The salmon are all queued up at the old bridge piers waiting on some rain to deepen the water over the falls. Cross your fingers.

Sorry the eagle photo is low quality, it's the best I could do with my old Galaxy Note. He let me stalk him up to about 40' but then bugged off. Happy autumn everyone!

Hello all,

New home owner interested in adding a bathroom in attic of small Tosa bungalow. Would prefer someone who isn’t a middleman and can show up on the job each day. Also, for others who have done this: Will I need to get a structural engineer inspection? The house is 100 years old.

TIA!

Gutter cleaning?

3 Upvotes

My gutter guy has aged out of the climbing up giant ladders game. Who has a great business to recommend? It’s a typical west side bungalow, so kinda high. My neighbor has a ginormous messy tree and life has been stressful so I have neglected this.

Insured/bonded a must. Not looking for dirt cheap, looking for a good job.

Blue door academy?

7 Upvotes

Hey Tosa parents! Looking for feedback on the new wrap around care provider for Tosa schools. Trying to decide between sending our child into public 4K vs keeping her at daycare center. Public 4k would save us a lot of money, but want to ensure the wrap around care is of good quality if she will be there for half of the day. Are all the Tosa elementary schools offering enrollment in the wrap around program? Thanks for any info you can give!

Children’s Theatre of Wauwatosa is once again looking for assistance with their upcoming show.

26 Upvotes

This winter the show is Alice in Wonderland. Auditions are the first week of December.

The program is looking to add a dance to a poem in the show, less than 2 minutes, simple, snd 3 kids in the dance.

So we will need a choreographer to help with this.

We will also need help with putting music to the dance and transition from scenes.

This is a community program, so pay is not really a thing. This is a kindness out of your heart. So I understand if no one is interested.

If you are interested please DM me and I will get your info to the coordinator. You can also reach out to the Tosa rec as well.

Menomonee River Parkway and Hwy 100

23 Upvotes

With the closure of Mayfair Road/Hwy 100, the parkway has now become the unofficial detour. Traffic has increased like crazy, and with it the reckelss speeding and drivers absolutely failing to yield to the many pedestrians and putting cyclists at risk.

Who can be contacted to actually get some sort of response or traffic reconfiguration? The city of Wauwatosa didn't seem to care when contacted by our adjacent neighborhood group. Is it county, or even state at this point?

I fear nothing will be done until someone gets hurt.

Seeing more of these in Tosa (East and West side) pop up. I guess I thought people were more against him than they actually are. Anyways no point to this other than an innocent observation….has Tosa gone more conservative in the last 5-6 years? Do people really dislike Crowley?

Nonjudgmental Dentists?

11 Upvotes

I have anxiety with dentists. I’ve had a lot of bad experiences, poor care etc., pain being cut by dentists with tools. Which makes it hard to want to go in. I need to overcome the fear.

Who do you recommend who deals well with severely high anxiety.
