Looking for a local tailor or similar to alter a wool greatcoat. Any recommendations?

Looking for a tailor or seamstress to help with an alteration. I have an old army surplus greatcoat. It’s a Nice thick wool coat but it has a very tight fitted cut above the waist and I’m hesitant to clip out the folded stitches myself.

Hoping to find a shop that can alter this for me so I can wear bulky sweatshirts under it still. Fits me well otherwise and the arm length is good. Just want a little more torso freedom. Thanks in advance!

Things to do for someone in their 20's that isn't the bar.

My son (22M) moved back to Kenosha. He is shy and looking to meet friends. He isn't a fan of the bar scene and works 3rd shift W - Su. What other places can he go to in or around Kenosha?

Just wanted to commend the city on the holiday lighting beginning up on 7th Ave, and continuing on through downtown. Looks nice.

City Tree Lighting and Activities in Downtown

There is so much going on this week in Downtown and I feel like not everyone knows.

The new mayor and the downtown Business improvement group teamed up this year and leveraged downtown business owner dollars to SIGNIFICANTLY improve the City Tree Lighting Ceremony and overall activities and aesthetic this week.

They moved the tree lighting from near the museums to Veterans Park (Across from the harbor and Anna's on the lake where Peanut Butter & Jam and other big activities happen)

Almost every business in Downtown is offering deep deals and/or activities

The streets are actually lit!

I can't type it all out but the info is all on the Downtown website here: https://godowntownkenosha.com/blog/lights

From now until NYE is so important for our independent businesses. Things slow to a near halt during Janauary, February, and March and these holiday events and the weeks between is where our locally owned businesses can earn enough to survive.

I Encourage you to skip the mall, and come hang with the Downtown Kenosha community. Even if you don't shop or dine, we want to see our people here enjoying all the lights, concerts, reindeer, and everything else going on.

There is also a Tree lIghting at Petrifying Springs on Saturday, but despite much confusuion, that is not the City Tree lighting, It's going to be a great event, but the official, big, public tree lighting and activities are all in Downtown Friday night.

Who did the vampire LARP bite assault back in the ‘90s?

So among the live action roleplay community in Kenosha, those who were active back in the late ‘90s tell tale of someone who was playing a vampire LARP outdoors at night, got too into character, and bit an innocent passerby.

This is widely known as fact among the larp community, and is the main reason why Kenosha doesn’t allow outdoor live-action roleplay pretty much anywhere in town.

But nobody has answered me or my friends straight when we ask “who did the biting?” Firstly, does anyone remember this being in the news back in the day? Is it real? Secondly, do you know any specifics about the incident in question?

Where to smoke cigars in the winter?

Are there any good bars to smoke cigars "indoors"/somewhat covered from the elements?

I know Church & Market has had the roof open with heaters but not sure if that will keep up now that it's getting colder.

Thanks!

Favorite Weekly Food Deals in the City of Kenosha?

Aside from Taco Tuesday what else do you recommend? I just have trouble making dinner after I pick up the kids and get out of work. I would love to treat us every few weeks without breaking the bank. Thanks in advance.

The Final Girl Bar

Hey y’all! Have you seen this awesome horror movie themed bar? They’re so cool! The drink prices are really reasonable and the food is insanely good! I’ve never had such super crunchy and fresh wings like that! Looks like they have all kinds of events coming up too. I’m excited there’s something new and interesting in the area!

Date night ideas?

My husband and I have lived here for 4 years, we’re usually home bodies and haven’t really gotten out much 😂 especially bc our first year here, everything was shut down for COVID

Any ideas for date nights here? We were looking at the comedy club, bar bingo, but wanted to crowd source some ideas :)

Streaming WITI-TV Fox 6?

So I've cut the cord. I have several streaming services, including Paramount+. This gives me CBS in Milwaukee -- the same feed as OTA. However, my digital antenna has a difficult time with Fox 6 . Sometimes it's solid, but sometimes it's in and out and in and out, and sometimes not there at all. I'd like to pick up another stream like (Paramount+) where I can receive a solid Fox broadcast -- especially when the Packers are on. I've downloaded Fox Local, but that's pure news feeds. I've looked for a WITI-TV app, but no dice. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Simmer pot

Apologies if this may seem a bit of an oddball question, but has anyone been able to find a clear glass simmer pot here locally? I’ve been having positively a doozy of a time getting my hands on one.

Best option for disposal of a couple yards of gravel

Hey everyone, I'm looking around for the best option to have a bunch of gravel picked up from my property. I am doing some landscaping and will be removing 1-2 yards of gravel. I don't have a truck, so I need to have it picked up. I'm willing to put it in a pile or in a bin of some kind.

I know I can just rent a dumpster, but having to lift thousands of pounds of gravel 6 feet to get it into the dumpster sounds like a nightmare, so I'm looking for other options.

Anyone have suggestions for a pick up service? We live off HWY 50 near Journey Church.

Thanks!

Look for a Doctor that worked in one of these buildings.

I’m looking for any information anyone has about a psychiatrist that worked in one of these buildings. These are the medical offices that are on seventh Avenue in Kenosha Wisconsin across the street from the bandshell park.

This would have been in the late 80s early 90s and she was a skinny short woman with short dark hair. She may have been a child psychiatrist or just a regular psychiatrist that treated everyone. I believe I went there for an attention deficit evaluation, but I cannot remember. Honestly, I can’t remember anything about her, her office, visits it’s kind of creepy, so any help would be greatly appreciated.
