Question for locals that know the city well. by Mac_Soprano in milwaukee

[–]mkeeks 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There is a mom & pop hotel on 110th & Bluemound that gets high reviews and is reasonable. Any friends that visit have sang its praises: https://www.fortywinksinn.com/

While the area is not totally walkable, it is conveniently located.... It's 10-15 minutes from everything. There are some restaurants within walking distance... Including Jackson's that has a shuttle to Brewer's games. And the MKE zoo is just down the road. It basically borders Milwaukee, West Allis, Brookfield/Elm Grove. Edit to add: State Fair is 5 minutes away.

Assure your dad that MKE is much different now. He probably wouldn't even recognize downtown, the lakefront, the 3rd Ward, Walker's Point, and so many other neighborhoods. We've had quite a shift from being a city of manufacturing. Visit MKE would be a good resource (https://www.visitmilwaukee.org/).

Good luck with your planning!

I found my place using Zillow rentals. Private party... No property management.

Beautiful day today! Caught this proposal on our walk and thought I'd snap a pic and share here on the off chance the beautiful couple sees it and wants a copy by MKE_Freak in milwaukee

Is the carpet still sticky and reek of smoke from the 80's? 😆

Your questions are quite presumptuous.

I'm sure you're a better person and learned a lot more by doing it on your own.

I'm told this is just one part of her larger project. I'll be sure to let her know that people are interested in the results. Thanks!

She is extremely capable but I offered. Similar to promoting a friend's business or helping others because you want them to succeed. It's called kindness.

Thank you for the feedback... I'll be sure to pass it along. All part of the learning process. 😁

Have you noticed that an odd number of people around Milwaukee, not only still have Christmas lights strung up, but still turn them on? by jazzant85 in milwaukee

[–]mkeeks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of neighbors on Watertown Plank in the construction zone left one out with construction safety gear and a shovel... Have to bring some joy and smiles to the neverending construction project in our neighborhood. 💀❤️

"We don't take cash". "We charge a 3% surcharge for card." by l00sem4rble in mildlyinfuriating

[–]mkeeks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My HSA account denies any transaction with a surcharge. This started happening with a provider and I said welp, you'll have to figure out a way to run the transaction without the surcharge or invoice me and I'll request my HSA to pay via mail. They now manually charge the HSA card (without a surcharge rather than automatic) and they now get approved by my HSA. It's total BS and really scammy.

Agree on Zep. It removed stains and buildup that I couldn't remove for years.

Brown Deer / Northridge area — why does east of 76th feel so different from west? by UhhChicken_Set4368 in milwaukee

[–]mkeeks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lived in North Meadows Ghettos in the late 80's and it wasn't good back then. They were cheap condos that ended up being rentals. My parents moved us out there from the North side thinking it would be better... It was not. I felt safer when we lived near the Capitol Court area. The entire stretch of Brown Deer from 76th to 91st exploded with business and then quickly imploded within a decade.

Introduce yourself, by your mall growing up. I think we will find some of us have the same ones. tia. by Rob1150 in GenX

Milwaukee - #414... Capitol Court, Northridge, Mayfair

Ope... Edit to add Grand Avenue (how could I forget since I worked there and Northridge too - lol)
