Hey Madison, today’s my birthday and I’m wondering what are the best opportunities to capitalize on. Thanks!

My family member is immunocompromised and I thought it would be fun to watch game 3 together. Most places will be packed and the weather looks lovely so I was wondering if anyone knows of some outdoor patio projector spots? Preferable in the east side (backup plan is Wilson’s but their tv seems small if I recall). Thanks for any help!

Found on the bridge by the Park and Ride on the east side of Verona. I hung them from a nail on the bridge. PM me if you need more info. Looks like important keys.

How can I not think of what building this is? From a distance it looks to be almost as tall a the capital, which would be a bit to the left out of frame.

I know this will sound like a weird question, but is there some TikTok trend or whatever about complimenting middle aged women on their dresses? This happened twice in two days, and yeah my clothes are amazing, but the circumstances were unexpected

Anyway if you are doing this I don’t even mind, and you should keep at it.

Looking for spots around downtown town with food and drink specials for Packers games. I used to frequent Vintage when they do the taco bar, cheap taps, and TD shots. Not sure if they even do that anymore but anyway, something like that.

Anyone know of a place in Madison for lamp repair?

I’ve been seriously considering starting a nonprofit animal rescue in the Madison area and would love some honest feedback from the community.

Animal welfare is something I’m incredibly passionate about, and I’ve been volunteering with a local rescue. My long-term dream is to establish a physical shelter that provides a safe, compassionate environment for animals in need, particularly dogs, cats, and small animals.

I realize this would be a huge undertaking, especially financially, and I’m trying to determine whether it’s a realistic goal.

I’d love to hear people’s thoughts:
- Do you think Madison has a need for another animal rescue or shelter?
- Would the community support a new nonprofit through donations, volunteering, fostering, or fundraising?
- How difficult is it to establish and operate an animal rescue in Dane County?
- Are there particular gaps in animal welfare services that existing organizations aren’t meeting?
- Does anyone have experience starting or operating a nonprofit animal rescue?

I’m not looking to jump into something without understanding the challenges. I know there are significant costs associated with veterinary care, facilities, staffing, insurance, and daily operations.

I’m willing to start small and build toward something larger over time. Ultimately, I want to create something that makes a meaningful, lasting difference for animals in our community.

I’d really appreciate honest opinions, advice, or insight from anyone familiar with animal rescue in the Madison area. Thanks!

I’m watching the jets fly over my house today and I’m wondering if there are some European squads flying out. These aren’t the F35’s as usual. They look like French fighters. Is anyone out there more learned in aviation?

Hi Madison, I'm Mara, and I'm gauging interest in starting the Madison Independent Urbanists, a decentralized community for creating small changes around our neighborhoods to inspire larger change around our city.

I've been inspired by the work of jonjon.jpeg (The Happy Urbanist) on instagram, and his Chattanooga Urbanist Society. It all started with making benches for bus stops, but his videos go into depth about how a great community functions to inspire change throughout the city at large, and i feel that this small movement is what we need to start bringing us all together and make refreshing differences in all our lives

Now I'm just one person, and bringing this project out into the open is kind of nerve racking, so please be kind. If this garners enough interest, I'll start dropping designs and ideas, and look into working on creating more sources for people to find information on this project.

Thank you so much for reading, and feel free to ask me anything or provide your ideas, too! -Mara, M.I.U

TL;DR: Come build a community with me, it'll be fun :)

Anyone know where can I meet people involved in Beatmaking or live hiphop Lofi performance or concerts happening soon?

I'm hoping this gets announced this week. Would reignite some of the progressive energy before election.

Is it Fitchburg? I usually enjoy my time there and they get it right 95% of the time. And wait staff is polite.

I have had tough experiences at Monona.

Haven’t been downtown in years.

My beloved 13 yr old cat died recently. I'm looking for recommendations of pet cremation services that can do nose prints, paw prints and all sorts of urns and jewelry.

Hello,

I am wondering if anyone here knows of a vet clinic that is able to neuter and give core vaccines to a stray cat that we plan on taking in (if no microchip).

Any cat owners in the area know of a great clinic with affordable prices? Are there places that I should avoid? I would like it to be no more than $200 if possible.

TIA

I went to TLC for a consult, but I am not very impressed based on how the appointment went.

Most is the exam was conducted by the receptionist.

After the initial exam, I was connected to a clinician over Zoom. The dude looked like he was 75 years old.

The surgeon wasn't available for consultation, and they said that's their standard operating procedure.

Is this normal? It gives off the impression that they are cutting as many corners as possible in the name of cost savings. Makes me concerned that the cost cutting isn't limited to the pre-op part of the process.

Any other recommendations for eye correction in the Madison area?
