About MKEstuff

I’m Colin Wright. I live in Riverwest, and I also run MKE Meetups. I built MKEstuff to put common Milwaukee lookups and local resources in one place.

I’m not the City, and this isn’t an official City website. I link back to the official sources so you can check rules, dates, and details for yourself.
