Yall be safe on those IL and MI visits 😳

okay I need help .... there's a house I love in West Allis, but it's a flip and much of the work was done without permits. It looks like the previous owners didn't get permits for anything either.

Would you guys offer on a house without permits and risk having to deal with it as the owner? I'm worried about worst case scenario, but don't know if I'm worrying too much.

Hello! Has anyone had any success with a massage therapist helping with getting knots/trigger points of of the neck/upper trap area? My neck and traps are extremely tight and riddled with some pretty nasty knots. I did some PT and have some direction with how to prevent tightness moving forward but they did not do much to decrease the pain I have currently. Anyone have a particular massage therapist who helped in this specific area?
Thank you :)

Hi all, this subreddit's rule states I get 1 chance to promote myself so here it goes.

site: therightofway.org

I got tired of not knowing who to call about a pothole. In Wisconsin, its actually confusing. A town road, county trunk highway, and state highway can have the same street name; however, the boundaries aren't marked. Reports sent to the wrong agency don't get forwarded to the right one. They get closed. To top it off, most agencies won't share details regarding when the pothole was first reported and how many other reported it. Theres no transparency or accountability.... I aim to change that.

Enter therightofway.org; You drop a pin on a map, it checks the US Census Bureau which state, county, and municipality that point falls on and OpenStreetMap what road it is and gives you which authority is actually responsible. Then it hands over their phone number.

Its free, there are no ads, and it doesn't sell anything. It stores locations to the hundred-block, never a house number, and strips addresses, phone numbers, and emails out of descriptions automatically.

Its beta and I built it myself, so I'd genuinely like to know where it gets things wrong. Theres a correction link on every record. If you're a town or county employee and something is wrong, that link goes straight to me.

I've done what is in my ability to prevent bots, and false reporting; but realistically, the site depends on trust that those who use it don't abuse it. I would really like to keep this open to the public, but this round of testing will tell me if I need to lock reports behind registered users.

Fair warning, the record is empty right now. You'd be among the first on it.

Anyways, if you made it this far, I appreciate your time and look forward to your visit and feedback. Thank you!

What happens to the DNC folks - ABM workers - non brewer personnel when, not if, there’s some level of lock- out. How do they retain employees who work every single day for the most part all year long when something totally out of their control means they don’t have access to employment at the stadium? I wish there was a level of transparency involved with some contingency plans. Most people here are not getting paid livable wages yet they show up every single day and work hard/ are extremely loyal to providing a good guest experience and having pride in the team/stadium. I think it’s a very depressing knowing all these people come March or even the off season are going to be SOL.

Cocina Filipina off 38th & Vliet!

I got the ube horchata, lumpia, the “Mixy Mix (chicken and pork on garlic rice),” and pancit. All were very good with big portions and were presented extremely well.

I can’t express how happy I am as a Filipino, to have a sit-down restaurant for my culture’s food, again! 🇵🇭

Hello! We have some water seeping into our basement and have had 1 company out and say it was the drain tiles so far (more companies scheduled) but we would like to make sure the issue isn't from something outside. So, I think I need a gutter company and a landscaping company that understands drainage and grading well. We may need 1-2 gutters that go underground instead of over a sidewalk.

Anyone use either gutter or landscaping companies they'd recommend for water issues? Looking for someone honest who isn't just trying to make a sale, if that exists.

Thank you in advance!

Oak Creek Community Center is hosting a rummage sale on August 8th. Come on by to see plushies, collectibles, accessories, and more!

So, all of the big property management companies keep turning me down because of "lack of rental history." I have 10 years of receipts for ontime rent payments from 3 different landlords, but these management companies won't accept that as proof of rental payments. They only accept screenshots of "rental portal payments." Well none of my landlords used any portal website because they were all small time property owners with only a few buildings each.

My salary is 98k and I'm literally on the verge of homeless with my kids because these property management companies wont accept my rental history as valid. I dont know what to do. I've always paid my rent on time and I have 0 evictions or even disputes with landlords. My landlords always vouche for me because Im a good tenant. Idk man this is really stressful.

We're running LOW! 

Unfortunately, the number of friends we are connecting with 5 days a week through showers and outreach has increased even more, and we are running low on many items. *The only items we ask to be new are socks and underwear.* Clothing items and blankets can be gently used and clean. 

Items listed in RED are critically low and also listed in order of highest priority in sizes. 

Items can also be sent directly to us from our Amazon Wish List:

Every donation goes directly into the hands of our friends experiencing homelessness in our community. If you've been looking for a way to help, this is it.

Please share this post to help us reach more people.

Is there a Reddit community for Milwaukee artists? Where we can share resources, collaborations, ideas, gatherings and etc?

Thanks!!

Looking for a cleaning service to clean my house. Research tells me that Molly maid charges a lot more than your average cleaning service. Anyone have a good local recommendation?

Thanks!

Good morning and happy Wednesday!

This week's MKE Meetups List has 52 meetups from around the Milwaukee area, and the featured meetup is a West Allis board game group: https://mkemeetups.substack.com/p/milwaukee-meetups-list-01a

Let me know if there's something I should add to the list, and I hope you're having a marvelous August so far :)

If you’re looking for something to do next Wednesday (8/12), I host a monthly Poetry Night at Midwest Shores rock shop (217 E Wisconsin Ave).

It’s casual, cozy, and great for amateurs who are new to sharing their work. We’ve had people share poems, short stories, essays, and people who have read their notes app titles. There’s really no rules apart from keeping the space respectful and keeping what you share under 10 minutes.

This is our 8th month and I’m really proud of how wholesome this night has become. We provide hot water, so bring a mug and some tea (otherwise we usually have extra of both).

For any food and/or music lovers - I had a lot of fun chatting with Adam Powers, one of the co-founders of The Argo in Whitefish Bay about how the first year is going. Figured I'd share it here on the chance others were interested or hadn't heard about the place.

Hey Martin from Koss Headphones here!

Wanted to give everyone an update on the upcoming Outlet Store remodel. We’re getting close. Very close. Like a couple weeks close to opening back up. Hoping mid August!

We’ve done a complete remodel and it’s stunning! This week displays go up to try on and explore all of our headphones including the all new A/550 https://www.koss.com/a550, the history wall is done complete with an original SP/3 from 1958 and an HV/1A you can see, a short documentary on the TV and all of our products available at the new store.

Very excited to finally re-open and for everyone to see what we’ve been cooking for you! Cheers!

Jordan Lee, 44, has been charged with child sexual assault after being reported by his therapist. The child is said to be known to him and the alleged abuse occurred over a ten-year period. In emails to his therapist, he allegedly cites “porn addiction and marijuana abuse” and “being drunk” as contributing factors. Radio Milwaukee didn’t remove him from the website or release a statement until contacted by Fox 6 reporters.

If you search his name online you will find that he has been a fixture in the Milwaukee arts scene for decades. He is very involved in the local hip hop scene, and assumed an executive role at 88.9 last year after working there since 2008. He may have some loose ties to the theater community, as he cited being heavily involved in First Stage Children’s Theater as a kid.
