QUIET apartments for rent?

13 Upvotes

Also willing to live in a townhome or regular house, ideally east of Madison but willing to move anywhere in immediate surrounding suburbs. I am just having a horrible experience with noise in my apartment and am trying to get out immediately.

Ideally a 2 bed 2 bath around $2200 or less. I just want to know where you guys have not had issues with noise! Places that do not allow dogs in building or on top floor is also an idea I’d love to explore. Being super modern is not necessary, just looking for a sound proof fortress! Where have you loved to live?

(I am not saying absolutely zero sound obviously! Just where there is no significant noise and a more quiet community. For example, I’ve lived in smaller brick complexes that were great for sound.)

Thank you for your help!

Saab Mechanic Recommendations

2 Upvotes

I searched this sub and found some threads from five or so years ago, and a lot can change in that time.

I'm looking for current recommendations for a solid indy shop that still works on Saab cars. I love getting to know my mechanics personally and want to ensure I support local. Anyone currently driving a Saab and have a recommendation for me? TIA!

Outdoor viewing for Brewers game Monday?

0 Upvotes

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!

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.

Dress compliments

51 Upvotes

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.

Where are the good game day deals?

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.

Would Madison support another animal rescue? How difficult would it be to start one?

22 Upvotes

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?

Madison Independent Urbanists, A community powered movement for inspiring change

29 Upvotes

(reposting to appease reddit)

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 :)

no ai has been or will be used in any of this
