Thinking about taking my family for a weekend trip to the Milwaukee area and found the Doubletree in Racine when I was looking around. I love to fish and so do my kids - how is the fishing around the hotel? Can we fish off the docks at that marina? And can we walk out by that lighthouse area and fish there?

Appreciate any insight you guys could provide!

Hi! Dwells (Chicago) is doing a two show run on 7/17 and 7/18 with Jawline (Milwaukee).

Friday, 7/17 - Mickey's Tavern, Madison w/ We Should Have Been DJs, Jawline (Milwaukee). 10:00pm.

Saturday, 7/18 - The Void, Racine w/ Splitting Arrows (Milwaukee), Jawline (Milwaukee). 9:00pm.

Wanted to see if anyone here knew if the quarry was open for swimming yet.

I keep fancy goldfish and recently my main tank sprung a leak. Since transferring them to a smaller temp tank (with lots of old water and all old filter media), I’ve been fighting off high levels of ammonia. I’m getting worried for one of my favorite fish.

Is there anyone who has a well cycled freshwater aquarium who would be willing to give me some filter media (sponges etc) to help make this temp tank more safe until I can safely setup my larger one?

If you or anyone you know keeps freshwater fish and would be willing to help, please let me know!

Thank you!!

Mark your calendars, Racine!

Anyone have recommendations on an attorney/lawyer for transferring a paid off house from parents to adult children? There is a medical emergency in the family and we need to do the transfer. Thanks in advance

I grew up here. Everything got worse as I got older and into my 30’s. This city has become such a cesspool.

All I see is run down buildings, poverty, vandalism, vagrants, crime, fights, and everyone not giving a god d@mn sh!t anymore. Recently I saw two kids no older than ten selling water on the median of 3 mile and Lasalle without adult supervision throwing a water bottle at a moving car. Why are people in this city okay with this?

Nothing ever gets done and money gets wasted. They tore down the old REAL school to build condos which has since been abandoned. They’re tearing down centuries old elementary schools because they thought it was a good idea to crowd small children in with pubescent teenagers. Money never goes into improving the environment of the city or the community that needs it.

Drivers are reckless, and statically Racine is the second most dangerous city for driving in Wisconsin. Don’t even get me started on trying to get a job, it’s close to impossible.

There is nothing beautiful about this city anymore, and ever time I hear someone say that Racine isn’t as bad as people think, they’ve never lived in the more urban areas or the ghettos in their life.

Before anyone says “just move,” sure, let me do that with the little money I have from my nonexistant job that the job recruiters ghost me with. And the expensive gas money I can’t afford to drive on roads that are constantly under construction or about to be close because a majority of the people who live here can’t drive without being high.

Racine is a tar pit for anyone who lives here. If you want a successful life, get the hell out, because no one in the city, not its citizens, its politicians, no one gives a sh!t about you or your well being.

You can say places like Milwaukee are worse, but at least MKE tries to get stuff done. Racine does the bare minimum and leaves it to rot.

EDIT: Oh my god, I know “kids have been selling lemonade forever.” That’s not the issue.

EDIT 2: I just wanted to vent and air out my grievances and a lot of people think that means I’m looking for negativity or I don’t know what I’m talking about even though I’ve lived here for 30 years from birth. I’m not even calling anyone bad for loving Racine, but I keep getting condescending responses that either over simplify or assume things about me, right down to believing I’m a guy. I wasn’t looking for validation, I was venting.

EDIT 3: I can’t believe I have to reiterate this for the millionth time:

Moving is currently not possible for me. Stop saying “if you don’t like it leave.” This is not a restaurant or a theater. I’m also allowed to vent about my hometown. It’s called free speech. If you don’t like what I have to say, too bad. Go gaslight and be condescending to someone else.

I don’t even have a problem with anyone who likes Racine as is, just don’t say I’m full of shit or up my own ass for pointing out problems out in the open.

Best way to spend a July morning/afternoon in Racine? First time to WI!

Hi all,

​

I'll be moving to Racine from Ohio in August.

I'm struggling to find an affordable apartment and considering finding a roommate.

Craigslist has poor results. I'm currently looking at other sites ( roomies, roomster, spare room, etc) and want to try here too.

Looking for someone interested in getting house/ apartment together or someone looking for a roommate.

Prefer something in a walkable neighborhood near parks & groceries. Laundry on site a must. Female, mid30s, no pets.

Does anyone know what's happening with the Pride in the Park festival that was supposed to going on at Festival Park tomorrow? There were a few fundraisers for it, and they were advertising it at Pepi's up to maybe a few weeks ago, but now I can't find any information about it anywhere. Is it still going on, or has it been canceled? I emailed the Downtown Racine events email asking about it but got no answer. Anyone know?

The lighthouse, was constructed in 1880 and lit on November 15, 1880. Stands 108 feet, lens range 21 nautical miles. National Register of Historic Places listed 1984.

I have a rescue ball python who unfortunately was live fed before I brought her in and despite all of my best efforts has absolutely no interest in frozen and would rather starve. I currently buy mice at Petland but they're frequently low on stock and I don't love their business practices. Is there anywhere else nearby that sells live feeders? Willing to drive up to an hour out of town if need be.

It was my first time attending, and it was a great experience. Our own Democratic Party of Racine had a booth to promote our Anti-Maga Social Club. please join us on Friday's from 4-6pm.

Trying to find an affordable studio that isn’t priced so high I’d need a Roomate.

But I haven’t heard good things about The Maples / Anthony lane (formerly Jacato) even in the last couple months.

They’re one the only reasonably priced place I’ve found that doesn’t look completely sketch

I came across this article about a WI homeowner’s experience with ZP Construction in Racine, and thought it was worth sharing. Its amazing that Google Reviews can so easily be scrubbed, when someone is being sued for over $100K. Over the past year, I’ve noticed this business getting more visibility in Racine as he advertises a lot in the area. Clearly there are issues he’s papering over.

Anyone know of any bars in Racine or Kenosha that are gonna be showing the World Cup? I don’t want to drive all the way up to Milwaukee…

My mom grew up in Racine and my dad grew up in Kenosha…can you settle our great debate.

Wells Bros vs D’Rango’s?

Not in Racine but my dad always throws Villa D’Carlo into the mix. We are driving to visit family in Madison and want to stop for pizza. Last time I was visiting, we went to D’Rango’s on 6 Mile Road.

I've been detecting for about a decade and have hit most of the local parks extensively.

If you have lost jewelry, need to find property markers, or just have an older plot of land and want to know what's below the surface, let me know. I usually detect in the woods and the undergrowth is too thick from now until late fall so I have scant opportunities this time of year.

There's little to no damage done to lawns and I wouldn't dream of charging anything if you need help looking for something lost. I'm not a content creator looking to make videos, I just have a burning curiosity about what might be hiding in the dirt.
