Serving 20-25 people for a holiday party and we don’t want to cook. We are looking for good restaurant catering options/experiences you have had in Waukesha/Brookfield or Lake Country areas. Either pizza/pasta/beef type, or maybe Mexican. They are not super adventurous eaters. Any recos?
Hi all, I am trying to find a bottle of Fernet Branca or Averna Amaro (preferably both) somewhere in the Delafield/Pewaukee area. Have tried multiple grocery stores (PigWig, PickNSave, etc) and Brews liquor store on Capital Dr. No luck. Where’s the best source for liquor etc beyond standard bottles, please? (Does not need to be open right now, just trying to get some this weekend). TIA
Are there any musical open mic nights in or around Waukesha that you enjoy?

Has anyone seen any plows operating so far?
Thanks
Tomorrow my company gives all employees a single frozen turkey for Thanksgiving. I would prefer to donate mine to the less fortunate. I called Jeremy house but I can't get a hold of anybody. Would anybody be able to recommend somewhere I can donate a frozen turkey to help feed the homeless or a family in need?
Update: Jeremy / Hebron House called me back and I was able to donate it to one of their shelters! Thank you all for the suggestions on where to go.. very good information to have for the future!

Does anyone have any recommendations for a dentist in the area (or even Pewaukee area) that accepts medicaid?? I know that Dental 360 does, but I've been having issues with them. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance
I need help. Between getting fired and my car immediately breaking down on me, hindering my ability to fond a new one, I don't know what to do. Is there anyone in the area that could come take a look at my car and help me figure out what exactly is wrong with it? I have reason to believe it's the alternator. Dm me.
Hi,
I am new to this area.
I am looking for just a lap swim pool in the Waukesha-Pewaukee-Brookfield area (not needing a full gym membership).
I live in Brookfield and Brookfield Central High only opens to community lap swim once on Monday night (about $20 a month).
My goal is to have another place to swim once or twice more in a week.
Thanks!
Ready to sell my house. Where's a good condo complex, or even neighborhood, in Waukesha that has a vibrant community?
I am new to the area and wondering if there’s some sort of online sort of singles meet up that I could use to meet people. Not a huge fan of bars.
My kids got one of these each for Halloween.
He also has on a garbage bag.
To pwn the kids I guess, for Tony Hinchcliff's racist joke.
Hey everyone, sorry if this post isn’t allowed but I have some kittens who are looking for a new home. They will be 8-weeks on this upcoming Monday and I’d love to be able to rehome them myself instead of taking them to HAWS (ultimately if I have to I will take them in). Feel free to comment under here or message me directly if interested!
Hello everyone! I have been searching for a Black Forest cake for my birthday next month but haven’t been having much luck. Does anyone know where I can find one? Thank you in advance!

Head to myvote.wi to check if you’re registered. It takes 30 seconds so you could do that in line or something.
Also, there’s a state referendum to vote for. If passed, it will change the state constitution in a way that would disallow those living in places not their current voting district to have their votes purged. This includes college students who stay in dorms. It uses the word ‘resides’ which doesn’t technically have a strict definition according to our constitution (as opposed to ‘resident’ which has a very clear definition), meaning that the change to the state’s constitution would be easily twisted to disenfranchise large groups of people.

Exactly the title, doesn't need to be in Waukesha, and I am 21
Anyone have a pic of the 70’s-80’s Gene Elder tow trucks? Dodge if I’m not mistaken, flames on the front, mag wheels. Supercool.
I have spoken with the missing man’s sister, she and their mom are coming from Indiana to get his dog from HAWS and to search for him, so they are not familiar with our area at all. They are also getting conflicting info on where his dog was found, so they have no leads on where to start looking for him. If you have any information, please contact:

LOST CAT UPDATE: Tokki is home! After 8 days (almost 9) out in the world, a kind stranger was walking her fur babies & saw his flyer that we just hung at 300pm the same day. Only a few moments later she found him meowing on the corner only a block from our home, where I had searched many many times. He’s pretty skinny, has a gash on his leg, but overall he’s happy, healthy, and thirsty! He’s snoozing away, and I couldn’t be more happy and grateful, my heart feels healed.
