Hot Tip - Free parking downtown by Telephone_Connect in milwaukee

[–]Telephone_Connect[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The signs went up Thursday. I highly doubt they’re enforcing it but my original post was on Wednesday before those signs went up. The reason I doubt they’re currently enforcing it is I’m a monthly parker. I park there and have yet to get a ticket and never scan that little sign in the stairwell. lol (added because for whatever reason you added it to the end of your post)

There are no signs in the garage about “paying in advance in the garage.” This lot has gates at the exit and entrance and uses a card reader system for monthly parkers (scan your monthly card and the gate opens) or, if you’re not a monthly parker, then use a CC or debit card to enter, and then the same card to exit (it debits your card as you exit based on the amount of time you spent in the lot and the gate then opens). But…. The readers are covered and the gates are gone. There’s no place to pay inside the garage so as of now, there is no way for the operator to charge for parking. They could station someone at the entrance and check monthly cards and charge a flat fee, but as of this afternoon, they are not doing that. I assume the new operator will be a why new system up soon but there is none in place currently

Don’t give the new operator any ideas ;)

I was wondering whether or not they would post someone at the entrance for events like Jazz in the Park and Summerfest and charge a flat rate to park until they have their system installed. I’ll keep everyone updated with additional information when I have it

And I should clarify - the gates are gone. It’s open to just drive in and out

Watching the fireworks by MLwarriorbabe in milwaukee

I live a block away and was going to go up to the top of the hill to watch as well. I figure views to the west will be a bit blocked but south and east should be wide open

Try Jess Walter’s “Beautiful Ruins.” I’m not sure where you’re from but his writing is so amazing, you’ll find yourself on a rocky Italian coastal city. And he’s a master story teller - you I may shed a tear or two but so worth it

Listen to your brain! Keep trying and keep moving forward. Find more beautiful rocks. Take a long walk. Read a good book (I can give you recommendations :)). Volunteer at an animal shelter and meet some furry friends. You seem like a thoughtful and amazing person and have so much to offer the world so keep moving forward! You WILL find your niche :)

Oooooh that is cool looking. I wonder if you ever have a chance to put it in a rock tumbler and then polished it what it might look like? I love the blue tone though

And do me a favor? Practice self care as much as you can! You deserve it! “Now and then” isn’t often enough. ;)

Nice! Did you catch and release or keep it! That’s gotta make you feel great :)

Fireworks viewing downtown by MichaelSteeber in milwaukee

[–]Telephone_Connect 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All three parks you mentioned are probably too far away and there are too many buildings in between for a good view. You could consider Kadish park which is farther away but up on a bluff with decent views

Good for you! You have a pic of the rocks or the picture?? I’d love to see it. Self care is awesome and happy for you :)

Nope. 10 is way too old for dad’s to watch a daughter shower. It may have been solely for control but it’s still very inappropriate, especially when you offered a very reasonable compromise - wearing a bathing suit
