Milwaukee Area

[vigilant20]

Just because there are no WI threads yet :) Anyone else in the Milwaukee area?

[chessy3]

I will be in 2 months-- freshman at UW-M!

[vigilant20]

Awesome...hope you enjoy it there :)

[MidnightBells]

I'm not (about 45-min north) but my sister is starting at UW-M with her boyfriend (although it's his second year). :)

[vigilant20]

I wonder if anyones in town for the Harley Anniversary?

If you are stop clogging up the streets! hehe

I was supposed to volunteer to sell pins for the MDA at Miller Park, but I got stuck at a training at work...which was cancelled at the last minute anyway :( They let me keep the spiffy tshirt though which is apparently supposed to be worth some money because the guy who did the sculpture at the harley hq designed it or something.

I'll be moving to Milwaukee in January to attend UWM for grad school. Literature. My boyfriend and I have been Brewers fans for years here in New Orleans. We're probably the only ones here ;)

Have fun there! If you're a Brewers fan, I'm sure you won't be as alone in that area, haha. UWM is a good school, or so I've heard. My sister's just started there and she likes it so far. :)

[Lornaa]

About 45 min to 60 min south but my fiance works in Milwaukee.

[vigilant20]

Is it just me, or are we getting heavier snow then EVER?!?!

[MidnightBells]

Is it just me, or are we getting heavier snow then EVER?!?!

Ugh, I agree. I've heard this winter will be bad. xP

[sandwich girl]

I also heard that this winter was going to be bad. Maybe worse than last year, and last year is the worst winter I can remember and I've lived here my whole life. I guess we already have had more snow than we did at this time last year. I think it's funny that the main topics in the Wisconsin thread are snow and Harleyfest. Lulz. :beer:

Anyway, I'm new to the board. Hi, I'm Jackie.

If anyone wants to read the articles I've written about
the Urban Ecology Center's Vegetarian Potluck (http://http://frontpagemilwaukee.com/site/Viewer.aspx?iid=20236&mname=Article&rpid=5593) or Vegetarian Restaurants in Milwaukee (http://http://www.frontpagemilwaukee.com/site/Viewer.aspx?iid=19643&mname=Article&rpid=1459), feel free to check them out. :bobo:

Welcome, Jackie!

Yes, I've heard this winter will be bad, also. xP Around here, I've heard that over the next two or three days, we could be getting over a foot. xP Not fun at all!

[vigilant20]

Yeah, I'm a little worried about the foot! If the forecast still says that by this evening I'm just going to ask my supervisor if I can use a day off and not have to worry about it in the morning.

I am close to Milwaukee... I live about 20 or 30 minutes west in Waukesha, but I go to Milwaukee all the time to do grocery shopping or to go out to dinner. There are more veggie friendly places to eat and shop there. :)

I haven't been brave enough to venture alone downtown to find out! That's where everything seems to be. Although there is Cafe Manna place in Brookfield that I've visited...it's a cute little place.

I grew up in North Prairie so Mukwonago, Delafield, and Waukesha were the closest cities and were all about the same distance away. Spent a lotta time hanging out there.

I live so close to Cafe Manna, but I have not been there yet. My boyfriend is an omni, so we rarely go out to vegetarian only restaurants (even though there are not many in Wisconsin anyways).

Do you still live in North Prairie?

If you want a veggie pal to go downtown with, my friends and I love to meet new people. You are more than welcome. :)

I'm in West Allis now. I'm family is still out in North Prairie, so I'm out there pretty regular. I wouldn't mind venturing out for some veggie food. I don't know anyone else who'd go with me. My family doesn't mind trying new veg stuff with me, but they aren't big city people either.

[Mrs. Skittles]

I almost thought you were my best friend for a moment. haha

She is veggie, lives in West Allis, and her family lives in Sun Prairie. I did a double take and had to check your profile. :)

I'm Vanessa btw. Nice to meet you.

[vigilant20]

Too funny :) It's good to "meet" you!
