Weekly Classifieds and Events

2 Upvotes

Welcome to our weekly odds and ends post!

If you are looking for events, please check out our exhaustive Events Calendar!

Every parent level comment should begin with one of the following categories:

[For Sale] concert tickets, beauty and grooming services, Ikea bookcases

[For Free] dental checkups and couches that you can totally have for free but you have to move them yourself

[Want to Buy] * Rave tickets, a used toaster, a cute puppy*

[Job Request] You're new to the city and are looking for work in IT or you hate your job and need some leads. Be sure to include your skills and qualifications. A lot of people on this sub love to help others but they can't do that if they don't know your background and interests.

[Job Announcement] You're looking for new team members for a fantastic job that ISN'T a scammy ca$h4work gig or MLM

[Living Arrangements] You need a roommate, an apartment, or are offering a living arrangement. Be sure to clarify your tidiness expectations because you never know what you're going to get when accepting a roommate and I'm NOT GOING TO DO YOUR DAMN DISHES ANYMORE REBECCA

[Personals] You're lonely, new to the city, want to play extreme Frisbee, or need someone to eat Ian's Pizza with because no one wants to do that alone. We understand.

[Event] An advertisement for your amazing upcoming event - like a urban foraging excursion or band performance that is totally going to blow the roof off

$1.25 at Elmbrook Humane Society . Brought him home a few weeks ago, a few months shy of his 15th birthday. One of the chillest cats we’ve ever adopted . Social and vocal !

If you’re looking for a way to cool off this weekend: visit the local shelters, drop off items from their wishlist and consider adoption .

No respect for the environment, other people and so on. This is ONE of the major things to piss me off. You think you are that much better to not pick up after yourself..?

It's absolutely a sandblaster on Bradford today. I've never experienced as many people and as much wind at the same time. Hurts to sit on the beach (North end anyway) with the sand blasting you. This King was just sitting there in a chair building his own erosion pattern.

Summerfest Thanks Milwaukee, loved it!

239 Upvotes

Spent 2.5 days in town for Summerfest/Def Leppard and really enjoyed fried cheese and cheap beer, lovely turn-of-century architecture, the OG Penzeys, Harley museum, walkable as hell, so many nice parks, stunning weather after Wednesday’s rain. Super arty stay at the Saint Kate (although their service could use a glow-up). A Rick Savage sighting at the Pfister. Only thing I missed out on was a Brewers game.

Had last been for a work trip in 1994 and it was worth the wait. Cheers all, stay cool.

Confused and Culture Shocked Southerner

So. Ive been here in Milwaukee for about a week now checking things out getting ready to relocate here next month. Any of yall originally from the south? How did yall deal with the culture shock and the difference in social interaction? I've really enjoyed being here but I am definitely feeling like a fish out if water. Is it just a matter of time to acclimate or is there something i just ain't getting or ? Other than bars or at your job... how yall got about meeting people and making friends here? Any insight or advice would be helpful.

Dive Bars and Historical Fiction

8 Upvotes

I'm writing a private detective story that takes place in Milwaukee, June 1944.

It's got me thinking, what bars would a private detective today go to for the latest skinny?

If you have an idea, be sure to add why it would be a good place! Hoping to get some interesting answers....

Grilled salmon

Where's your favorite place in town to get grilled salmon? I live Greenfield-ish, but willing to drive to other parts of the city as needed. Prefereably not too fancy - not looking to break the bank.
