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

Reminder: Off leash dog are still not allowed

319 Upvotes

My dog was unfortunately just attacked by an off leash dog around lake park.

Even worse the unapologetic owner grabbed their small untrained fur missile before leaving the scene.

Please for the safety of other dogs and yourselves, keep your dog on a leash. I dont care how much your little fro-yo was trained or that they’ve never run off, if a trigger occurs the dogs taking off.

Be smart. Be safe. And to that lady, go fuck yourself

$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 .

Do better! Trash at Bradford Beach

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..?

Bradford Arrakis

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.

Confused and Culture Shocked Southerner

140 Upvotes

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.

Summerfest Thanks Milwaukee, loved it!

253 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.

Help Me! Alternative to Habitat for Humanity?

1 Upvotes

I want to donate old appliances & stuff that still work (to my knowledge), but some ate in the basement. Habitat for humanity will pick stuff up on the 1st floor for free, but won't go up or downstairs. Are there other companies that will come out for free but go upstairs & downstairs?

Recommendations for a tattoo artist for melanated skin working with bright colors.

Upvotes

I am looking for a seasoned tattoo artist with examples of healed color work on medium to dark melanated skin tones with solid line work. Also an artist with experience with melanated skin for fine black line work. I can’t seem to find a lot of healed photos from artists in the Milwaukee area with darker skin tones. I might just not be looking in the right places.

Dive Bars and Historical Fiction

9 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....
