“Took my 3 teens to see “The Nutcracker”. Performance was amazing. You will have amazing views from anywhere you sit in this theater. Drinks were easily and conveniently ordered and waiting for you during intermission.”
“I cannot express enough gratitude for Kathy’s House. The staff and volunteers have been truly amazing — so kind, compassionate, and welcoming from the moment I arrived. Their warmth and generosity created a comforting, supportive environment during a time when it was needed most. I am incredibly thankful for the care, thoughtfulness, and heart they put into everything they do.”
“I still can't believe such a place exists. I went for my first time and was blown away in a good way. I was so impressed with the staff, the layout, the offerings. You get so much each visit so I don't mind them making us wait 3 months between visits. Having fallen on hard times, I was so happy to have new (for me) clothes and shoes. Everything was in perfect condition. It was more like a regular store than a thrift store. I was most excited to get a perfectly new Kate Spade purse. Everyone wants to feel good and presentable. This is more than just a place for help with clothing, shoes, accessories...it's a boost for your spirit. I only wish I'd known of this amazing place sooner!”

“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.”

“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.”
“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.”
“LOVE this place. The volunteers are so helpful. Tons of bikes there, helmets, bike racks. Great prices and free service for a year if you purchase a bike there. Awesome place, with a mission to provide bikes to anyone who wants to ride.”
“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. ❤️??”
“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.”
“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.”

“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!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Absolutely the warmest people, so friendly and professional and welcoming in the best nonjudgmental way. I got wonderful groceries that I can really use and cook with. Lots of brand name things and nothing expired. Fresh bread, too, from Sendik's and Trader Joe's. Everything was clean and organized. The system they have is very well done, super efficient. I like that you go through and pick what you like from each section. You take a number then go downstairs and wait. The line moved so fast and everyone including the kids were well behaved. Also a HUGE big hug and shout-out to Jay, the nice young man, who says he's 18. He's proof that young men can act respectful. The media seems to jump to assumptions about young black men, but Jay is the future we need in this country. Jay's big heart and warm patient personality made my first visit to this pantry a very positive one. I will return monthly. The whole experience enriched my spirit as well as my stomach. Thank you to all the staff.
The ladies upstairs at the front entrance lit up my soul with their smiles. This location and the organization overall is a true beacon of light and hope. May God bless them!”
“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!”
“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”
“The most supportive and kindest staff ever. They always have 30+ available job opportunities printed for you to take and apply at your convenience which are updated regularly. They have been a great resource helping me tweak my resume. Along with giving me alternative of ways to search for potential jobs that fit my skill set, as I am trying to change career fields.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“I’m very impressed with ECE’s service. They were fast, responsive, and accurate. The whole process went smoothly and far beyond my expectations. Thank you for your excellent support!”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“I really appreciate the Goodwill Workforce Connection Center because I visited at the 91st and I trained with the Goodwill Workforce Connection Center one time and that truly a hiring success.”
“We have taken four rounds of private swim lessons through St Ann’s and it’s well worth the cost. Your child will get one on one attention. The pool is warm and it has a ramp for easy and less intimidating pool entry. They include diving toys and other fun strategies to keep your child interested.”
