Food Forests

Grocery prices are painful currently. How would everyone here feel about using Kenosha land to establish food forests?

(For those who are unfamiliar, it’s a lot what it sounds like. It’s a forest specifically established to feed people, using natural landscape and native plants to create a self sustaining forest packed with food forests the community)

Looking for a good CPA

I’m new to the Kenosha area and want to get a CPa this year for taxes. I know some can be kind of sketchy or not the best so wondering if anyone has a good person they use for taxes and if you’ve been able to get good refunds through them. We are married without kids and have a home and small business so lots of moving pieces.

TIA for any help!

Carpenter Recommendation

I’d welcome a carpenter recommendation for a couple projects in my kitchen. I’d like to relocate a doorway and close two kitchen windows and replace with one new window. Has anyone had a really positive experience with a talented carpenter?

I plan on making calls today and Tuesday and hoping to have them done before the end of February.

Thank you!!

Anyone into journalism in town?

I realized after getting half way through my degree and that I don’t want to be a Web Dev the rest of my life. I don’t even really want to do it for more than a few years, if we’re being honest. I’ve made my peace with it, and am determined to go into the field but not stay for long.

I truly want to help people, and I have always been a conversationalist and amazing at getting people to open up and explain their way of thought and the actions. I think the world needs legitimate individuals who will report the truth and press those who lie to us for answers, instead the current landscape that I’m sure I don’t need to dive into.

Keeping it short, I want to be a journalist and I have no idea where to start. I’m asking locally for anyone who is in the field and would maybe give me some pointers or push me in the direction I need to be.

Anyone else see Starlink this morning

This was taken in northern Kenosha facing east at about 5:10am. Not a great photo, but each satellite was about as bright as Mars.

Part time jobs?

I (46F) just moved to Kenosha and am looking for a part time/ full time job. I wanted to avoid a big corporate chain but I can’t find any local small businesses looking for help.

I am currently a home healthcare worker and cook for a family member and I have previous experience in serving, cooking, and restaurant management and everything that goes along with that.

I’m not sure if I want to go back into restaurant work but I’m not sure what else I’d even be able to do. I define do NOT want to do healthcare anymore.

Tbh I’m pretty terrified to get back out there after three years caring for my family member. I’ve lost all confidence in myself and I feel too old to start over. Any help would be greatly appreciated. It was so hard to even make this post. Thanks in advance Kenosha friends!
