As of my latest visit on 12/5/20, they are now doing curbside only. I reserve my books online, and drive over when I get the email saying they're ready. When you arrive, give them a call (the number is posted on their windows), let them know your name and library card number. They'll check out your books for you and put them on a cart outside. If it's rainy or bad weather, the cart will be inside the vestibule. Contactless and great! I really commend these librarians working hard, wearing masks all day, to provide such a bright spot to my life and to the community.

They allowed my mom to take guardianship of my daughter due to being an abused woman and being isolated. I went through a lot being an abused woman and they set me up with an amazing set of CHIPS workers as well as a nice guardian at litem who was very helpful in getting me the services I need in the best interest for my daughter. This courthouse is very nice; I'm waiting for Fond Du Lac courthouse to open their business so that I can write a review for them as well. That's my second favorite courthouse. I know the police at both locations that guard the courthouse and they are very helpful in getting you where you need to go. Thank you Washington court house!

I can only review the process to reserve park space. We're holding our wedding at Homestead Hollow…read morein Germantown.You cannot reserve space on line or via the phone. You must physically go to West Bend.....One the fist working day of the calendar year in which you wish to reserve space. While I do get that they are trying to be fair and keep it simple, it was quite the ordeal. We go there at 8 when the office opened and there was a line of 15 ahead of us. We were checked in and she used a wall calendar to check if our date was available. It was so we were ushered to line number 2. We waited for about an hour before making it to the counter where we were then given a contract. Once that was filled out double stamped and copied, off to line 3 to actually pay. The whole process took about 2 hours. It was worth is to us, the prices are great and they're pretty open in terms of use and no catering specifications, etc. But, it was very nerve wracking having to wait and see if we got the date. I do love old school methods and am far from a full on techy, I would have preferred an online system for goodness sakes.

Zero Accountability from Wauwatosa Leadership -- Not One Response Until I Went Public…read more On August 1st, I experienced an incident with a Wauwatosa Fire Department engine that likely caused permanent worsening of my tinnitus. I immediately sent multiple detailed emails -- including my personal phone number -- to: Fire Chief Jim Case - No response Assistant Fire Chief Ryan Stanwood (emailed twice) - No response City Attorney Jennifer Tate (emailed twice) - No response Mayor Dennis McBride - No response Fire & Police Commission Chair Danielle Long - No response It took a public social media post over a week later for anyone from Wauwatosa to respond -- and even then, it was Administration Assistant Chief Barbara Kadrich, who tried to spin it as me not getting "the response I was looking for," when the truth is I got no response at all from any of them. Barbara also refuses to correspond via email, meaning there's no written record -- which is unacceptable for public accountability. Every single one of these officials had my email address and phone number from day one. If they had time to talk among themselves about my post, they had time to talk to me directly. This city government is tax-funded, yet clearly believes basic constituent communication is optional. If this is how they treat legitimate concerns about safety and injury, imagine how they handle everything else. Wauwatosa residents -- remember this when these names come up on your ballot. Public service means serving the public, not ignoring them until they cause a PR problem.

Milwaukee has a lot of western suburbs, and this one is quite far from the downtown area but it's also a nice place and one with the good custard and some good food. Not bad at all. But it doesn't have Becky with the good hair.

No problem seeing and it gets better their staff instead of laughing at me when I questioned the stability of the equipment advised me that if I was having a visual issue I could actually have my eye doctor complete my VISUAL PORTION testing for me, DR could fill out a DOT form-which is good for 30 days retention at DOT OFFICE YOU CHOOSE-then go take the rest of my testing at the DOT. Go have your eye test done before your license renewal!!!

Picture the scene: sweeping Lake Michigan views, plenty of birds (including pelicans), boats cruising by, and people fishing right off the pier. There are also great photo opportunities, so bring your camera! The recently refreshed Art Deco lighthouse is a charming destination at the end of the breakwater. But this walk is not for the faint of heart! The path narrows as you get closer, so keep kids close, watch your footing, and go at your own pace. Overall, it's a worthwhile detour and a great place to take in Lake Michigan, watch boats and fishermen, and enjoy the scenery.

A sad consequence of the influx of people moving to the Oconomowoc area who like so many storied towns before it in similar situations, fail to promote and support what makes these rural towns so real and charming. Love Pribnow's as that touch stone of community and local DNA. Don't miss what the area is becoming - ordinary, common and over done. Our family of 6 and some of our kids' friends (all older) came for the fish fry and were not disapotinted. Great old school fish fry of flaky sweet Perch and White Fish accomapued by Warm Bacon Potato Salad, Potato Pancakes and tartar. Server was awesome. It was all exactly as it should be.
