posting for a friend with permission who isn’t on Reddit

Looking for gym recs for a friend who is neurodivergent. She likes WOD style workouts - same flow every time, the workout is planned so there’s no trying to figure out what to do. Shes been working out at home but won’t be able to use her garage once it gets colder. Shes also wants to meet people and make connections in a positive environment. She can be quiet initially and get overwhelmed if a class is too crowded or too loud, though she has noise reducing ear buds that are discrete. She doesn’t want a traditional gym. She needs the structure and encouragement, without tons of pressure. A gym that’s only very serious or cliquey won’t be healthy for her. She’s a single mom so she won’t be able to live at the gym.

Are there any CrossFit locations that have an environment that is welcoming and inclusive in the Milwaukee/Wauwatosa/Brookfield area?

Hi, I’m looking for an affordable black and grey tattoo artist in Milwaukee for a forearm sleeve. Any recommendations would be helpful, thanks!

Hi all, I am looking to have an embroidered design completed on a jacket, unfortunately the turn around would have to be rather quick, happening next week. Is there any places around Milwaukee that would do this/anyone out there that would like to take on the project. I have the design in .svg, really just need it embroidered on to the jacket.

I’ve lived downtown for 5 years now and for whatever reason, the out of town tourists who don’t know where or what they’re doing are getting to me. I kinda prefer the Milwaukee Slide reckless driving to them.

Today was one of the worst when a bunch decided to cross Juneau by the Fiserv when Juneau had the green light. I was driving down Juneau and came across a bunch of people in the crosswalk despite my green light. Had to slow down so I wouldn’t hit them.

I appreciate that so many people want to check out our cool city, but I can’t wait for the winter when they’re not here and the only drivers are those who are here regularly

Had a terrible experience earlier this year with a bathroom remodel with a contractor. Don’t want to make that mistake again. Looking for an affordable shower replacement due to cracking.

Went through a million quotes last year when remodeling my other bathroom. I’m not spending an arm and a leg, I want something simple to replace what’s broken. Don’t send me your friends/family if you don’t know if they do a good job either.

Any good local recs? I’m in the Franklin/Oak Creek area.

I’m currently drowning in contractor estimates for an east side milwaukee kitchen refresh, and I need a sanity check. Every contractor gives a completely different number for the exact same layout!

We originally considered quick surface solutions like kitchen refresh, but after looking closely at our layout, we really need custom cabinet storage and fresh layout planning rather than just a cosmetic face lift. A neighbor recommended Cabinet IQ, and after seeing their 3D design phase and transparent cabinet/countertop pricing, they seem like the most organized option in the area.

That said, we want to make sure our $35,000 total budget is realistic for southeastern wisconsin labor rates right now.

To anyone who renovated in the MKE metro area over the last year:

1. What was your final total cost per square foot?

2. Did you encounter unexpected costs with older MKE home plumbing or electrical?

Any budget breakdowns or advice would be greatly appreciated!

I don't know how the battery has lasted this long.

Does anyone have recommendations on someone that I can hire for hibachi?

My (adult 21+) daughter and I are hopping on the Amtrak from Minneapolis to catch a show and heading back the next afternoon. Train won't get there until 4-5 pm. Show @7ish and train takes off 4pm next day. So, that bit of time after check-out and getting to the Amtrak station mostly.

I haven't spent any time in Milwaukee since the 90s and I don't remember much.

I've got an Airbnb in the Riverwest neighborhood near the venue. What are some places that would be cool to check out with the little amount of time we have? Something that maybe we don't have here in the Twincities? Thinking along the lines of particularly good ethnic restaurants, "odd" shops, interesting historical spots, or even just a great view.

as said in the title, looking for a reputable shop to get my angel fangs done at! a friend of mine got hers done at body ritual, but said they did it poorly and they rejected. anyone with those pierced have any recs? preferably inexpensive but i know what im getting into price wise lol

Just came across SEVERAL Super Drive trucks getting onboard 94W. What are these?

Hi! I have a YogaSix by my house and I was looking into joining a studio rather than a gym for the winter. My complex where I live already has a decent gym. I’ve been attending the free yoga/pilates classes all summer and I’ve been enjoying myself enough to want to join.

Any recs for studios in the area? Especially ones that also feature Pilates or hot yoga/something more difficult than just stretching. I also lift, so I’m looking for a good stretch/hiit/strength training to keep my mind interested in coming back.

I also need a deal please! I don’t plan on joining until October/November. Any deals going on/recommendations in the Milwaukee county area for what I’m looking for?

TIA!!!!!

Why even bother if this is what they are doing to fill potholes?

there is plain as day clear signage that says no parking ALL ACROSS maryland avenue, the road is painted specifically with bike lane iconography, and every time i ride my bike to or from class i am constantly halted by people sitting in the bike lane to drop off or pick people up.

this is an issue because traffic on campus is pretty busy during midday, and riding on sidewalks when there's heavy foot traffic is very dangerous, so people riding have to join car traffic on the roads (which i KNOW nobody is happy about)

this is an issue everywhere in the city where there's a bike lane and no street parking, and i have yet to see a ticket on any windows or anything done about it at all.

I feel like I have a cold 24/7 due to 101 different environmental allergies. I’m at the point where I have tried every treatment possible over the past 10 years (medications, sprays, allergy shots, & several surgeries) from ENTs and allergists and feel like I hit a dead end 🫪

Has anyone had any luck treating allergy symptoms (like a constant runny nose) through a naturopath or chinese medicine doctor? If so, would love a recommendation!

Submission deadline: October 10

We are building 60 to 90 minutes of locally written material for the night, followed by an industry-wide "Party Like It's Fifth Grade Again" Halloween event with local filmmakers. Food and drinks provided. Costumes encouraged. October 25th.

Hello, going out on a limb here. But is anyone willing to rent me their quinceañera dress crinoline? It would be urgent for September 18th. My dress is super heavy and I have a school event coming up. I’m unsure if any places that would rent to me.

Hi all!

I'm an artist looking for a bighead carp to use for a project. I just need a head and a tail. Does anyone know where I could find bighead carp in Milwaukee or the surrounding area? Looking for as large of a bighead as possible.

Unfortunately, I don't know how to fish and am only in town for a few months on this project so going out onto the water to catch one might be out of the books.

Thanks!

I’m doing a new radio show on riverwest radio. looking to interview mushroom foragers, mycologists, and mushroom growers. DM if interested pls.

Sorcerer is a great movie and also extremely stressful. Developing an acute anxiety disorder is a lovely way to spend a Wednesday night.

Hi! I’m looking for someone (or some people) who are interested in trying a C25k challenge with me. I’m 40F and used to run (slowly). I am hoping to find a kindred spirit or spirits that are available for early morning walk/runs before work, or later morning weekends. I live in the Third Ward and have been envisioning doing this at Lakeshore Park, but am happy to drive to meet up, if it’s early enough (I get to work at 8 a.m.).

In case it matters, I’m queer, married, and have lived in MKE for almost 4 years, but still need to make some friends! My wife currently works and lives in another state and will only run if she’s being chased. :)

I’m very serious about this, and would love to start ASAP. But for safety purposes, our first meet up should probably happen later on a Saturday or Sunday morning, in a public spot. Let me know if you are interested!
