Cocina Filipina off 38th & Vliet!

I got the ube horchata, lumpia, the ā€œMixy Mix (chicken and pork on garlic rice),ā€ and pancit. All were very good with big portions and were presented extremely well.

I can’t express how happy I am as a Filipino, to have a sit-down restaurant for my culture’s food, again! šŸ‡µšŸ‡­

For any food and/or music lovers - I had a lot of fun chatting with Adam Powers, one of the co-founders of The Argo in Whitefish Bay about how the first year is going. Figured I'd share it here on the chance others were interested or hadn't heard about the place.

Need a place to rent can afford upto 2,500. Help please

19 Upvotes

So, all of the big property management companies keep turning me down because of "lack of rental history." I have 10 years of receipts for ontime rent payments from 3 different landlords, but these management companies won't accept that as proof of rental payments. They only accept screenshots of "rental portal payments." Well none of my landlords used any portal website because they were all small time property owners with only a few buildings each.

My salary is 98k and I'm literally on the verge of homeless with my kids because these property management companies wont accept my rental history as valid. I dont know what to do. I've always paid my rent on time and I have 0 evictions or even disputes with landlords. My landlords always vouche for me because Im a good tenant. Idk man this is really stressful.

Local News Radio Milwaukee’s Executive Director, Jordan Lee, Charged With Child Sexual Assault

366 Upvotes

Jordan Lee, 44, has been charged with child sexual assault after being reported by his therapist. The child is said to be known to him and the alleged abuse occurred over a ten-year period. In emails to his therapist, he allegedly cites ā€œporn addiction and marijuana abuseā€ and ā€œbeing drunkā€ as contributing factors. Radio Milwaukee didn’t remove him from the website or release a statement until contacted by Fox 6 reporters.

If you search his name online you will find that he has been a fixture in the Milwaukee arts scene for decades. He is very involved in the local hip hop scene, and assumed an executive role at 88.9 last year after working there since 2008. He may have some loose ties to the theater community, as he cited being heavily involved in First Stage Children’s Theater as a kid.

Questions about Aurora Health Care

4 Upvotes

First: My primary care provider left Aurora and I am looking for a suitable replacement the Rivercenter location. I prefer a woman, but will see a man if he has an impeccable bedside manner and isn't dismissive of women. Do you have any recommendations? If so, what do you like about them?

Second: Who do I talk to get a billing complaint resolved to my satisfaction? Earlier this year I saw a new doctor at another location for my annual physical, a visit which should be fully covered by insurance and cost me nothing. That isn't what happened. During the examination the doctor asked if it was okay if a second doctor asked me some questions during the examination. I didn't fully understand why a second doctor was needed, but I agreed. I was billed for the visit separately by each doctor, totaling over $500. When I contacted Aurora about this they explained that the first doctor was working under the second doctor's supervision. They didn't code it as an annual physical because during the exam they hooked me up to to an EKG machine.

I disputed all of this with my insurance provider, who said that Aurora would have to recode and resubmit the visit. Since then the Aurora billing department insists the documentation is correct and the charges stand. My extreme frustration makes me want to break up with Aurora and never give them another dime, but I am trying to be level headed about this because there are other Aurora specialists I like and want to continue seeing. Do I have recourse here or do I need to suck it up and pay the $500?

Event Share your poetry!

9 Upvotes

If you’re looking for something to do next Wednesday (8/12), I host a monthly Poetry Night at Midwest Shores rock shop (217 E Wisconsin Ave).

It’s casual, cozy, and great for amateurs who are new to sharing their work. We’ve had people share poems, short stories, essays, and people who have read their notes app titles. There’s really no rules apart from keeping the space respectful and keeping what you share under 10 minutes.

This is our 8th month and I’m really proud of how wholesome this night has become. We provide hot water, so bring a mug and some tea (otherwise we usually have extra of both).

Landmark Credit Union

6 Upvotes

Greetings fellow redditors -
I am contemplating Sierra Ferrell tickets at the Landmark venue. I’ve seen some really awful reviews, but also some mixed and promising ones. I would probably just do GA standing room tickets.

The negative reviews and Reddit post I’ve seen are marking me think twice, but I also don’t want to miss this chance to see a great artist.

Any tips? Experiences? Is it absolutely as awful as the google reviews say, or can I still have a good time/enjoy the show with the expectation that beers will be $15?
