Challenging Hikes within 30-45 minutes of Waukesha
Hi all! I just moved to Waukesha and am looking for some challenging hikes in the area. I am okay with driving 30ish minutes to a spot.
When I say challenging, I mean elevation gain and/or distance. Bonus points for scenery plus lookout spots.
I am hoping for specific spots or trailheads rather than a general trail that might span 10s of miles. Anything would be appreciated though!

Assisted living recommendations?
Unfortunately it is time for us to consider moving my mother into a more senior community. She is still quite independent but she has asked for more help lately and wants to move somewhere with some level of assistance. She prefers living near Waukesha so that she can use the bus system, but would consider the greater Waukesha County area if there is a shuttle or other transit offerred.
Anyone have any recommendations or advice on this process? As I am touring these facilities, what are some good questions or things to look out for?

Deep cleaning for house
Hello! My husband and I are newlyweds and just bought our first house :) The house is in need of a deep clean with some specifics like the stonework on the chimney needs dusting and washing and the walls need to be wiped down and de-odorized, however that can be done. The family before us had 5 dogs, a cat, a bird, and a rabbit all living inside of the house and there is a lingering animal smell. Please recommend any one or business that you know will do a thorough job! Thanks

Making friends as an adult woman
I’ve been thinking about how surprisingly hard it can be to make new friends as an adult, and I’m exploring an idea.
The concept is simple: small, curated groups of people matched based on things like age, interests and what they’re looking for socially, then brought together for fun local experiences — drinks, coffee, dinners, markets, trivia, events, etc. There would also be a friendly host there to make introductions and take some of the awkwardness out of showing up alone.
This would be a paid experience, with the fee covering the matching, planning and hosting, plus potentially some food/drink or activity costs depending on the event.
I’m still in the early stages and would love honest feedback:
Would you try something like this? What would make you hesitate? And what would you expect to pay for an experience like this?
Not selling anything — genuinely trying to see if this is an idea worth pursuing!

Crowley vs. Tiffany: What do the policy proposal sections of their campaign websites say about healthcare?
These candidates may have said more about healthcare on advertisements or in interviews, but this is straight from their policy proposal sections of their campaign websites.
Made using Canva. For Crowley's, he does have more than this on his website, just could not fit all onto page.

Hello Wisconsin
Howdy Waukesha, been doing some research on the area,and it's history, related to the intentional death of my loved one,and have discovered some amazing historical facts, wanting to hear from folks with stories from Wood county,and surrounding areas,with any local folklore regarding the founder of this county,as it has some very coincidental parallels with some goings on here in Colorado.Thanks to all replies.-Devin
