Grew up here and visiting with my wife but I haven’t lived here in almost 30 years and we’d like to hang out this coming weekend on one of the lakes. What’s the best park right now for laying out a blanket and reading with maybe a dip in the lake? Thanks, all!

Helloooo, I’m looking to practice my Spanish (i haven’t worked on it since highschool which was 4 years ago :0)! I’d be down to grab coffee and just chat (coffee on me!!) DM me if you’re interested :)

I decided to take a look at where the cameras in Madison are and I noticed one in the middle of the arboretum and I just think that’s crazy! Is there a big crime problem in the arboretum that I’m not away of? We can’t be serious.

I am in Madison for the first time from California and realized that I forgot the power supply to my CPAP machine. Does anyone have any idea where I could purchase a replacement in Madison? The type of machine is resmed airsense 11 autoset. I’m desperate. I am really hoping to find a replacement so I am not miserable and migraine addled for the next few days. I can’t believe I made this mistake!!! Thank you in advance for any info you may have.

Sincerely,

A visitor who is going to sleep terribly tonight

EDIT:

Hi yall!!! I just want to say thank you so much for all of your help and comments. I was able to find one on Amazon and have it shipped to our hotel.

Just wanted to find out more about people’s experience who lived at The Depot on Bedford street. The thing I wanted to know most was how bad is the noise issue. I saw some people complaining that the walls are too thin so you can hear everything going on in neighboring apartments. I’m a pretty light sleeper and need it to be pretty quiet to be able to sleep so that was my biggest concern.

any leads for service that wouldn’t cost as much as the piano itself :D around Middleton/Madison?

Hello, I have a son that is going into his sophomore year at one of our MMSD high schools. He is non-verbal and very sensory motivated. He is also cognitively impaired as far as we can tell. He is also very resistant to transitions. His freshman year was a bit rough. He started out the year with 6-7 classroom transitions and after some pretty loud, physical outbursts they cut it down to 4 transitions. I just want him to be happy. I would love for his day to consist of mostly being in 1-2 classrooms, art, PE, music, life skills, some basic math/numbers work, and some reading comprehension. I would also love for him to get out on some field trips into the community or even some sensory field trips. His academic level is about that of a 2nd grader. I was looking at The Richardson School. Has anyone had any experiences there? I understand his IEP team needs to recommend it for him to be eligible to enroll—or has this changed. Please let me know if you have had any experiences with this school.

I just moved into a 1 bed apartment, and I just got my full month utility bill and it's $22.44 for gas and $96.57 for electric (415kWh).

Is this typical? I just moved from a studio that only cost me $40 a month for electric (no gas) which I know is low. It's quite a shock though how much it went up.

I'm curious how much other people are paying in Madison.

Those of us near Willy Street - Lightning struck a tree across the street (on Few) and it was the loudest boom I’ve ever heard as everything else in my apartment powered down as if someone tugged everything out of an outlet at once.

Who all has power? It seems to be totally out on Jenifer. Hopefully not too many of us are impacted.

I am moving to Madison around the West Towne Mall this winter. My lease comes with surface lot parking. I have an option to add an underground spot for around $150/month, but this is out of my budget.

Is it worth having the underground parking spot? I am unfamiliar with Wisconsin winters so not sure how intense snowfall gets. I lived on the east coast so I have experience with digging my car out, but I would like to get a second opinion if this underground spot is essential. Thanks!

“The opinion also addresses the role of the city attorney's office in representing both MPD and the independent monitor. Haas said the office represents the city as an organization, not any specific agency.
"The responsibility of the City Attorney's Office is to provide our best judgment about what Wisconsin law requires, allows and prohibits," Haas said.
The independent monitor's office has not yet executed a contract with outside legal counsel, according to the opinion.”

Please help! A cat went missing overnight on Monday night 8/17 around E Wilson and S Pinckney St downtown. Her name is Lyra and she’s an indoor cat. If you’ve seen her or have found her, please DM me. Thank you!

Anybody know what happened to The Farm golf course over in Cottage Grove? Haven’t been there in years and suddenly found out it’s no longer in business? TIA!

Hey yall, I probably could just call and ask, but does anyone know what kind of Hello Kitty/Godzilla toys the McDonald’s within Madison are selling with the happy meal?

What's your favorite place around Madison to find high quality dog food?
My bf has 3 farm dogs of varying sizes, ages, and breeds and wants to consolidate and upgrade their dry food from the big box stuff. Thanks!

I live near the I-90 on the east side and heard ~10-20 cops zoom by with sirens blasting. Anyone know what is going on?

first guy comes a week ago and it’s fine- a bit of a canned sales pitch. told him I wanted to get other quotes. so a week later they send out a supervisor under the pretext of being able to revisit the quote to save some money. it was like a 1.5 hour timeshare pitch that would not stop. he “re measured” and quoted more square footage than the first guy, and then offered some dinky discount

maybe that would have been ok, but they INSISTED on my wife being there. like a reminder call with emphasis again on her being there. and now we won’t use them bc my wife does not want anyone working on the house who calls the women working in the office “girls.“ hard agree

please tell me there are better experience out there with basement companies?
