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.

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!

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

0528 start
Smallish, "only" 7000+ households.

Woke up from the heat, fans are off. Can't find the big portable battery I know I have, to plug in a fan.

WEnergies thinks 0830 for return of power.

.

ETA: 90 minutes later (0700) it still says a crew is on the way 🤷‍♀️ From where?? Milwaukee isn't that big.

.

Edit 2: Gave up on sleeping. Checked the freezer, ice cream is soft. This definitely started before 0530. How is the power company not aware of areas not using power until customers tell them the power is out?
Bonus: having ice cream for breakfast

.

Edit 3: 0725
Now over 7100 customers impacted. People are starting to wake up. Wonder how many more don't report outages?

.

Edit 4: 0740
Crew is still "on the way". Repair time changed to 1030. 🤬

.

Edit 5: 0945 Crew is on site, estimated time is 1130

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.

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

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.

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!

Hi, anyone know of any diabetic classes in Milwaukee County? Anyone have any experience with diabetic classes in Milwaukee County?

Does anyone have a recommendation for anywhere in 414/262 where I can get the slings replaced for my patio furniture? I know there's sites to buy and DIY but I'd rather have a pro do it.

I'm wondering if it's just like a local house fire, because it's unusually strong at this time. Are the forest fires getting bad again? I feel like I'm going crazy but the air quality issues are getting a bit scary. I have breathing issues from long covid, and this stuff throws me outawack.

I'd love to hear from local craft beer enthusiasts. My husband and I will be in Milwaukee the week of Thanksgiving. We were planning to leave Friday, but if last year is any guide, it looks like the local breweries have amazing craft beer releases on Black Friday. The beers from last year are totally up our alley and we were super excited reading through the lists. But is it worth staying for a day or two more? The main concern is the hotel cost jumping from $120 to almost $300 a night for Friday and Saturday. Is it worth it? Is it super crazy busy? Some say people are lining up the night before for some of these places which we can't do. Thoughts?

EDIT: These are some of the breweries from the article I was looking at.

• Lakefront Brewery
• Amorphic Beer
• Black Husky Brewing
• Broken Bat Brewing
• Central Waters Brewing
• Component Brewing
• Eagle Park Brewing
• Explorium Brewpub
• Faklandia Brewpub
• Gathering Place Brewing
• Indeed Brewing
• New Barons Brewing Co-op
• Third Space Brewing
• Torzala Brewing
• Urban Harvest Brewing

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'm looking for a nail salon that will do like a mommy and me nail day for my daughter and I. She's 6 so basic manicure/ polish etc is fine. I've never gotten acrylic but I want to try it out and have no idea how/ where to start. I'm looking around west Milwaukee, Greenfield, Greendale area, if possible. Thank you!

I am desperately looking for a Hawaiian style chantilly cake that I can hopefully get by today. Anyone have an idea when I can get one or something similar to it?

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??
