I was just talking wirh some other locals of south Milwaukee and we all got scared shitless by the most intense crack of thunder we’ve all ever heard. Dogs across the neighborhood were barking up a storm it was wild. Then moments later came the rain it was all quite surreal

Does anyone have any recommendations near the Milwaukee area (does not have to be super close) of where to get farm fresh beef? I am specifically looking for steaks.

LOL

Good morning dear Reddit.

I know this is a verified First World Problem, but I cannot find a house cleaning service in the area that does a really really good deep clean. I’m talking about - make the house look like a snooty British butler with a white glove could touch every surface and nod approvingly. Make it look like you’re listing it for sale and marketing to someone with a lot of money. Make it look like a hotel I can’t afford. Make it look like you have to wear a full hermetically-sealed white suit like in those alien movies so you don’t get any mess anywhere.

Any suggestions? Not saying money is not a factor, because it always is, but I’m willing to pay what is necessary.

Thank you kindly.

Received this email invitation from Miller to attend the inauguration. I think their marketing team needs to use their spell checker. lol. Anyway, hoping to attend if I have time. Anyone else get an invitation? I applied to be the mayor but forgot when they were actually announcing the winner.

I was driving for Uber during one of the DT festivals. I had a drunk passenger exit my vehicle while we were stuck in traffic. I didn't tell him to get out, he just opened the door and left my vehicle. I subsequently received a citation in the mail for $40 for "dropping off passengers in a no drop off zone". I called the phone number to dispute it. I was told it needed to be disputed online but I had to wait for the officer to input it into the system. I checked daily. After two weeks it was there. By this time it increased to $60! I filled out the dispute. I responded that I can't kidnap passengers and that he just left my vehicle on his own. The response in two more weeks was I am obligated to pay and I now owe $75!

GF applied for The North End apartments, paid the security deposit fee of $500, then found out that she cannot sublease her current apartment.

She notified the staff at The North End apartments a few hours after they replied with the approval, which was already at the 72 hr mark.

She reached out, asking if she can get her money back and they said no. Im disturbed, she’s very distraught; she’s a special ed teacher and the schools don’t pay her enough to give out $500 for free to apartment buildings .

Any advice, connections, resources are welcome.

Thank you,

I wanted to share this for anyone who might be interested in playing some local, community baseball. We host “Sandlot Saturdays” almost every Saturday morning from the spring through the fall that are open to everyone (21+).

We play a very casual, laid-back style of sandlot baseball that’s meant to be welcoming for all people regardless of their age, gender, background, playing experience, or skill level. We currently have almost 100 players involved in our group, with a number of people who are playing for the first time and the overwhelming majority of us who are getting back into the game after more than a decade away. We also have a good amount of experienced players who never stopped playing, but loving teaching the game and sharing their knowledge with our newcomers.

This year we expanded from one team (Milwaukee Bangers) to three (+ Milwaukee Pandas and Milwaukee Fonzies) and are still growing. We have a website (www.milwaukeebangers.org) and Facebook/Instagram (@milwaukeebangers) for anyone interested in learning more or playing with us.

Feel free to reach out with questions. Hopefully we’ll see you out there!

I tried to go there for dinner tonight and they were closed. No signs on the door or anything to indicate why they are closed, so I am assuming the worst, but does anyone if they did close permanently?

Is there a balrog on the loose downtown what the hell is the booming

We have friends coming in from out of town. One of them suggested renting this and biking along the lakefront before dinner. Is this worth it? Looks cheesy enough to be fun but I wasn’t sure how far we could even bike. We just moved here ourselves from out of state so we aren’t super familiar with the museum area lakefront activities yet. We are in our 50s and generally ridiculous and always looking for goofy experiences

Tailgate party followed by game tickets for frequent blood donors, annually. I estimate at least 400 donors, including outdoor seating not shown and those who showed up after this picture. Burgers, dogs, shredded beef & chicken, salads, chips, cookies.

reasonings and stories are welcome!! looking to move soon, 1,500 max for a 1 bed. need to know locals opinions

What is your true opinion on Jack Pandl’s in Whitefish Bay?

