Today is the last day to VOTE!

As of Saturday 60% of registered voters in Wauwatosa, already voted!

Way to go Tosa! Let’s get that number to 95% or even 100%!

And please, only vote once.

The cow did not vote, he is just holding my sticker.😁

General Contractor

Can anyone recommend a solid, reputable general contractor? Thinking of of a kitchen remodel and not sure where to start, but I'm told having a good contractor on standby is always a good idea.

Thanks neighbors!

Residential Snow Removal?

Does anyone have any recommendations for companies that do residential snow removal? My Dad is disabled and I am looking to help him get something setup. I google searched a bit but a lot of the companies only do commercial and most of the reviews on Yelp are for lawncare or are 5+ years old.

Please don’t give them more to suck

We’re still paying another decade plus for an existing referendum. So much vitriol about vote yes or the kids will suffer.

No matter what, district is top heavy and so myopic on serving everyone that all suffer. There is no plan about how improvements will actually happen. As a matter of fact, there is a clear programming regression: Parents make final plea ahead of Tosa school board decision to sunset STEM school, programs https://www.tmj4.com/news/milwaukee-county/parents-make-final-plea-ahead-of-tosa-school-board-decision-to-sunset-stem-school-programs

The current board and admin are failing our community and children. They shouldn’t get more money to stay on this trajectory.

Rather, they should all be replaced. Get some competent people in there who can plan and make informed decisions that DO move us forward.

Moving to Wauwatosa!

Hello! My wife and I just got an offer accepted on a house we love near 61st and Lloyd. We’re very excited! We’ve spent some time walking around the Pabst Park neighborhood and parts of East Tosa and really like it overall, but wanted to hear from people who live there currently too. What do you like about it? Do you feel safe overall/is crime much of a concern? We’re first time home buyers moving from an apartment in a different area of Milwaukee County. Looking forward to getting to know the area more!

Do any Tosa neighborhoods have decent trick or treating today?

Seems like most neighborhoods do Saturday or on the day of. Are there any that have good trick or treating during the “official” Tosa trick or treat time of Sunday from 1 to 4?

What are these mountains to the sky for? Are they building us sledding hills?

Permitting for home renovation

My husband and I have a 100 year old 1.5 story house in which the second floor is only partially finished. Why? No idea. There's two functional completely finished bedrooms up there that were clearly finished when the rest of the house was, but there's a giant open unfinished space you walk through to get to them. My husband wants to finish off this space, and he is well equipped to DIY most of it. Not a contractor but works in engineering and his family built their own house and regularly flips homes up north. We're new(ish) to Tosa and I'm wondering what kind of permitting we're looking at. This would increase the functional square footage of the house so we want to do it right and not be hit with back property taxes or something, but we're not interested in spending 200k to get contractors to do the thing either.

Yoga recommendations?

Looking to do yoga maybe once a week or so. Would love a morning class before work, so ideally something that starts at 6 or 6:30am. Any recommendations in Tosa?

My partner and I are looking for short tern furnished housing in tosa. She is working a contract at froedert. Eventually, we will look to buy.

We are looking for short-term housing options. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Work From Home Question

Hi all!

I work from home a few days a week. I like the freedom, but like to work around people. Keeps me focused and not distracted or napping. I normally go to coffee shops, but I dont like to spend the money. Any suggestions on where I could go that is quiet and free (that is not my home lol). A few notes about my situation:

  • I don't have a big setup: just a laptop
  • I'll normally take a cooler of lunch for the day
  • My work day is from 8:30AM-4PM
  • I do not normally have to take calls, maybe one a day. I'm not talking on the phone much at all.

Let me know your thoughts. Thanks for taking the time to read this!

Rent increase

I live in an apartment along W North Ave. My landlord wants to increase the total rent+parking by 7.3%. Is this the norm in Tosa?
