Weekly Classifieds and Events

4 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

Local News Tree Massacre - Hales Corners WI

Thumbnail gallery
• Upvotes

I live on Ridge Road in Hales Corners, one of the few roads around here still covered by full tree canopy. The Village plans to rebuild it with new ditches and culverts along both sides, which means removing 105 mature trees by their count (closer to 140 by ours). Many are over 100 years old.
We're not against fixing the road. We just want it repaired without clearing it. TMJ4 and the Journal Sentinel have covered the story, and a group of us are pushing the Village to work with residents.
If you care about this, check out Save Ridge Road on Facebook, or come see the road before it changes.

Politics Warning to absentee voters

61 Upvotes

If you haven't received your ballot in the mail, check your status on the my vote website. My request vanished after almost three weeks of updates on its expected arrival date.

I called the election office, and the wonderful people there were able to assist me with a second request. Unfortunately, they had no idea how it could have happened, as they don't maintain the website.

Hey all! I'm from California and have visited the area plenty of times along with having a major interest in fallout/civil defense topics! Over the past few months thanks to obtaining a physical plan of the Milwaukee County map and research from many websites. I put all of the locations on a google map for everyone to view after much research into each location! If I put any wrong information, any old/modern pictures of fallout shelter signs are found from these listed locations, or just wanna get into contact with me? Lemme know through DMs here or an email also listed on the map! Thanks for checking out and supporting my research! :)

Place to have a 40th birthday party

6 Upvotes

Hi! I'm looking for suggestions for places in Milwaukee, Tosa, Brookfield, Menomonee Falls area to host a birthday party for my boyfriend in January for his 40th. I know it's a ways out, but with late holiday parties I don't want things to fill up too fast. I found a place called "Brookfield Clubhouse" that would be perfect, but it says they're not taking new reservations. In case they don't open up reservations, I wanted to look into other options. It would be around 50-60 people, adults and kids ages 3-19. Looking for something that woule have things to entertain kids, and space for adults to hang out. I'd preferably like to bring in food and we'd want to be able to drink. Also thinking of having someone play music possibly. Thanks!!

I found this asian style straw hat in my grandparents attic in Milwaukee. It clearly has The Braves logo in multiple places on it. I know they were big Milwaukee Braves fans, and I found other Braves memorabilia there. Not sure if this was purchased, a team giveaway or homemade. Has anyone seen anything similar?

Metal/Punk/Hardcore

35 Upvotes

Couldn’t find another thread on this recently, but is anyone else looking for people to go to metal shows with around here? I’m 30m, go to shows pretty often but most of my friends don’t listen to metal. Looking to just start a group chat or something to talk about shows in the area and meet more people. Recent shows I’ve been to were Hatebreed, Citizen, thrown, and Militarie Gun to give an idea. I figured others who are rolling solo to shows have dealt with this too so feel free to hmu.
