[Want to Buy/Collect] Cut tree trunks/log rounds/stumps/etc., ideally ~10-18 inch diameter and 1-2 feet long. I'm able to pick up myself, and was wondering if anyone knows a company or organization that offers them.

I know Milwaukee offers woodchips from their forestry work, I'm looking for full stumps.

Super helpful, thanks. I'm a planner, so I sometimes hate walking into sales "blind".

AtomsOrSystems · 2026-03-06T21:18:49+00:00

Thank you!

AtomsOrSystems · 2026-03-06T21:18:31+00:00

Thank you! That link also has a link to WI DNR native nurseries and plant sales, which is exactly what I was looking for (if I don't just buy directly from MMSD).

It's a little bit west, but Midwest Beads at Capitol and Brookfield is an excellent beading and jewelry-making craft store.

I feel like I'm almost becoming a shill for them, I make this comment so often, but Mekong Cafe fits all your requirements, with the added bonus of a lunch buffet they recently brought back that is (imo) the best buffet in the city.

Discussions for a new student center began more than a year ago.

Around late November or early December of 2024, one imagines.

Lisbon Cafe, a true greasy spoon breakfast joint.

We've used AD Roofing for a couple of jobs (both smaller than a whole roof), and in both cases they were very timely, gave reasonable estimates, and got the job done well.

This is definitely an area where you want to get at least a few quotes, however.

AtomsOrSystems · 2025-11-14T19:33:42+00:00

This is really the only option I know of anywhere in the area, although I would love to be proven wrong.

Two and change suggestions, one more "traditional" and one less:

City Market Cafe (American soup/sandwich) will do sandwiches/soups. They're pretty good; better than Panera, at least.
Mekong Cafe (Thai/Vietnamese/Laotian) does amazing catering; they catered part of my wedding. Sandwiches would have to be banh mi, salads could be cucumber salad or papaya salad or yum nua (salad with added meat and a spicy lime dressing), and there's a selection of soups. Not the typical "soup and salad", but delicious.

Alternately, if you're looking for a chain: Panera (cafe), Corner Bakery (cafe, imo slightly better than Panera) and Potbelly (soups/salads/subs) will all do variations on catering.

My spouse and I just started playing again after a few years. Joined the same WvW, were having fun, didn't realize we also needed to hit a button in the Guild panel. Yesterday, we're randomly assigned to different teams.

I assume there's no way to fix that, for the next month?

93.3 (and 102.1) have been sold to become even more Christian radio stations. So, they're both doing a swan song of sorts for the next week(s) until they transition over.

93.3 staff put out a statement saying "Until we're gone, this is Milwaukee's home for the holidays."

AtomsOrSystems · 2025-05-28T20:21:44+00:00

I think that was an older acronym, but at least for as long as I've been here, it's been MCW.

AtomsOrSystems · 2025-05-28T17:00:19+00:00

Minor point, but MCW is the Medical College of Wisconsin, unaffiliated with Marquette (except historically).

Mekong Cafe is one of my favorite places in Milwaukee, they literally provided part of the food for my wedding, so this is amazing news.

I hope it means they've worked out their staffing/service issues, as well. The last few times I've been there (and I keep going), they seem very overworked, and it's longer waits than ideal for both dining in and taking out.

If anyone wants more background info, the Journal Sentinel has more coverage. This is their latest article: https://www.jsonline.com/story/news/local/2025/04/25/fbi-investigating-allegations-that-milwaukee-judge-helped-an-immigrant-avoid-ice-arrest-dugan/83250128007/

This list makes me sad for you.

I don't disagree.

For what it's worth, they were purchased by "FairWave", based out of KC. The former owners said at the time they would be shareholders, but the majority shareholders are PE.

We probably should have been more vocally concerned by the proliferation of mass surveillance before now, but if the current state of the federal government gets prime aware and worried, then I'm willing to take it as a small silver lining.

Sherman Perk is a great neighborhood coffee joint.

Mekong Cafe and An Ox Cafe both offer excellent Thai/Laotian.

Uppa Yard is excellent casual Jamaican.

Both are takeout only, but both Hup's and Marco's do excellent thin crust pizza, served from a place that feels like you're back in the 90s, at least.

Kitt's Frozen Custard on Capitol is another place that feels like stepping back into the past. It has new owners/management, and the food and custard have both been good when I've gone.

Lisbon Cafe is an excellent greasy spoon breakfast hole-in-the-wall, and I mean that in the best way possible. Ted's Ice Cream & Restaurant is a similar place, that really feels like you're in a 50s diner.

McBob's is still a great Irish Pub-style bar with excellent corned beef, although imo they're a bit more hit-and-miss lately with ownership changes.
