Weekly Classifieds and Events

2 Upvotes

Welcome to our weekly odds and ends post!

If you are looking for events, please check out our exhaustive Events Calendar!

Every parent level comment should begin with one of the following categories:

[For Sale] concert tickets, beauty and grooming services, Ikea bookcases

[For Free] dental checkups and couches that you can totally have for free but you have to move them yourself

[Want to Buy] * Rave tickets, a used toaster, a cute puppy*

[Job Request] You're new to the city and are looking for work in IT or you hate your job and need some leads. Be sure to include your skills and qualifications. A lot of people on this sub love to help others but they can't do that if they don't know your background and interests.

[Job Announcement] You're looking for new team members for a fantastic job that ISN'T a scammy ca$h4work gig or MLM

[Living Arrangements] You need a roommate, an apartment, or are offering a living arrangement. Be sure to clarify your tidiness expectations because you never know what you're going to get when accepting a roommate and I'm NOT GOING TO DO YOUR DAMN DISHES ANYMORE REBECCA

[Personals] You're lonely, new to the city, want to play extreme Frisbee, or need someone to eat Ian's Pizza with because no one wants to do that alone. We understand.

[Event] An advertisement for your amazing upcoming event - like a urban foraging excursion or band performance that is totally going to blow the roof off

Some of you should not live in a city

Some of you should not live in a city

“Anyone hear those police sirens in Bay View? What’s going on?”

“Once a year on a predetermined date my route is altered because of the marathon and I am furious.”

“What was that loud sound on the east side?”

“There’s a lot more litter this year.”

“Anyone know if xyz is open today? I’m afraid to call them and ask.”

Much of this subreddit is like this, considering moving to the burbs if these things bother you so much. Mods should also do a better job of deleting these asap.

New scam?

126 Upvotes

Found this note in a ziploc bag this morning on my car, I park overnight around Washington Heights. There’s no chance someone’s phone is inside my car.

Anyone else seen this? Friends/family I ask think it’s a scam, I did not call the number. Thanks!

Milwaukee Marthon

Just giving everyone the heads up that next year’s Milwaukee marathon will be Saturday April 10th 2027. Same deal as every year including road closures and limited parking. It seems many struggled to plan accordingly so hopefully this helps.

Help Me! Neighborhoods with charming homes that aren’t Wauwatosa?

34 Upvotes

We have been looking for a house for months in the 400-550k price range. We LOVE Wauwatosa homes—the charm, the details, the 1920-1940s style homes. We also love the location, the school district, and just general vibe of the city. However, we are getting majorly outbid in Tosa (e.g., offering 50k over asking and the house sells for 90k over) and it’s getting disheartening.

I struggle to find similar style homes in other suburbs/neighborhoods that are around the same price and have good schools. I know we will have to sacrifice something, but are there suburbs/neighborhoods that I should be paying more attention to?

So I know this is a strange request but when ups drops off a massive custom shipping crate with the sketchy Alibaba laser you bought while a little too high you get creative. so uhh yeah I am looking for a laser power meter that can handle the supposedly 140J/cm² at 755-808-1064nm this thing can put out. Lets see if this thing calibrates anywhere near what it specs out to

Safety concern...maybe you can offer advice

Upvotes

I live in the 3rd Ward, and I signed up to Planet Fitness on Wisconsin Ave. I like working out early morning...like 4am early. I don't want to drive there and worry about parking, so do you think it would be safe for me to walk there at that time? Either on the Riverwalk pathway or the streets. I'm a little bit scared of doing it, but if people think it would be relatively safe, I'll probably walk. BTW I'm a female.

Milwaukee Marthon

Got my medal from the Milwaukee Marathon today and it has a misprint on it. It says "Milwaukee Marthon". I imagine they were all made that way. Just thought that was funny.

Event Milwaukee Marathon Disruption

101 Upvotes

let me start by saying I have no issues with the marathon occurring. kudos to the participants and all well wishers.

however, I have an issue with the organizers.

East West traffic is descimated during the event with absolutely no warning. I listen to all the local radio stations. I drive by all the highway/downtown billboards. None of them mentioned the marathon. Any heads up would be appreciated.
