I like reviewing Backpage ads just to see who is in town or if there are any intriguing posts, but now I see that it has been taken down.  Anyone else see this?  

What other ad sites do people use for the Milwaukee area.  I liked the easy-to-read part of Backpage, too.

yep, seems bp is gone for now.  was down last night.

as far as weeding out the scammers etc.

I am sure something else will pop up. Some are posting on the dating section.

Be safe. Always.

Well, if you yummy ladies would be around Wausau, it wouldn't matter! ;

Yes it is,  providers need to be real providers. Bp offers many risk.  
It's a great thing.

Nice to meet you Haley.
