My family is coming for a visit and their son is in a wheelchair. Are there any local restaurants that would be accessible? I'm thinking about how he gets in and out of the restaurant, access to the bathroom, table seating etc.

Thanks so much for any ideas you have!

Just here to share some light about what happens after election day.

Voter participation is entered by hand at the clerks office. There isn't anything on your ballot that connects it to you. You don't sign your ballot, there isn't a bar code, that's for voter confidentiality. It is not recorded anywhere HOW you vote. The machine you put your ballot in is basically a giant abacus, all it does is count.

Where you're issued a ballot, you sign a poll book. A voter number is put next to your name. At the end of the election. The ending voter number in the poll book should match the number of ballots the machine says it has. This is another check to make sure someone hasn't voted twice. If they don't match, we need to find out why. If there is a mismatch, it's usually because a number was skipped or the same number was issued twice. Poll workers are people.

There is a poll book per ward. Once we are sure all the numbers match for that ward, we will scan the barcodes next to the names to record voter participation.

"I voted absentee, saw my ballot now it's gone." What you saw was that the clerks office received your ballot, it's filed and ready to be counted. The counting of absentee ballots doesn't begin until 7am on election day, when the election actually starts. This is another check to stop a duplicate vote. Your absentee ballots are counted twice by hand against the issued and returned absentee ballot list and then again when fed through the ballot counting machine. These numbers must match. We're counting ballots, not the races. Once the numbers for the entire ward, absentee voters and in-person voters, match, election participation will be scanned. Again by hand and there are over 90 wards in Kenosha.

"I voted early at City Hall" Wisconsin technically doesn't have early voting, it's in-person absentee voting, IPAV. So you're in the same pool as the people who did mail in ballots. Your vote wasn't counted until Tuesday.

Hope this answers some questions!

My kids school is locked down and theres a helicopter circling the area. Anyone know what's going on?

I don’t wanna go to a regular barber because they usually specialize in using clippers and doing fades/short hair. I have semi long hair that I need trimmed down with scissors to get a super good middle part flow look.

Relocating to Kenosha, WI. Where is the safest, best schools in the county?

I’m looking for everyone’s favorite indoor play ideas in the area for a 3 yr old. I’m looking for indoor gyms, book reads… something for my kid to meet other kids.

I voted early absentee and was tracking my ballot. Last time I tracked it before going to bed it said it had been received the day I early voted. I checked again tonight and it defaults to 'request absentee ballot' - assuming for the next election (April 1 2025) with no more info available about the 2024 vote. Is this normal?

Hello! I am looking for someone to teach me how to use a router for my woodworking projects. I’m on the Southside of Kenosha. Can anyone help me?

Hey!!!

So long story short, I moved here from Indiana and am unfamiliar with Emissions testing and that whole process. I then did something that landed me in KCJ for the weekend. When I got out of KCJ 3 or 4 days passed and I got pulled over by the same cop , same time, and like 500ft from the first place (I was driving this time not even doing anything). He pulled me over and told me some BS that I didn't have a license.... I provided him with the papers he wants then his whole story changed to "oh uhhhhh maybe it's your plates that's suspended".

I remember reading in my mail that the kenosha bmv sent me a letter saying "You failed to get emissions.... You have 30 days until the date printed on this letter tovet emissions"

I can't find this letter now (I'm homeless so that's kinda on me ig) but I'm praying and hoping that someone out there has gotten a similar letter!?!? Maybe someone has a copy of theirs!? It would literally be a life saver if you could help me out.

Thank you all 💕💕

I have a serious fruit fly problem. I've had a problem for the last 2 years. But it feels like 3. I cannot get rid of these buggers.

Can someone please recommend an exterminator in the area? I'm not looking to bug-bomb the place. They are mostly in my kitchen. But I was sick for the last 7 days, and my wife really let it go, and now I feel like I'm in a horror movie.

I just want to talk to a guy. Please don't tell me to put out vinegar, or zivo flu trap, it or soap and beer, or ANYTHING. I want the name and number for a guy.

I recently went from Verizon to Mint, and find connecting to the internet when I'm out and about isn't as good as when I was with Verizon. Mint is owned by T-Mobile, now, and I see the coverage is 3rd place compared to AT&T and Verizon. Anyone happy with their connectivity?

My daughter is considering going to Carthage College next year for business/fiance. Is it worth the money? She has almost a perfect 4.0 GPA now and has other merit scholarship offers at other schools. Also, is it considered a safe campus?

Hey y'all, keep extra vigilant about people switching lanes while you're driving or turning near them. I've seen some potentially dangerous situations recently when folks have decided to switch lanes in the middle of intersections and collisions were missed but just barely.

Any recommendations for entry door replacement? I got a quote from Andersen and it was insane- like $10k insane. This is just a standard door with 2/3 glass, a side light, and a storm door. I have not heard great things about Home Depot, so looking for someone local & trusted.

TIA!

We want to install one of those tower antennas I’ve seen on many houses. Does anyone know of a company that installs them?

I got young kids and if it rains I'm looking for alternative options like indoor places that give candy

I’m curious what kind of daily supplements y’all are consuming. It’d also be helpful if you can share your gender as some are marketed towards specific demographics .

I’m looking to incorporate some daily supplements to the routine and wondering what people are using, why, and if there are any complaints. Thanks!

Does anyone know if they have closed 😭

You all probably know the case. Twenty seven year old Bobby Curry went drinking at Erv’s Bar, now MoeMoe’s, in Kenosha. Even then they called it “formerly Erv’s” because the place didn’t even have a name during that year.

Bobby, a Black man, got into an argument with two White men. Things were seemingly resolved, and the men bought Bobby a drink. Everyone seemed to think things were ok. The three left together. Nobody ever saw Bobby again. Bobby had warrants so police wrote him off as a bail jumper. Finally they came around to the obvious.

Here’s what you might not know. Bobby had twins on the way with his girlfriend. Bobby had a troubled past (linked it all on my page here) but with kids on the way, he was looking to turn things around. He maybe never got the chance.

If you know where Bobby is, please tell authorities! theres info on the page I’ve linked. His family is begging for him to come back. what I want to know is… who were those white guys. Are they alive? Did police question them enough, properly, AT ALL? no shade here on law enforcement but if you think someone skipped you may not work too hard to find their possible killer.

This case is the very last one in Wisconsin with updates on NamUs, the national database. it’s been too long, let’s find Bobby.
