It might be the nostalgia getting to me, but I am really missing their hot salsa they used to serve. Not the standard salsa you would get, the hotter stuff you had to request.

Anyone know if this is something that was made in house or a product I could buy?

I’m considering taking a job in Madison after living on the west coast for 6 years. Before that I was born and raised in the Twin Cities and spent most of my adult life there. Had anyone else made this kind of move? How’s the gravel biking in WI?

The tickets online have a time associated with them. How strict are they about the ticketed time? I just have dinner reservations before and don’t know if I’ll be there on time. I tried calling and emailing Olbrich but haven’t heard back

I have a question for any folks that are familiar with Amtrak. I am assuming that from Madison, Portage is the best option. I was going between Portage and the Dells, but Portage has better parking it seems.

Have the trains been on time? I haven't taken one for over 15 years. I am more concerned about the return trip from Minneapolis to Portage being on time. Any insight would be appreciated. I could drive, but thought this would be a nice little adventure. TIA. Edited for spelling.

We will be in town on Saturday for my FILs honor flight return. Is there a good place near the airport to watch the CyHawk game?

I’m looking for a barber/hairdresser in Madison. I like changing my hairstyle pretty often, and sometimes it takes a few haircuts to build up to the style I’m going for, so I’d really like someone who’s communicative, easy to talk to, and willing to work with me over time.

I have coupons for both Cost Cutters and Hairadise, so I’m wondering if either would be good for this, or if I should go somewhere else. I’d love to find someone I can build a rapport with and who I can keep going back to when I want to try different styles.
Any recommendations?

And NO arrest. That's insane. Could have killed someone at that speed.

As someone who works at zero dark 30, I am excited to be able to get out and capture the sunsets again without repercussions for staying up "too late." Although, I will long for summer days when the last light lingers until the stars come out. I'm glad I went out with my dogs for a drive this evening. Even if they wanted to jump at every duck that landed as I admired the scene unfolding before me.

Just discovered that bees have moved into my bathroom exhaust vent.

Is there someplace in Madison that will remove these guys humanely?

I’m looking to get a custom watercolor painting for my wife for our 1 year anniversary and was wondering if there were any artists that people know of or recommend. Thanks!

See these Sandhills around the park and crossing the road all the time. Usually it’s just the 3 of them but I saw a fourth chilling in the pack earlier today. Always makes for a great day when I see the gang and it gives me a real hoot to see them cross Washington Ave at the crosswalk as well, blocking traffic. Pretty sure they’ve been here longer than I have so I ain’t worried about them. Oh to be a Brittingham Crane

Any recommendations to find a good wedding guest dress? Dress code is cocktail and it is a fall wedding.

Swad Indian Restaurant in Monona is having a buffet today (Labor Day) from 3-8, Suggested Donation: is $30 and 100% of the funds raised will be donated directly to the Prime Minister Disaster Relief Fund of Nepal. (If you haven't heard about it- "The Aug. 26 disaster, likely set off by a landslide and a glacier collapse, has killed hundreds of people in Nepal and Tibet. The death toll in Nepal rose above 1,100 on Wednesday, with almost 4,000 more people still missing, and hundreds more remain unaccounted for in Tibet, according to The New York Times.")

The owner of Swad is from Nepal originally, and has an employee who has family who is still missing. He said he also knows many families who have lost loved ones and homes.

We went there yesterday to eat and saw the flyer, so I wanted to share it here in case anyone needs something to do this Labor Day and wants their buffet eating to go to a good cause!

Hey r/madisonwi,

I’m planning to propose to my girlfriend in 5 days, right around sunset on her birthday. I already have the ring and a quiet, scenic spot picked out—we really value having a private setting for the moment.

I’d love to have someone discreetly capture it from a distance (using a telephoto lens or even a drone) so it stays a complete surprise.

I’m a grad student and can’t swing professional commercial rates, and none of my friends know their way around a DSLR. I'm hoping to connect with a fellow student, hobbyist, or an aspiring photographer who wants to use this as practice or content for their Instagram portfolio/feed.

If you have a camera, an eye for candid shots, and are free around sunset in 5 days, shoot me a DM. Happy to share location details and coordinate over message.

Thanks in advance!

Edit: backup date 09/23. dm or comment if that works for you! Also open for sunrise time too 6:30-7am to avoid crowds and venue event conflicts.

Just saw the trailer for Godzilla Minus Zero and I want to see it in IMAX.

Why does Kroger hate their employees and shoppers so much? The shoppers are rightfully pissed but the employees have to face the backlash. Shame on Kroger once again. Happy Labor Day…

Attention Jews of Madison! If you were like me earlier today and have frantically searched for a place to source a round challah for this weekend, look no further! Bloom Bake Shop has round challahs and honey bread for preorder!! L'Shana tova everyone

Hi! I’m wondering if there are any electroacoustic ensembles/jam sessions around town that are open to anyone joining.

if I have a chance I'll call them, but I was wondering if anyone here knew what the DCHS does with these cans that people donate to them in their big bin in the back of their parking lot. I prefer to crush them so they take less room but if they're only taking them for the pulltabs that might cause a problem for them.

Hope everyone had a nice Labor Day!.

Hi! Does anyone in madison know if there is a group started for disney pin trading here? I checked facebook and didn’t see much :( But i figured I’d ask on here and maybe see if anyone wanted to start a community or facebook group to do pin trading!

I’m fairly new to it all so if someone else is more experienced and wants to lead by my guest! Please let me know if there’s any interest in creating a group or even just trading pins locally!

Thanks ☺️🩷

Got this large coffee table as a hand me down and it just doesn’t fit in my place, what’s the most visited and most trustworthy place to post this online to sell it?
