Western border is 27th Street and I'm in Wauwatosa - it's a Marquette/UWM thing, I guess.

Tangentially, why is there never any Mexican delivery? Granted, the Milwaukee area is a tad behind bigger metro areas (but at least now I can get Thai/Laotian/Vietnamese delivered - thank you, Mekong Cafe'!)

The sister of a man I work with had her neck snapped by her abusive boyfriend during a physical altercation last weekend.

From my reading, it would have to be a prenatal zombie.

That is SO...heightist?

Okay, somehow I misread it as "ItAintRapelf" and thought it was a holiday-themed anti-rape message. AintRapelf sounds a little too earnest for the holidays, although his darling little heart is in the right place.
