Piano lessons Chippewa Valley

Hey everyone, I don’t do the Facebook thing so I’m turning to Reddit. Ha. We are thinking about lessons for my 5 year old but am curious if anyone has any good recommendations and idea on price. I don’t want to drive too far if possible and I’m a little closer to the Chippewa side of things. I’d appreciate any recommendations. Thanks!

Dog booties

I'm from Oregon, please forgive my ignorance when it comes to snow. My dog and I are staying in EC for a month to see if we could survive the winters and possibly relocate here. How long can I safely allow her to walk without booties? When we get home from walks she has balls of ice attached to her paws (poodle/terrier hair). She hasn't shown any signs of discomfort, but I do worry about the salt? Can any dog parents offer advice or booties you'd recommend? At what point would I have to put a coat on her? She is long haired and runs very hot so my instinct is no coat at all?

Housing

I’m asking for a friend, regarding housing. He has no rental history, criminal/felon background, no credit. He’s on Ssi but has his settlement money and is looking for a place and he can pay all cash… where could he turn to apply? He is currently in a hotel that shut down and his last day is Wednesday the 27th and he currently pays $1k/month there.

Are you fucking shitting me?

The substandard house I moved into a few months ago killed my laptop. This house had serious wiring issues in the past and a fire in the basement- not disclosed to me of course before signing the lease- and I noted a defective looking outlet in my inspection report. Well, just fucking now, I plugged in my laptop and the outlet sparked, and my laptop died.

There's been so many other issues that the property managers have been unwilling to deal with; I already had to report them to DATCP and requested a city inspection, and we can't just easily move out.

EDIT: Deleted last paragraph for length, and already got recommendations. It's important to note that I have a private landlord who moved out of state. So, if he's unaware of the state of the property or the "service" they're providing, they are definitely screwing him as well.

EDIT: This is how to find out who actually owns the house you're renting. If anyone is unclear whether they have a private or corporate landlord. https://beacon.schneidercorp.com/Application.aspx?App=CityofEauClaireWI&PageType=Search

Eau Claire Third Ward Area

Does anyone know much about the area? We just moved to town and got an apartment in the third ward, and we don’t know anybody. I live with my boyfriend and a dog, we’re two queer fucks from northern Wisconsin. I’m looking for something fun to do in the area, maybe meet some friends lol. We’re both trans, so transphobes fuck off. But we’re very open-minded people, so don’t be afraid to say hi.

Thinking of going to Eau Claire for surprise date night dinner, any suggestions?

I will be visiting Wisconsin for the first time for Thanksgiving. I was hoping the lady and I could sneak out a day for a nice dinner in the city. We'll be in Stratford in Marathon county. Trying to surprise her by planning something somewhere I've never been lol. We will probably be in and out so. Anyone have any suggestions?

Edit: Thank you all for the suggestions. I am not sure if I will make it out to your city but if I do, I have all the recs I need. I appreciate the love!

Does anyone know what happened to The Center, the wellness place on Hwy 12?

I remember going to a great yoga class in probably 2018 at this place. This is the only information that I can find online about it: https://volumeone.org/sites/mindbody/articles/2019/02/21/208355-center-of-community
Mainly just interested in what might have happened. The studio was a very cool spot.

Junkyard related question

Does eau claire have any junkyards that let you walk through them? Like they let you in and just take the part yourself? Are there any?

Soccer Bar

Looking for a good place to watch the MN United (MLS) playoff game this Sunday at 5. I'm thinking Buffalo Wild Wings since they are an official sponsor. But, anyone have any other suggestions for a good bar to watch soccer?

Parking

Looking for some advice. Where I live doesn’t have a driveway or anything and have to do street parking. My GF and I will be in Illinois for Thanksgiving and not sure what to do with one of our cars due to the winter parking rule. Is there a free or cheap-ish parking lot/ space we could park the car for the long holiday weekend?

Haircutting lady that isn't going to cost 30/40 plus dollars for women?

I don't understand how cutting off a half inch costs that much without a tip. Thank you!
