Hey all.. we are relocating to Milwaukee from Atlanta. We are looking to find new OBGYN for pregnancy in Milwaukee. I have seen other posts. Most of thier recommendations-

Highest preference - Aurora Sinai Second preference- Froedtert Next - Assession Colombia st marys

What do you recommend? Which of these have good facilities for birth and birth clinics. Can’t find proper photos or information on google.

Aurora and froedtert looks like small hospital. Any idea about facilities ?

Thanks in Advance.

Hey all!

I am looking for a chiropractor... any recommendations?

hello all!

I am a now-adult who spent many non-adult years indulging in ian’s. I developed a nostalgic addiction to their zesty marinara, and am wondering if anyone knows the ingredients/recipe of this specific sauce. nothing sings happy times and youth to me quite like that slightly spicy bite.

Thanks 😊😊

Hey folks - not close with family and don’t really do much celebrating during the holiday season , but that doesn’t stop me from wanting to give back. Low on cash so can’t be buying out for diaper,food pantries,etc.

Do people have recommendations for volunteer actions or opportunities on the 24th&25th? Thanks in advance.

I’d like to get my boss a gift card for a nice steak restaurant and am looking for suggestions. I’m going to spend $200/250 and that does not necessarily have to cover the entire bill.

Does anyone know of any bars that have either a sports or music themed trivia night? On the east side preferably?

Any recommendations for laser engraving or branding in the Milwaukee area?

I have a new basketball and I would like to have something simple engraved on it to easily identify it among other basketballs.

Permanent marker would be a simple solution but I would like to go this route if anybody does this kind of stuff

Hey neighbors! I’ve been really into UFOs, UAPs, alien abductions, and all kinds of unexplained phenomena for most of my life, but I don’t really have anyone to talk to about it.

I’d love to connect with someone who’s into this stuff too! Whether you’ve had your own experiences, are a skeptic, or just enjoy exploring the possibilities. It would be great to have someone to bounce ideas off of or just share theories with.

If this sounds like you, please send me a message!

Has anyone else been having issues with At&t fiber internet intermittently disconnecting and reconnecting for the last week? On my last service call they identified a problem with the line and whenever it reconnects on its own customer service is like 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️ and won't help me, they consider the problem fixed. I work hybrid and can't be slowed down by stuff like this.

Looking to upgrade my jewelry anyone know of good places with a large selection??

Hi all! I have a friend in the hospital who I want to send some books to from the local bookshop. Is there anything like instacart but for retail that y'all know of that might deliver the books to the hospital for him? I want to support local bookstores and help him get some books sooner rather than later because sometimes the escapism of a good book is what the body needs.

Thank you in advance!

Hi! My husband and I will be relocating to the North Shore soon and are in need of childcare for our young toddler. Unfortunately, most of the decent daycare facilities I’ve contacted have lengthy waitlists.

For those who employ a full-time nanny, curious what the going rate is in the Milwaukee area?

It looks like UWM offers visitor Wi-Fi. Does anyone here have experience with it? I have to work remotely for a couple of hours tomorrow and I'm thinking the UWM Student Union will be quieter than working from a coffee shop. But is the Wi-Fi fast enough for a video conference call?

I’ll be running a half — having some trouble deciding which one to run. Anyone ever run both? Need some help deciding. Thanks!

Here is my poor artists rendition. I’ve seen it on 7 different cars and I’m curious what it symbolizes. Any clues or a solid picture would be great.

Wanted to see if anyone has any recommendations for locals who do painted Pet Portraits!
Recently got some unfortunate news about our cat Squeaks and really would love to find someone to commission a painted portrait of our first baby.
I've done just some cursory google searches etc but would really love some personal recommendations if possible.
Thanks!

My partner and I live in Racine but are planning to stay in Milwaukee that weekend. We were thinking we were just going to get married at the courthouse but apparently in Racine you can’t do that. So we found an officiant and have witnesses, and we’re planning for that to be it, just us and the officiant and witnesses, but since we’re planning for early Feb it’s not like we can just go to a park and do it cuz it’ll probably be too cold. Is there any small, cheap indoor places we can rent for like a half hour for cheap, like a few hundred bucks? Is that a thing?

Looking for a place to buy Chivas gear for secret Santa. Online it looks like soccer post only carries jerseys, I’m looking more so for shirts, hats, etc.

We are planning on moving to Wisconsin to the brookfield area. Read a lot of older reddit posts that people prefer Sinai over West Allis birthing center and midwives over OB. In addition to getting recommendations for specific ob/midwife, wanted to see if these opinions are still holding true.

I am from out of state, and, my partner and I, have been interested in Milwaukee. The lower cost of living, the lake, the closeness to Chicago. I am married, no kids, and we are ready for a change. I have been seeing houses for sale around "Walker Point" for the past few months, that have sparked my interest. The closeness to downtown Milwaukee, Hispanic neighborhoods (we are Mexican/Guatemalan), and being close to the lake really seem ideal for us. More so, I have researched crime rates and my question is... Is it really that bad in Milwaukee, particularly that area? For context, we have lived in Los Angeles most of our lives (East LA) which does have a big gang precense, granted, if you keep to yourself and use common sense; you are fine. We have visited Milwaukee this past summer, and the vibrancy in that area - culturally speaking, really is appealing and we didn't see it as a bad neighborhood. With that said, for those who live in that neighborhood, or general area, what do you like and dislike? Do you feel unsafe? Thanks
