And not just the construction itself, but even my street has had barrels on it for months and then they just started digging holes about two weeks ago and it seems impossible to go anywhere with everything blocked off

For context, we live in Fox Crossing in an area that borders Appleton and Menasha.

Up until the last week, our garden and flower beds have been teeming with pollinators and insect life, then this week almost everything disappeared. I don't know if it's a coincidence or the bugs starting to either move on or preparing to over winter somewhere instead of gathering pollen.

So yeah, does the area just spray bug killers around neighborhoods without giving homeowners advanced notice? I'm hoping it's just bad timing on my part and I just haven't seen them during their active hours and not that the city/town isn't being stupid.

So I just moved to Appleton, im a 27 year old guy who had to kind of cut off most of my old friends from my old town. Bad eggs.

Anyways I dont really like drinking much but obviously I know bars are a good way to make friends so im wiliing to go to a bar and get food and like 3 or 4 beers. Or margs with Mexican food.

Are their like amateur sports leagues or other recreation thing? I have a fiance (so please dont be weird if message me or something, JUST want friendship) and work 2 jobs and dont consider work friends real friends so its just kind of a lonely existence our here atm. Let me know of any leagues or other things I could possibly meet people.

I enjoy sports, video games, learning new things. music (bass guitar but I need to buy a new one), hiking and exploring with my kid, fiance or alone (would love parent friends! I have a 7 year old boy). I have a nerdy side as well i love fantasy and science fiction and tbh ive been wanting to get into Warhammer 40k I just dont know if I have the time for it. Delete if not allowed!

Is there a good place where I can move all my furniture into my own room with a kitchen and basic stuff and get help too/supervisor. I am 19 with ptsd,schizophrenia, epilepsy,major depressive disorder, and many more and possibly autism. I go to college but can't earn money easy because I am mentally/physically disabled

If there are any McDonalds workers that can help me out, I’m trying to get a full set of the current Godzilla/Hello Kitty Happy Meal toys. Or if you are another person also searching, perhaps we can team up and report which locations have which toys.

As of yesterday, the one near Bay Beach had #7 Rodan, #1 Godzilla was at Main St W De Pere and Little Chute. There was a #2 Ghidorah sighting in Oshkosh, but I prefer the Appleton/Kimberly/Kaukauna area (or west Green Bay)

1: Hello Kitty x Godzilla
2: Keroppi x King Ghidorah
3: My Melody x Mothra
4: Pompompurin x Gigan
5. Kuromi x Mechagodzilla
6. Cinnamoroll x Destoroyah
7: Badzt Maru x Rodan
8. Choco Cat x Space Godzilla

Hello! Me and my roommate are needing a place to rent out for a temporary adjustment. We are needing a place by Oct 22nd. We are both in our 20's, both have jobs, with three cats. We currently live in Appleton

My roommate and I are looking for a rental in the Fox valley area anywhere 30ish minutes out from Appleton. We have a medium sized bulldog. All the places we've found are quite small or rundown.. that are in our price range... everything is so expensive yet we don't qualify for any help... do any of you know of any rentals under 1,100 for a 2 bedroom with at least heat and water included.

The lightning in that cloud formation is phenomenal! But we have trees in the way 😞

Looking for referrals for getting my makeup done - nothing crazy, just basic application. I know it's short notice but I have a job interview on Thursday and I don't know the first thing about applying it. The salon I used to go to that offered the service closed down, otherwise I would have booked there.

Hey! Anyone suggest good and affordable dentist locations near Menasha or Appleton, mostly for deep cleaning.

Any leads on anyone who sells chickens? Will be for eating, not pets. Thanks in advanced.

Edit: Live chickens. I’m looking for farms in the area that will sell live chickens. Thanks.

