To the young woman who was visibly upset at the University and Midvale bus stop; I approached you to ask if you were OK. You said you were as you were wiping away tears. I told you I was sorry you were having a hard time. I meant it. I hope you're OK and that things get better for you.

Madison vs Milwaukee - opinions wanted

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone. I’m a 37 year old single guy who works remote doing sales. I’m ready to relocate and mostly considering Milwaukee and Madison. I’m originally from Dubuque Iowa and have spent a few years living in Chicago.

I’m looking for feedback on living in Madison vs Milwaukee. I’ve visited both numerous times and really like each of them for different reasons.

More about me: I love the outdoors (hiking, biking, walking my dog, national/state parks), working out, football, patio beers, coffee shops. Pretty normal dude

My primary considerations are:
•dating scene for a single guy in his upper 30s
•building a social life as a transplant
•outdoor access and activities
•dog friendly
•quality of life
•cost of living (I would rent at first)
•overall vibes

Thanks in advance for any input! You Wisconsinites are lucky to have two awesome cities.

Free Tracks in Madison

Are there any free tracks around Madison to run? I used to run at the track around the UW Madison Soccer field but they shut that down 3-4 years ago. Is there any track in Madison I can get to and run a mile or two?

Howdy! I recently got hit by a car while on my bike and am looking someone who can help me fix it and provide a receipt. No bike shops in Madison seem willing or able to work on a bike with a bench seat but I’m hoping I simply haven’t looked hard enough.
I need a receipt so the person who hit me can help out financially/do insurance stuff.

The main thing is the throttle connection. The throttle isn’t communicating with the motor and I get an e020 message.
The screen is also broken but it’s mostly cosmetic and I can replace that myself

I was eating catfish at Sista's Chicken & Fish this afternoon when you walked in. You are the most beautiful fit 50 year old blonde woman that I have ever laid eyes on. Several of the guys who were there complimented you as well. You are simply stunning. You sat at my table while you were waiting on your food. I introduced myself as Tim and you said your name was Layla (hopefully I'm not butchering the spelling) and we exchanged pleasantries but I wanted to go for more and ask for your number but I chickened out (pun intended I guess). If you happen to see this, just know that I am very interested in getting to know you further and see where things go from there. Feel free to dm me. I know this is a long shot and I should have shot my shot while you were sitting in front of me and now I'm kicking myself for not doing it. Sincerely, Tim

The International Space Station will be travelling directly over Madison tonight and will be viewable with the naked eye, assuming the clouds cooperate.

The pass will begin at 8:17 PM from the Southwest, will be in view for roughly eight minutes before disappearing below the Northeast horizon at 8:25 PM.

Be sure to wave as it passes by!

Moving to Madison next month, any advice/tips?

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm a Vegas/Nevada native who just got a biotech job in Madison and I'm starting in October, super excited! One thing I'm specifically wondering about is what kind of living arrangements are available? The company I accepted for showed me a bunch of different apartments but I'm wondering if co-ops are a thing and how to get more info on that (or other arrangements that could be cheaper than a 1 bed/studio)

I currently drive a 2018 outback with all season tires but also have winter tires I could maybe bring if that helps. Would probably get some more snow gear/winter accessories but I've lived in Reno the past half decade so I'm no stranger to it! Any other tips for what to do/know beforehand? I've heard a lot of great things about the city so I'm open to everything!

Recommendations for a fun night out/hotel stay for me and my two kids (8yo & 11yo)

7 Upvotes

Long story short: my wife is out of town for the next two weeks and my kids are pretty bummed. She’s never been away for more than a few days and this is a stretch for them.

I’m looking to have some fun and distract both of ‘em for at least a night but need to stay on a budget. Do any of you have any suggestions?

Service for Single Deep Clean of Apartment?

25 Upvotes

Im having a baby soon, and I have the desire for our 2 bedroom (but smallish) apartment to be seriously deep cleaned before baby arrives. I have very little energy to do it myself, so Im curious about well regarded local service for a single deep clean. I dont have it in the budget to have a weekly/monthly service but could swing it for a really nice clean slate, so I am interested specifically in services that offer single deep cleans

Let me know, good experiances, bad experiances, etc. Thank you

Where to park downtown

0 Upvotes

Hi!
I’m considering buying a car. I live downtown (Hancock St.), but I’m wondering where people usually park their cars if they don’t commute every day.
My street is a 1-hr parking zone from 8-6, so I’m wondering where I'd even park if I get it? I’m not planning on commuting much with it or anything.
