Repair Shops for shock/strut replacement

I have a SUV that needs new shocks and struts. I want to install Bilstein shocks instead of OEM. My regular garage will only install OEM shocks and they charge just about as much as the dealership would ($$$$).

Does anyone know of any shops in/around Waukesha that will install shocks & struts I buy online?

Best Breakfast Spots?

I just moved to Waukesha County - where are some of the best breakfast places? I'm close to 94 and Sawyer Rd and would like to stay sort of around there. I've already been to Lumbar Inn and PineCone Inn.

Can we call in for one night parking?

Just recently moved to a townhome in Waukesha. The landlord said we can park overnight without issue on the streets. Neighbor told us we need a parking permit.

Googled it and found out that is indeed true. I only saw 3 night parking permits and more. I have friends from out of town coming at the end of the month and was wondering if it’s like Milwaukee where you can call in for one night parking or are we just SOL and gotta get the 3 night parking permit?

Tattoo places

Hey all!

I’m looking to get a tattoo done. What I wanted to know was if anyone knew of any places that don’t care what you have written on you? It’s nothing offensive/racist/homophobic/etc. None of that but I’ll admit it will be weird to people on the outside. TMI—— it’s a certain kink I’m finally discovering and am enjoying so far! I know most wouldn’t understand or just don’t know in general that I think will have them questioning why and not wanting to do it. It’s not somewhere that is easily seen by the sun either.

Anyway! If anyone has any recommendations please let me know!

TIA!

Surveyor recommendations

I’m looking for an affordable surveyor for a boundary survey in the city of Waukesha. I’ve been reaching out to a few already but looking for recommendations from people who have had this done recently (and the price you paid if you don’t mind sharing).

City of Waukesha fence install question

I’ve looked online but can’t really find regulations when building a fence in the city of Waukesha. Google seems to think no permit is required, does anyone know if that is correct? And how far from the property line it must be?

Barstow and Banks parking lot

I noticed there's a lot on Barstow and Banks that's against the river walk that lots of people park in but it has private property signs on some lights poles. However it seems unattended to and the lot is in poor condition. Does anyone have any information on who owns this lot? I assume it's not city owned.

33M Moving up there soon, any recommendations for temporary housing?

Hi, so I'm leaving my hometown at long last, and I've decided to choose Waukesha on account of being closer to family. I have some degree of savings, so I won't be living out of my car, but iirc, since apartment complexes want proof of employment, I won't be able to acquire an apartment until I can secure a job. Can anyone recommend me some kind of extended stay hotel or some kind of apartment that would accept a deposit right away? Fairly flexible with options since no criminal record, no drugs, no pets, etc.

Best regards, A 33 year old soon to be former Okie

Police chase on Meadow Brook

Just 20 min ago a gold van came shooting down Meadowbrook onto Northview Rd - any news about it? It ran into my neighbors lawn, flew up the side, then kept driving down Northview Rd going west.

24F looking to make new friends

Born and raised in Waukesha, but I went to uw madison & lived in Madison for 6+ years. I’ve moved back in with my parents to save money I would otherwise be spending on the crazy rent prices everywhere. All my previous HS friends have moved on and created their own families and friend circles. I feel very lonely. Very isolated. It’s beginning to affect my mental health.

I would appreciate if anyone could direct me to places where I could socialize and meet new people? My interests include: reading, cooking classes, movies, walking/hiking, music/karaoke/dancing, going to bars/clubs, bonfires, etc.

I guess I’m just looking to build my community here. Any help is appreciate :) or if anyone has similar interests and/or finds themselves feeling the same way, let’s connect!
