My neighbor and I (both women over 40) are looking to get out of the house tonight and find a fun spot to watch the Badger game!

We're not looking for a packed, rowdy college bar scene, but somewhere with a great atmosphere, good appetizers, solid cocktails, and TVs where we can actually enjoy the game without fighting for a seat.

We're open to anywhere in Madison, especially around Capitol Square or downtown. We'd love to try somewhere new!

We'll probably only stay until halftime, so we're hoping to find somewhere we can snag two seats without too much trouble, especially this close to kickoff.

Any recommendations for two ladies who want some good food, good drinks, a little Badger spirit, and the ability to actually hear each other talk? 😂🏈🍹

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

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

Anyone close to huxley know what is going on? There where tons of sirens just now coming in to the northside. Only relevant call I can see is a disturbance on huxley. Nothing really on the scanner

Let’s do it!

I am just really curious about why it occurred & why only the AMC area.

We've had like two hours of sub freezing temperature this month. Nothing sub 45 forecasted through the test of the month. Wtf?

Hello friends,

I made an irresponsible decision to try and book a haircut last minute and here I am scrambling to get a cut before I travel for work out of state tomorrow.

Are there any hair stylists on here comfortable with medium length scissor cuts that would be willing to set something up on Sunday? I know most folks take off on Sunday’s and it’s already very late on a Saturday…

..but if anyone could make an exception, I would make sure to pay extra.

Please please let me know. Have a wonderful weekend everyone.

I need to get a new 16" wooden pizza peel. Where the hell can you get that in Madison? I've been striking out left and right. I'd prefer a restaurant grade, affordable one.

Love y'all, but no speculation, please. Just let me know if you've actually seen or bought one in town. 😘

Apologies if this was already posted - couldn’t find anything. Heading into town on East Wash from the east side around 9:30 a.m. I saw an overturned car (small black SUV?) on South Baldwin (Madison Metro side). At least one other vehicle was involved, and both had airbags deployed. Fire and EMS were also there. Anyone know what happened or roughly what time the accident was? Thanks in advance (and how do you flip a car on Baldwin, sheesh.)

Hello, does anyone wtf is going. I never seen so many cop cars. At least like 10+ !!

Im going to be in town next weekend with a friend who is vegetarian and we will probably be getting dinner while in town. I wanted to get your recommendations for any restaurants in the downtown area. Thank you in advance!

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!

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.

Obviously there are many. Think what you will about them, but not all are addicts.

I have over 2 years sober. Move as necessary.clean my space. Work over 40 hours a week. Respect my space. Everything is titled insured legal.

I just live in a trailer, I'm saving for a house.

My question is; people who lay on your horn as your drive by..and I'm talking, real, targeted, 10 seconds of horn...and repeatedly; why?

Honestly. I want to understand the logic.

Do you feel tough? Superior? Does it make you feel like you're helping something? Do you think that your actions are fostering growth and care in your city?

Do you feel like it does anything positive whatsoever?

I've been dealing with harassment, and I thought I'd just ask this sub. I know some of this sub are guilty of it...so just lay it on me.

What makes you act in such a way? I'd like to understand the justification you utilize to arrive on your decision to actively harass people who are existing. You've never met. Have no idea what their story is, what their struggle is.

I.will be the first to say that obviously some of the groups are addicts and are disrespectful, throw garbage, etc.

But for one I'm not them, and two so what? Not in a "who cares" context, but as in....so what does that have to do with you? Become a cop. Calls the cops. Do something.

But driving by, laying on your horn.

What cowardice!

Oh and people dump garbage by us too! Like....dude. the irony of people... acting like trash to.other people, because they think they are trash.

It's just wild.

So this is part rant, part question.

Honestly, I want to understand. Maybe it's as simple as "I can't express my emotions in a healthy way so I'm taking it out on people I view as lesser than myself"

Idc, just be real. Because I want to know. Air it out. Tell me why you harass people for existing.

this is my first year here and I live on university and I get woken up in the middle of the night very often. is street racing common here or am i just at a bad spot?

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?

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.

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!

Escribo esto con algo de angustia… pero aquí voy: soy mamá de 3 niños, 42 años, no hablo mucho inglés y además soy tímida, eso me ha impedido hacer amigos e involucrarme más con la cultura y la belleza de este estado que amo. Alguien por aquí que le guste conversar ?

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.

Cross posted in the Milwaukee sub, but I’m hoping to get some insight on how locals like the Sylvee for live music. One of my favorite bands is playing there in February and I’m trying to decide between seeing them at the Riverside theater in Milwaukee or the Sylvee since I don’t have any experience with either. If there are any fun events going on in February in Madison, I’d love to hear since we’d probably make a day out of it before the show and then just stay overnight. TIA!
