I write code (#JS, #VueJS, #php, #dotnet), take photos, and travel. I live in #Milwaukee, #Wisconsin. I created @mcts, @TheHop, @GMMKE, and https://toot.works.

I am also @steinbring on Pixelfed and @joe on Mastodon. You can follow my blog at @joe.

My opinions / shoes are my own.

I have been following @milwaukee and @wisconsin from kbin.social and I noticed that starting around a week ago or so, I can post to the communities but new posts and comments don't make it from midwest.social to kbin.social. Is there a federation issue? Was something recently broken?

@quortez I can

I'm hoping that finishing the lakefront line allows them to start building momentum for a third line. (Maybe from the intermodal station to the convention center or MATC?)

I've never been to the original but I've driven past it often. I have high hopes for the new one.

"will be served by clean diesel buses until the batteries have been replaced"? Somebody invented a way of powering a diesel bus without burning diesel?

I just discovered that park recently. It's pretty nice.

I don't go to Lowe's or Home Depot (I just like Ace more) but I know that CVS and Walgreens do that a lot.

Who's got some cash so I can buy The Sentinel Building? https://urbanmilwaukee.com/2023/08/10/four-milwaukee-buildings-headed-to-auction-block/

@brennansv @jeramey Sometimes it's for the best if someone with deeper pockets can keep it maintained.

I was working on the website for the Mandel Group around 2012. At the time, they were transitioning from building mostly condo developments to building nothing but apartment developments. I was told that if a developer builds a 300-unit condo development, you will have folks who buy before the building is completed, but half of those units could be on the market for years. Needing to sit on ~$30mil worth of inventory could keep them from being able to build the next development. If they build apartments instead, they can rent them out right away and start on the next project.

I'm not sure how you solve that issue.

The Milwaukee Air and Water Show is this next weekend. Who's going? (mkeairwatershow.com)

The Milwaukee Air & Water Show, presented by Waterstone Bank, continues to be Wisconsin’s premier free, family event of the summer and one of the top air shows in the Midwest. As a non-profit, 501c3 organization, we support the local economy, our Armed Services community, and bring visitors to Milwaukee to experience the best...

Different strokes for different folks. I'm guessing that you won't be at the EAA AirVenture July 24 – July 30 either, then.

@mattkronberger @michaelsteeber When I was at The Corners of Brookfield the other day, I saw them putting the sign up above the door for Sweetgreen. It looked like it wasn't too far from opening.

They at least won't be in September.

Yeah, same here. I think that I overdid it when I worked in the Third Ward and would go there over lunch.

Anodyne Coffee Roasting Co. sold to FairWave coffee collective (www.bizjournals.com)

“FairWave offered a unique opportunity to share ownership with Anodyne’s key, long-term employees,” McClutchy said. “Anodyne staff will remain and continue to build what they have all helped to grow. With FairWave’s collective support, Anodyne is poised for further growth and great success.”

`Milwaukee coffee business Anodyne Coffee Roasting Co. has been acquired by FairWave Specialty Coffee Collective.

Founded in 1999, Anodyne is a small-batch roaster with café locations around the Milwaukee area. FairWave, based in Kansas City, Missouri, says it provides coffee companies the infrastructure to scale while keeping marketing, sales and management local. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

Matt McClutchy, Anodyne’s founder, remains involved as an investor in FairWave. He said in an emailed statement that he and his wife, Lacee Perry, have been honored and proud to lead the business over the past 24 years. They’re rooting for Anodyne and FairWave’s success, he said.

“FairWave offered a unique opportunity to share ownership with Anodyne’s key, long-term employees,” McClutchy said. “Anodyne staff will remain and continue to build what they have all helped to grow. With FairWave’s collective support, Anodyne is poised for further growth and great success.”

The business is now led by Steve Kessler, Nolan Truttschel, Laura Lown and Stephanie Burton, according to a news release from FairWave.

Anodyne will continue to operate cafés and offer its wholesale products. The roastery’s cafés are in Wauwatosa and in Milwaukee’s Bay View, Walker’s Point and Third Ward neighborhoods.

FairWave said Anodyne is the first Milwaukee-based coffee roaster to join its platform.`

I created a magazine (akin to a subreddit) on kbin.social if anyone wants to give it a spin.

I created a new GoToSocial instance that I'm calling "Wisconsin Rocks!". I would love to fill it with folks who are passionate about Wisconsin. GoToSocial is very alpha and not as user-friendly as Mastodon, but I'll try to help where I can.

Drop me a DM if you want an account.
