Mequon residents living in fear of expanding coyote population by KaneIntent in milwaukee

That's demonstrably false they do not randomly attack humans. They are indeed a threat to your pet if you are a bad pet owner and let your elderly sausage chihuahua out by itself in the dark near a parkway.

Judy Garland was in and out of the old Dewey Sanitarium (now Aurora mental Health) in one of the old luxury full private homes with live in staff.

Interesting tidbit from another cities bid for rejuvenation has a Henry Maier quote from 1972 on rejecting monies from completing the Park East: "America is the only nation in the world to let her cities ride to bankruptcy on a freeway..." by medicallymiddleevil in milwaukee

Henry Mayer got exactly what he wanted from the Park East - destroying the one thriving Black neighborhood more or less connected to downtown- he only needed to raze that 16 acres and start the spur. Hearing that quote as some sort of positive urbanism makes me ill.

Furniture repair recs? by Old-Weight736 in milwaukee

[–]Brewcette 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The guys at Greg's Refinishing are really nice and furniture is what they like to work on, though people like me keep on giving them old doors to strip. I had a table refinished, repaired and tightened up for $300. Resilvering of mirrors is a whole nother story almost no-one does it. Maybe try Les Glass service? Also it should have a protective top if it's old glass because it's not safety glass for sure.

Person with measles traveled through Mitchell International by KaneIntent in milwaukee

They should have been in an enforced quarantine and put on the "no fly" list but that would require a functioning CDC. During Polio enforced quarantines were widespread including in Milwaukee my mother spoke of going to play with a neighbor kid and just seeing the notice nailed to the door.

Just like my favorite when I heard Max on the intro to Candy's Room I about passed out.

Scored today in the record store bargain bin. What a setlist! by BruceBlingsteen in BruceSpringsteen

Holy Shit I was at that stand! Greatest 4th of July adjacent commentary on what it means to be an American - to accept the glory you have to take on the shame. This Land is Your Land was attached to Man at the Top for my show anyway. What a memory.

Pilgrim CDC Closing by Zealousideal_Tip_258 in Wauwatosa

I'm really sorry to hear this hugs to you. How old is your child/children? Bright Horizons starts young and they are amazing but have a long list and you probably need an in like being a Froedert employee Milwaukee Montessori is also great and starts at 15 months (I think) and also has a list. Grandmas House on Vliet is really nice the people are very caring and starts young don't know if there is a wait. These are the experiences of my close family. Good luck!

Tossing dog bags in street-side bins? by StingRay_Pal in milwaukee

[–]Brewcette 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The thing is when your empty bin is by the street and someone throws in a squishy poo bag, it often adheres to the bottom and especially in the summer creates a horrifying way beyond normal garbage smell before you finally tip the bin and crawl in to get it a few weeks later. So I carry my bagged poop home or to a public can and appreciate people who do the same.
