“This place is absolutely amazing, what they do for the community is wonderful. I take many of clients to Father Gene's. Not once have I ever been told I could not just look at the clothing while my clients shop.But I have to say the hispanic receptionist I found to be very rude. Not allowing me to look at the baby clothes. And was told I needed to be registered to look at the clothing! Since when!!!! Thats was a first. Beside her, I find everyone to be kind.”
“Went to see the matinee show of "clue". Best show I have seen in some time. The sets were beautiful and very well thought out and the actors were amazing. If you get a chance to see this show, I highly recommend it. If I could, I would go again!”

1320 E Oklahoma Ave, Milwaukee“The community center has lots of support for families. The family resource center has a open play and some targeted groups as well. It is not a huge place, but there is plenty for kids to do and it's easy to keep track of them. The coffee is hot in the morning, the snacks are stocked, and the staff is very helpful.The dad's group is a great place to chat and discover dad's with similar concerns.”
11:30 AM - 12:00 AM
631 E Chicago St, Milwaukee“I was there for the Black Excellence Awards ceremony. The center is very spacious, the servers were polite and attentive, and the bathroom was very clean. The food was just okay. We had chicken with mixed vegetables and potatoes. The dessert was pound cake, and it was set on the table with the salad. By the time we finished dinner and was ready to eat dessert, the pound cake was starting to get hard. It was less than desirable. During the reception, there was plenty of coffee, but the creamer containers were empty fairly quickly. Needless to say, I didn't get coffee. They had 2 bars in the reception area, so if you didn't get a drink before you head into the dining area, water was at the table. Lastly, there was plenty of parking.”
“Absolutely superb experience doing run of show for a non profit annual meeting here last week. The entire staff was so kind and helpful. The space is immaculate, and they have everything you could dream of for having an event run smoothly.”
“This is my favorite spot in the neighborhood! I’ve found some of my favorite shoes here for 3 DOLLARS. And the ladies and the atmosphere are just lovely. ❤️??”
“Wonderful experience! They helped me get a bike for my 15-year-old after theirs was stolen. They showed me several choices and helped me understand the best size for my kid’s height. They found a lightweight bike for urban riding and did a full check and fix of the bike before I left. They have a year of free fixing after purchase! Thank you!”
“This is a well organized museum the incorporates Milwaukee history with the influx of Jews and their impact on Milwaukee. It reviews the culture they brought with them, how the community has changed over the years. It highlights several community members who have had national, and even global importance, and got there start right here in Milwaukee. We spent almost two hours reading and exploring.”
10AM - 12:30PM
2620 W Center St, Milwaukee“Came across this place while looking for something to do in Milwaukee since I’m here for a few days and visiting this place was well with the admission price. Mr. Benson had a wealth of knowledge that he was willing to share. I actually walked in on him talking to a group of local youth.
To me this was more of an exhibit than a typical museum I’m used to visiting; but to learn about the events that happened in Milwaukee that impacted black civil rights nationally was very enlightening. Glad I came and helped support the local preservation of black history!”
“Went for a concert and was surprised how neat this venue was. Very cool looking inside. Bathrooms were clean and the staff was very friendly. They have multiple bars to grab a drink.”
9AM - 5PM
10001 W Bluemound Rd, Milwaukee“I attended the flippered friends and family encounter in addition to one of the shows. It was amazing and I would do it again in a heartbeat. The animals are so well cared for, the staff is amazing - Brittany went out of her way for me. The seals and sea lions are so eager and excited to interact and show off all they know. It was one of the best experiences of my life! Ocean Connections is such a great program for helping flippered friends in need.”
“Went there for a field trip, worked at US bank. So much fun. Would love to come again. You learn how to work together, and get to be a adult for a day. Thxs JA biztown, and Hales Corners to make this happen”
“I have been biking since I was 8 and more then likely I will doing it until I'm 108. These people facilitate trails, programs and spearhead initiatives so that are state can can have as many people rolling as possible. I have been a proud member for years and will continue to do so. Become a member yourself and maybe stop on by they have great art.”
“A lot of important work in preserving our city's greenspaces is going on here. The RRF staff are all incredibly friendly and knowledgable. I'd highly recommend volunteering, even if just for a couple hours, you'll gain a much greater appreciation for Milwaukee's rivers and the effort taking place to maintain these areas for everyone's enjoyment.”
“Love the setup multiple rooms to use computers that is not over crowded it was very professional and quiet I was able to work on my resume with the option of help if I needed.Loved the environment I will always go back and utilize the workshop”
9:30AM - 3PM
7814 W Burleigh St, Milwaukee“This thrift store is a fave of mine when shopping around for little trinkets. They have a surprisingly large selection of handkerchiefs which you really just don't see much of anymore. The items that are considered vintage are in a separate section and although they are priced a little higher do sometimes go down based on whatever deals may be going on that day/week. I stumbled upon it when driving by one day but have made it a point to stop in if I'm in the area, would definitely recommend checking them out if you're on the hunt for bits and bobbles!”
“I visited for the Trans Health Fair and had a really great time. It's easy to get to D&R off the bus or by car, and the location felt safe. I'm excited to visit again.”
“I have been driving past this place forever and a day looking at the public is welcome sign so my first attempt to stop by had a bad sign, every spot in the lot was taken and it's a big lot. What I didn't know is they have a banquet hall and the bar might have had a seat for me. It's a regulars crowd and a medium size bar with a game room on the side with hi tables. Joanie was working and was super friendly with the locals giving her crap but she was a trooper. This is the best kept secret in Milwaukee because it's the cheapest bar to drink in with beer bottles and rail drinks starting at $2.50, my Gin Rickey was $2.50 to my amazement and I can't remember the last time I paid $2.50 for a cocktail. The crowd was diverse, dah cheap drinks. The food is frozen pizza, chicken strips and various breads like garlic bread. If you want bang for your drinking dollar than this is the place to go.”
“Staff here are professional, patient and nice. Anna is very nice also, she is the manager I believe. I love the fact they go on field trips every week during the summer. I feel safe taking my kids here as well.”
“Nice, clean affordable space. There could be some updates to the carpet beyond anything else. But for the space you get and your own ability to transform the space, renting this place out for your next occasion is worth it.”
“Contacted a few places about donating some leggos. They were one of few in communicating back to me. They said they could use them in their new class room. When I dropped them off the gentlemen was happy, telling me how they help the kids to learn. Glad to see people working hard to help kids learn and build life skills.”

6055 N 91st St, Milwaukee“Definitely a unique Goodwill. Everything is in large bins and not sorted. You'll have to pick through bins, but there's a lot of hidden gems. Most clothing is priced per pound so keep that in mind with heavier items. A little more work but a good chance to find some gems.”
“This is an amazing place if you want two learn a thing or to about a thing or two lol they have an amazing staff skilled, patient, kind, understanding. They work with you as long as it takes for you to learn the skills needed for yourself or your job. The entire staff is amazing. My tutor or teacher is top notch her name is Nicole. I am greatful and blessed to have her teaching me the skills and abilities needed for my line of work.”
“BBB was very helpful to facilitate communication between the business and myself. They ensured my concerns were answered and ultimately my issues were resolved! Many thanks!”
