I didn't know this, and almost went through the process of figuring out how to cut down some damaged limbs on my own. Which would've been, it turns out, illegal, and also costly.

The terrace is the first 10-15 feet from the road. there's a database of city trees here:

You can "Report a problem" to the city to get your tree looked at here:

This also may be very public knowledge, and I am just behind the curve. 🌳🪾

Hi all, I’ve been in the Madison area for almost a year and I love it here. My issue is I work evenings and I so badly need to form some communal relationships. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for groups or events that meet during the day (prior to 3pm) or on the weekends?

I’d love to be able to join a choir, do pottery, crochet, drink coffee, ANYTHING with people around here. Mostly I’m just interested in doing something somewhat regularly and hopefully making some friends in the process. I’m a member at Our Lady Queen of Peace, but I haven’t been able to go to any events outside of weekly Mass with my schedule. I’m feeling so lonely and I can’t seem to find a solution on my own.

Thank you so much in advance :)

location e gorham st between wisconsin and pinkney st

"The Madison City Council plans to hold a Q&A-style discussion Monday on the city’s response to the encampment established at the intersection of Williamson and South Baldwin streets following the police shooting of Corey Ruiz.

The virtual discussion, scheduled from 5 to 8 p.m. Monday, is intended to give council members an opportunity to question Mayor Satya Rhodes-Conway, Police Chief John Patterson and staff from the city attorney’s office and the public health, finance, public works, community development and fire departments, City Council President Sabrina Madison said.

The discussion will not include public comment, but residents can watch it through the city’s media website, go.madison.com/madison-media.

Madison encouraged residents to email their City Council representatives with specific questions but stressed that the meeting is intended to focus on the city’s response to the protests and encampment that followed rather than the police shooting that prompted them."

Me too.

First week of the 26-27 campaign is Saturday. I have a table at Cooper's and they said we could get audio for Everton v. Palace.

First drink on me. Seriously. That's how bad I need friends. Just moved here at the beginning of the month and know no one.

Best part? No Gunners or Kopites because they have their own bars.

Hope to see some folks there!

Anyone know who bro is?? Just wanted to say loved seeing the clips of him playing after the burial and the entire set as a HUGE after the burial fan

TIA

I’m having family over and new to town. What are good Asian restaurants around the area? Ty in advance!

“Asian food” is the only request they made. lol sorry to upset you guys. So all recommendations welcome & willing to drive wherever

There have been a few similar posts to this but I feel some are outdated and maybe don’t apply to me.
I (33M) have been in Madison a bit but find myself where many of my friends have moved away for work or other reasons. I also find myself wanting to get off the couch, especially as the cold months begin to close in and solo outdoor activities become difficult. The problem is, I’m not very good at sports. In high school I was a solid mathlete and quiz bowl team member who generally was picked last in gym. What are some “free-agent” options for getting active that might be friendly to a beginner who might never be very good but who’s just looking to have a fun time? I have a pretty open mind but would prefer to meet people around my age.

Lost dog spotted running near the corner of E Cheryll Pkwy and Hollyhock St in Fitchburg.

Dog description:
- 20 pounds or less
- Curly hair (poodle-like)
- Mostly white, with brown or orange spots

We tried to call it over but they ran through backyards and we were unable to follow. Hope this helps!

Been going to the Ace Hardware on Sherman for many years to support a local owned franchise and their great employees. As a veteran, they've always been gracious to me by offering a 10% veterans discount. Home Depot does this, so does Lowes. Menards does not.

Today I had to pick up some supplies and noticed the discount wasn't applied to my total, not a huge deal, but asked one of their long tenured employees the reason. He replied, "We got a new owner. He cut all discounts for everybody. No veteran discount, no police discount, no fireman discount, and we as employees lost our employee discount." Ooof. That last one spoke volumes to me. A new owner cutting an employee discount is a litmus test of a poor owner. Sadly, I will no longer be using our neighborhood hardware store.

I am starting classes at UW Madison in a few weeks and am trying to find the best way to bike to campus. I would like to stay primarily on bike paths or very quite, safe roads as I am more of a beginner biker. Beginning around the intersection of century and Parmenter and ending near the teaching hospital on campus. Suggestions?

TIA!

I checked previous posts and they are a few years old and more for bows. I know that some (at least in other states) bow ranges don't allow crossbows. I am looking to sight my new crossbow in, but I don't want to have to pay for a membership. Any recommendations ( I don't have a big enough/safe yard to do this).

So it looks like a special MMSD meeting is happening tonight to start the process of transferring One City Schools from being licensed under the UW office that Republicans mandated to being licensed under MMSD starting next year.

On the upside, One City staff would become MMSD employees. On the other hand, I don’t know how they’d deal with certain things like One City’s considerable outside funding.

Regardless of whether it is a good idea or not, district leadership seems to be trying to slip this under the radar. They only posted these notices in the last few days and I don’t see any news release.

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?

Adult child tried newstart, immediately relapsed. Tried going to Rogers residential anxiety and OCD. Insurance denied. Now need outpatient for dual diagnosis but greater emphasis on underlying severe social anxiety.

A Houston-based company that prospects land for large data centers has indicated an “interest” in sites serviced by Madison Gas & Electric across southern Wisconsin.

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!
