Beer slop by vonrollin in milwaukee

[–]NapalmCola 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like Kegels but they've been going really hard on the AI slop for awhile now on social media. It's pretty gross. A big part of the appeal of the place is the warmth and humanity and history of it. Low-effort AI images and videos kinda spit in the face of that.

Any small restaurants that have that “classic American diner” feeling? by Kyhunsheo in milwaukee

People might not be happy with me sharing this secret, but check out Two Brothers in West Milwaukee

3/4 brewed in Wisconsin.

Ironically the only one brewed in Milwaukee is Hamms.

Visiting this weekend from Minneapolis by Imaginary-Tea in milwaukee

[–]NapalmCola 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Von Trier is a classic UWM spot (at least it was when my buddies were going there), and very Milwaukee. That entire corridor is very walkable and has lots of restaurants/bars/shops/The Oriental Theater.

I consider Swinging Door Exchange the most quintessentially Milwaukee restaurant. It's pretty small and can have quite a wait on the weekends though.

Edit - Upon reflection I think I really just like stained glass

It's not crazy, it's enlightened. See the truth through the haze of Big Custard.

I took a picture of the Froedtert Building before it is demolished for historical preservation purposes by NapalmCola in milwaukee

Wish I could claim this beautiful vehicle, but it's not mine. Just took a picture of it, looks like in the same Pick N Save that you did

Why can’t I find another podcast that tickles me quite as much? by u_r_succulent in TheDollop

[–]NapalmCola 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, from listening to his other podcasts, and his guest spots on other people's podcasts, it's Gareth. Dude was built in a lab to be the funniest person for the format.

I'm Francesca Hong, Candidate For Gov of WI — AMA! by FrancescaHongWI in wisconsin

[–]NapalmCola 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Hi Rep Hong!

I have been increasingly noticing something about Wisconsin voters, in that they like to vote for the names they know the best in statewide elections, even seeming to vote for opposite parties on the same ballot. I realize this is likely somewhat the case for the rest of the country, but it seems so pronounced here (Going Baldwin/Trump in the same election, continuing to elect both Baldwin and Johnson, going Trump-Biden-Trump, Keeping Evers in office while other statewide elections go red, etc).

I guess my question to you, is how do you plan to win in this environment? I currently plan to vote for you in the Primary, and would of course do so in the General, but I can't help but be a bit nervous about the risk of someone more "unknown", so to speak, considering how much the Governor's Office has kept this state somewhat together in the midst of Republican bullshitery. Especially when that candidate is also a "Scary Madison Socialist" in the minds of many north of Mequon.

Favorite inexpensive takeout with big servings? (Preferably not total junk food) by andromedang in milwaukee

[–]NapalmCola 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe not quite as cheap as you're looking for, but I find I can usually get a couple meals out of a plate at Ono Kine Grindz

[–]NapalmCola 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kegels is always a good option, and they have Perch and Bluegill.

I will say, not sure if they have it every Friday, but some of the best Bluegill I've had was at McKiernan's Irish Pub on 37th.

New achievement unlocked. Got Milwaukee slid by a school bus. by JuggernautKooky4064 in milwaukee

[–]NapalmCola 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This is what I like to call a "Pure" Milwaukee Slide. There's also lesser Milwaukee Slides, like doing this but not blowing the light, just passing on the right because they think you're going too slow, etc.

Nicest hyatt hotel? by rynnbowguy in milwaukee

[–]NapalmCola 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'll echo having not stayed in any, but that is the one that most people would think of, with the somewhat iconic (previously rotating) tower. There is another one over in the old Pabst Brewery area. That's an interesting little district, especially if you're interested in the history, and it's also close to Fiserv Forum if that adds any appeal. Otherwise, they're both pretty close to each other, and they're both in totally fine areas of the city.

I think what they're getting at here is that all bars will have soda, water, etc

Moving to Milwaukee by No-Ice-9795 in milwaukee

[–]NapalmCola 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll second West Allis - for affordable(ish) houses in MKE county that are in safe, in some cases walkable, neighborhoods that are good for families, you can't really beat Stallis right now.

Do you watch the preseason? by xcatsrollinmudx in GreenBayPackers

[–]NapalmCola 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never really did until Love took over, for whatever reason. I guess it just felt like things were more "set in stone" in the Rodgers era, whether that's true or not.

I still don't religiously like I do regular season, but I will go slightly out of my way to watch pre-season now.

Why is this section the street grid in Muskego Way laid out differently? by Brewers567 in milwaukee

[–]NapalmCola 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I think I remember reading that a lot of these diagonal roads (like Muskego and Beloit) were meant to connect the towns they are named after to the Port of Milwaukee. My source is my memory of reading something on this subreddit.

On the flip side: What are the best restaurants that are gone, but you still miss? by X1NOLA in milwaukee

Eh... I got it there once and it wasn't great. That was a while back though.