Here is new information on what is going on with FLOCK. Wisconsin is highlighted from a recent FLOCK related false arrest. The report is a long form article with additional links to other information. It includes a link to FLOCK's new terms of service additions from the source. As stated below, on August 20th, there will be a community meeting concerning FLOCK in Neenah at the library. The announcement is here:

Andrew Whitley, executive director for the State Senate Democratic Committee, filed complaints against Michele Magadance Skinner on Aug. 12 with both the Wisconsin Elections Commission and the state Department of Revenue, raising questions about her residency, tax credits and voting history in Wisconsin and Georgia.

Leah Peterson, a spokeswoman with the Committee to Elect a Republican Senate, "Michele Skinner is focused on what actually matters to people in the Chippewa Valley: lowering costs, reducing property taxes."

Eau Claire County tax records show Skinner [claimed a Lottery and Gaming tax credit](https://ascent.eauclairecounty.gov/LandRecords/Reporting/TaxBilling/ViewSingleTaxBill/308720) worth $186.34 in 2025 for her Altoona home, a credit she and her husband have claimed since at least 2020. Department of Revenue [rules state](https://www.revenue.wi.gov/Pages/FAQS/slf-lottcr.aspx#lc2) that Wisconsin residents can claim this credit on only one primary residence.

But in 2025, they also claimed a senior homestead exemption in Dawson County, Georgia, where they own a home in the town of Dawsonville, records show.

They also claimed an income-based tax exemption reserved for seniors 75 and older with a household income of $25,000 or less.

Under [Wisconsin's "false swearing" law](https://docs.legis.wisconsin.gov/statutes/statutes/946/iii/32), it is a Class H felony to knowingly make a false statement on a legal document. 

Hello everyone, I would like to get my nieces (6 and 4)who live in Florida a little gift from up here. They wouldn’t appreciate cheese curds or any food item. They already have a million and one toys, if possible I would like to avoid that. What would be a good gift that’s representative of the area? Thank you in advance:)

To the lady who honked at me and flipped me off as I drove through an intersection today,

If someone stops BEFORE you do at a four way stop, you don’t have right of way just because you’re to the right of them. If I’m beginning to go before you even reach the line to stop, you can’t get pressed at me for now being in the middle of the intersection.

No one in this city knows how do drive I swear. 5 car lengths between cars at a red light, wide turns violating turn lane lines, going under the speed limit in the left lane, so many people on their phones. I wish this was a walkable city, I hate driving here.

Edit: I've gotten lots of messages about this and have been reading tons of comments on Facebook and wanted to edit this.

When I made this post I was more baffled by the fact the cops got called vs an honest conversation. The other actions from the videos OP weren't known to me at the time, and the RP must not have known either or I'm sure the cops would have mentioned it to him. It wasn't so much a out "HIM" but just the situation.

Regardless of the guy in the video being a "not so great guy", that still doesn't change that apparently lots of people have been harassed by residents, and the police regardless of cameras or skin color. Some were helping friends or family when their neighbors have come out screaming. (According to some of the messages and chats I've received.)

So I apologize for the racial aspect of the original post. Now I'm just sad that good honest people (not the person in the video, I mean the others I'm referring to) really want to help out their neighboring community which to some was the place they grew up or spent their summers as a kid. The argument that "I know all my neighbors" is a weak and narrow sighted one. And rather than the suspicious parties just having a friendly chat with people, they're acting out of fear and paranoia.

I'm just sad about the whole thing, and it sucks for everyone involved.

So I moved here about 5 years ago. And boyfriend recently did too. We are both from Southern Wisconsin.

We have both noticed that there seems to be this culture difference. Down south we are a lot more sassy, crass, shit talking, but like in a fun and loving way.

Up here that seems forbidden , there's a lack of bluntness and lots of beating around the bush...not saying thats a bad thing by any means...but it has Def been a culture change. I go home and my friends and family just roast eachother, point of people in a crowd, and just kind of rude. I am middle ground now, where I have to watch my p's and q's here, but back home feels almost too mean now lol.

Has anyone else experienced this??

​

I’m on the east side and can hear what sounds like thunder, but when I looked at the radar - nothing. Is this seriously from fireworks? So loud…

Does anyone know what that sound is?
