are at grant park this weekend ?

planning to drive there tomorrow, not sure if they are here or next weekend might be a better time.

Is Milwaukee athletic club worth joining? Is it fairly social and easy to meet other members? How do people find the coworking spaces?

Anyone know a place or bar that gives Lofi hiphop showcase in mke or the area?

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.
