Downtown on Election Day

I’ll be a first time voter on Tuesday!

My election site is at the Central library in downtown. I would like to get there when doors open.

Should I get there around 30-15 mins before polls open? Is the line usually pretty long once polls open?

I also recently just moved here from the Green Bay area so not sure if there is going to be protesters or such going on. Does Downtown get hectic on Election Day?

How are we going to celebrate the presidential win in Milwaukee? (Fireworks, venue event, house party, etc)

This election cycle was the most important in a generation!

Harambee neighborhood development

I'm not from Milwaukee (live in Chicago), but I was doing some Google Map tours of MKE recently and noticed the quite a bit of new development / infill going up in the Harambee neighborhood, particularly along MLK north of Locust.

It also looks like quite a bit of residential infill has been built in the last 2 years in that area, not on MLK directly but also in the residential areas between I-43 and 1st street. Some areas have gone from 50% vacant lots to nearly 100% developed. Several new business as well.

This is obviously very good to see, but I'm curious to know the catalyst behind the new development. Anything in particular?

Would be nice to see Chicago do something like this. Our blighted neighborhoods are, for the most part, being ignored and remain blighted.

Career advice needed for a young Milwaukee business professional.

On the hunt for the next challenge in my career & am scouting Linkedin 24/7. I’ve got a degree from Marquette + 1.5 yrs of sales experience & 2.5 years in brand marketing from a reputable local corporation. Long story short, it’s time for a new challenge. Struggling to decide whether or not I go back into sales or try a different side of marketing such as product or channel marketing. What advice do you have as a local Milwaukee business professional? Are you hiring? I’m keeping an open mind & would love to network as well!

Where to buy Uni in MKE?

Hi all, does anyone know if uni/ urchin may be purchased anywhere in the area? Not looking for a restaurant to have it at, but more so a grocer that would carry it?

Where to meet single 30’s-40’s people in Milwaukee?

I’m a single 40 year old guy getting back into the dating scene.

Where are people finding potential partners out in the wild?

App dating is awful, and it doesn’t seem like my age group, especially after COVID, are more out and about anymore for naturally bumping into new people.

Any advice is appreciated!

Walking around downtown Milwaukee

Hi everyone. I was born and raised in Milwaukee, and I now live in the Fox Cities area. I frequently come and stay in Milwaukee just for fun. Even when we moved away, my parents would take us to Brewer games and that. I remember feeling like Milwaukee was a magical city. I go to Summerfest and the State Fair every year. I love walking along the Riverwalk and the theater district.

Some of my friends back in the Fox Cities think I’m either “brave” or “nuts” for daring to walk around downtown Milwaukee by myself. Before my husband passed away in 2022, we came here a lot, and I loved to show him the city I grew up in. I’m 60 years old. I’ve never felt like I’m brave because I want to walk around and take things in. I just enjoy it. Do some of you that are local hear that from friends who live in different parts of Wisconsin? I think it’s kind of ridiculous myself.

I’m well aware there are dangerous parts of Milwaukee, but I don’t feel downtown is one of them. I’m always aware of my surroundings no matter where I am. I want to live my life. I don’t believe living in fear is a quality way to live. Please let me know your thoughts.

The Schlitz Palm Garden - built 1895, demolished in 1963. Now the site of The Avenue. Imagine if it were still here and Grand Avenue Mall never built.

China Lights Tickets

wondering if anyone has had luck purchasing tickets on site if tickets online are sold out? I am wanting to go this evening and can't seem to get ahold of anyone to tell me if tickets are still available. Just don't want to waste a trip all the way there if they will just turn me away. Thanks in advance!

rehearsal dinner traditional Chinese

Have a lot of time to plan (1 year) but are there any Chinese restaurants that would be good for hosting my partners and I’s rehearsal dinner in the great Milwaukee area?

My side is Chinese and my partner is white. Have any Chinese people in Milwaukee tried to plan a mildly traditional wedding/rehearsal dinner. Not a need to have for a good rehearsal but thought it would be fun.