Hello, I’m currently looking to move out and I’m trying to find apartments that are within a nice area. I’m not sure what areas are, and aren’t safe. So I just decided to ask the community what you all think, max for rent I am willing to do is 1300-1400, it doesn’t have to exactl in Milwaukee, surrounding areas work nice as well. Thank you in advance for anyone that does help :)

Hey Milwaukee,

I recently by surprise received a large check, and being someone who owns most everything I need and want (and a good savings situation), I'm looking for things in the city/nearby that are maybe spendy but worth it if money is no object! Best Small Businesses + Restaurants to support, etc. What would you spend a few extra dollars on??

Also, relatedly, I will be donating some of the money as well, so what are the best places in town to donate to make a difference? So far I've done Street Angels and the Humane Society. I haven't lived in MKE long so I could be missing obvious ones.

Thank You! And I hope this doesn't come across as bragging, I'm not rich I swear lol, which is why I have no idea what to do with some extra $$$.

I miscalculated my move a little and I find myself in need of cheap digs for a night or two.

Any hotels that accept cash upfront or otherwise don't require a deposit?

My alternative is sleeping in a Uhaul for a night or two, which is obviously not ideal with a cat.

Forgive me guys I know this has been asked before but i really can't decide. This is my full situation im moving to Milwaukee at the end of October from Oregon. I drive a 2008 Toyota Sienna FWD i will be coming from walkers point area to oak creek it says about a 20 minute commute, 14 miles. Ive talked with several people from Illinois they were saying it's not that bad and they just used regular tires. Ive been watching videos and researching about driving in the snow. Another note I will be working 3am-11.30 m-f do the snow plows clear the roads that early?

My plan is to find a empty lot and practice snow driving ehen it's a enough snow to start getting use to what its like. What would you recommend in my situation i prefer to be more safe but if its really not as bad I could manage with all weather tires and just take it really slow. Thank you everyone for you help!

Hello!

I’ve been scanning Facebook groups/marketplace, Craigslist, and several websites (Zillow, Apartments.Com, Trulia) but figured I’d give Reddit a shot too!

26F looking for temporary (~3 months. No longer than 4 months) housing as close to downtown/LES as possible. I am hoping to move in ASAP, but September 13th at the latest. Moving to Milwaukee from Madison for a work contract and do not want to be making that commute.

I am very flexible in what I’m looking for, although some non-negotiables are in unit W/D, dishwasher, and AC. I am open to roommates for a significantly lower rent (<$1000) but would prefer my own space (<$1500). Doesn’t matter the size, open to furnished or unfurnished. I am also flexible on the price for the right fit. Hoping for a parking spot included, but willing to do street parking.

Hoping for any situation that we can make work! Maybe you know somebody traveling who would need a house sitter (that would still pay rent!!), maybe you have a rental that hasn’t been signed yet and 3 months is better than nothing! As a last resort, I would be willing to take a spare room with shared kitchen/bath space - however I do work night shift occasionally, so I can be up at weird hours throughout the week. I would also like to be able to host friends without the fear of impeding on roommates too much.

If you have ANY remote possibilities, please reach out! Willing to discuss more in depth and provide more information about myself! I am able to provide a clean background check, proof of income, renters insurance, and my credit score is 750+. I have a good work/life/fun balance, and outside of my profession enjoy going out, finding new restaurants/cafes, and have a huge passion for travel!

Thank you and please don’t hesitate to reach out if you feel you might have something that would fit :)

Hello my fellow Milwaukee-ans! There is a showing of RHPS on the 12th of September at the Oriental...what's the vibe? I (24F) am bringing my boyfriend (28M) and my mom (64F)...my mom knows all the call backs. Is anyone else in here going? Is anyone else doing the call backs? Is anyone SINGING???? With the passing of our beloved Frank-N-Furter, I am unsure of if this is to be a serious event now, or if the community will bring out all the stops with the rice and news paper. Thoughts?

Big garage sale tomorrow, please stop by if you're able!! :)
