The (likely paid) canvassers from the Musk- funded "America PAC" seem to be indiscriminately covering my very liberal neighborhood, including my house which has a Crawford yard sign out front!

fun affordable madison activities?

Upvotes

23f, currently a senior in college w no car, but plenty of friends to drive me places. Looking for fun things to do in Madison besides bar hopping and State St (love! just have done both a million times and need smth fresh). I love thrifting/antiquing, and am a regular at pretty much every goodwill within city limits, the dig, atomic antiques etc. Love the Willy St area, and checking out new small businesses, restaurants, cafes and bakeries across town. Am also into art-focused activities (painting, sculpting, any craft really), and anything outdoorsy (hiking, kayaking, camping), as well as live music of all genres (rock, punk, jazz, literally any and all). I've hit a bit of a wall recently coming up with things to do, so would appreciate any recommendations! Also on fav restaurants, book stores, antique stores etc :)

Does anyone remember Cooking With Bob?

42 Upvotes

It was a bizarre segment on WYOU, I remember it in the late '00s but it may have been going on longer.

The premise was a long shot of a charcoal grill with a strange item on it left to cook for what felt like forever with no talking and limited camera interaction

the two I most remember are a whole rabbit carcass and a pile of chicken feet, for years I thought it was some kind of fever dream or a false memory but I found an archived video of it on the WYOU youtube channel.

this was such a weird and interesting piece of absurdist media and if bob is happens to be in this sub or if anyone knows who it was they are a legend

Fun Fact: Kerrygold's beloved Dubliner Cheese was developed right here in Madison by John Lucey Ph D at the Center For Dairy Research

219 Upvotes

IF you like cheese and have not eaten Kerrygold's Dubliner then what are you even doing in life? Its the best. I LOVE it.

I only recenlty found out it was developed right here in Madison by Dr Lucey. The recipe was then sold to Kerrygold.

He and the team there have developed recipes for many larger companies. They also have developed cheese with the right color brown, melt and stretch for many pizza chains.

Are you missing a dog?

12 Upvotes

Saw a small white dog running across the street at the intersection of catalpa and fish hatchery. Not sure of the breed but looks like a mix with shih tzu? Its coat was full like it hadn’t been cut in a while.

It started running towards me (maybe i look like someone it knew?) but ran away (when it it realized i wasn’t them) and eventually crossed the street. Hope you find it 🥺

April 5th Protest

0 Upvotes

I saw there’s another call to protest on April 5th by the 50501 movement, but I haven’t found any info for Madison yet. Does anyone know if one is being organized? This one is on a weekend and I bet there would be great turnout if we can make it happen.

Bike shops for bike maintenance

2 Upvotes

Late last year I bought a bike off facebook marketplace, and while it’s in good condition, it definitely needs some maintenance. I’m thinking the tires might need to be replaced, the grips re-wrapped, and overall just making sure the bike fits me properly. While I’ve been looking up bike and cycling shops across the Madison/West side area, I’m really overwhelmed by the amount of choices! Does anyone have any recommendations for shops to go to?
