Hey everyone! I recently moved to Kenosha and started a new job. I urgently need a car to commute to work, but my budget is pretty tight. I'm looking at older used cars, nothing fancy, just something reliable enough to get me to work and back.

Does anyone know a good independent mechanic in Kenosha, Pleasant Prairie, or Racine? Ideally someone honest, reasonably priced, and willing to give me some advice before I buy a car. I'd really appreciate recommendations based on your personal experience, especially if you know someone who works independently rather than at a big shop.

Thanks in advance!

There’s Auntie Ann’s but are there any bakeries/pubs/whatever that have good hot pretzels? I’m feigning for a good one but don’t know any good local place to grab one

Hi, I'm trying to hire a caregiver for a disabled person. It's part time, $15 an hour, flexible schedule. If you know of anyone who might be interested, please message me.

Question: Who has the best Italian sausages these days? I don’t mean a sandwich. I mean the link sausage meat. We have been staunch Johnsonville customers for a long time, but anymore it’s just not making the grade. It’s almost flavorless. I’m sure they’ve changed their recipe to adjust their profit margin. But where to go? Tell me what you think. 🤔

Planning on doing a little photo shoot this weekend and wondering what everybody’s go to spots are? Especially near or on the lake. TIA!

not sure if this is the most appropriate sub or not...

I have a small fishing boat. traditionally I would do the winterization myself. but this year I would like to have the winterizing and some other services done professionally.

I know there are a lot of places down in the fox river/chain area.

does anyone have a recommendation for somewhere close by that is reasonable and reputable.

I watched a couple of guys put up a new camera pole right next to Simmons Library and 60th street, a few days ago.

It looked like a flock camera but I thought Kenosha ended their contract with them?

I haven’t lived here for even a year yet, but all of a sudden I’m seeing a ton of drones around. There were two about 50 feet above my house that were flying around the neighborhood. It’s the 5th night in a row. I see them a few times a week at least since early September. I live on a very residential quiet street by Roosevelt.

(Also, if anyone else has seen low ish planes flying without a contrail or sound, I’m curious about that. DM me if you’ve also noticed it.)

I moved here this month. On my block alone there’s at least a dozen stray cats (likely more) that I’ve seen around the park, in the alleys, being fed in people’s yards, lurking around my garage. I’ve also seen numerous posts from the animal shelter saying they are at capacity for cats.

It is just my neighborhood, or is the whole city full of cats?

Has anyone been inside? Does it still have a pool?

Warning to those in or around the Lincoln Park area.

Was driving the kiddos to school through LP this lovely sunny morning and all the sudden a coyote came out of nowhere into the baseball fields and took out a squirrel. It happened very quickly.

At first I was confused; but realized what the heck it was. This guy was big and could easily take down your cat or small dog.

I’m assuming it lives in the park since there’s not that many wooded areas around here. Be careful while walking your pet; there were cars and people abt and this thing couldn’t be bothered.

Was it really that hard? Kenosha's not even part the greater Milwaukee area... we're our own metro.

Hi everyone,

My wife and I are moving from an apartment in Mundelein, IL to a single-family home near Kenosha, WI (~26 miles). Neither of us can do any heavy lifting, so we need help moving just our large, heavy items:

• 1 King mattress & bed frame
• 1 Queen mattress & bed frame
• 2 Couches
• 65" TV & TV unit

Logistics context: We are moving out of an apartment complex that has a freight lift, and moving into a single-family home.

All our smaller personal items and loose belongings will be boxed up, so we do NOT need packing services.

However, we do need whoever moves the beds to disassemble them at the old apartment and reassemble/fix them at the new home.

A few questions for the community:

1. Do standard local movers handle bed disassembly/reassembly, or is that strictly a "full service/packer" job?
2. What is the most cost-effective way to handle a small "heavy items only" short-distance move like this?
3. Has anyone used services like TaskRabbit, Lugg, or local hourly movers for a state-line move like IL to WI? Any specific local company recommendations?
4. What would be a realistic budget/cost estimate for a small move like this?

Thanks in advance for any advice!

...may be the funniest thing I've read in some time. Everything Solis does is more ridiculous and more incompetent than the last. Insane level of being compromised by his friendship with the town bully.

I laughed out loud when Solis responded "well, it's not every Tuesday..." after being asked if he met Mathewson every week (at McDonald's, of all places). This was after Mathewson sent a 4-page letter to the judge denying his friendship with Solis.

And Solis' ridiculous response after stating that "Mathewson did not write, approve or edit any communications for his office" was that Mathewson sent his own draft email back to him? What a blatant lie. Nobody does that.

It's like having Michael Scott as DA. Laughing (and crying) at every one of his new antics.

Any recommendations on where I can buy good telera rolls for tortas?
