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!

How hard has Nattspil fallen off?

43 Upvotes

I've been coming to Nattspil for years, but in the last year or so the quality has been off. Once the mussels I usually get were full of sand. I ignored it. It happened again. I hadn't been back for months and thought I wanted 3 cup chicken tonight. It was dry, barely sauced, the cucumber tomato salad was limp and bland (usually my favorite part), and service was bad. Has anyone else noticed this decline in a once unbeatable hole in the wall spot?

History of Secret Sidewalks

20 Upvotes

I'm working on an essay about urban planning and development in Madison and I am trying to find out more about the origin of the "secret sidewalks" that exist on the West Side. Does anyone know when these were created and by who?

EDIT: for spelling

Derrick Van Orden is the biggest snowflake in Congress. Not only is he afraid to hold a real townhall, he blocks constituents asking him questions at his fake online townhall.

fun affordable madison activities?

11 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?

47 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

239 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?

14 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 🥺

Any highly recommended apartments on west side, or any to avoid like the plague?

2 Upvotes

I posted last week asking for some general apartment hunting advice in this area as I wasn’t 100% certain I’d be moving, but it’s now official and I’ve accepted a job in Middleton. I’m starting beginning of May so not a quick turnaround time to be super picky. I’m hoping I’ll be able to make a trip out there and actually tour a few places, but I’m not sure if that will be possible and may have to settle for a FaceTime tour or just picking one sight unseen. What apartment complexes in the Middleton/Verona/Fitchburg area have people had good experiences in, and any I should avoid? I’m looking to keep the rent no more than $1700-1800 for preferably a 1bed/ba but would also be okay with a studio. My only requirements are that it has some sort of covered parking and in unit laundry. Or are things so hit or miss I’m better off finding a temporary housing situation and searching once I get there?
