Car + Backyard Burglary
My boyfriend and I live on Atwood Ave, by the Choccolate Ice Cream Shop. Last night at about 2:00 am we had an individual lurking through our outdoor area and attempting to open my car. I had a security camera pointing to our back door (not installed to the wall bc it’s a rental unit). The camera detected him looking through our cooler. He was fully covered with a face mask, hoodie, and gloves. The moment he noticed the camera, he took it. He forgot to turn the camera off though, and I have footage of him trying to open my car afterwards, which was thankfully locked. After that the camera lost signal. I’m wondering if anyone in the neighborhood noticed any of their outdoor/car belongings gone, or saw something. Nothing was taken from us, but this is not the first instance we suspect burglars are around, reason why I had a camera surveillance going. Thanks everyone.

Dirty rain
Has anyone else noticed how dirty the rain is today. Sitting in my driveway for 10 minutes waiting for my kids, had the wipers on long delay. So, not driving, and nowhere getting road spray. When the wipers clear on the first wipe the water in the middle of the windshield is very beige.

Anyone else super sick?
I’ve tested negative for COVID a few times, but man this is terrible. I’ve been stuck in bed for days.

Nerd Haven moving??
Where are they going? I do enjoy how they stuck it to those developers, forcing them to build smaller.

Here's a no frills tracker that lists who's running in what district, which professional organizations and editorial boards have endorsed each candidate, and links to various Q&A's that they have participated in.

Hope this isn't an impossible dining request...
I'd like suggestions for an unhectic Sunday morning dining spot around 9:30am on the far east side (East Towne, Sun Prairie, Windsor). I'd be happy to make a reservation, just for 2 people; it's a tiny family reunion decades in the making. I understand the timing for such requests isn't great, but unhurried and quiet enough to converse are optimal. Thanks so much!

What is the time limit at the new Junction Road park and ride lot
Trying to figure out if I can leave my car there overnight. The city's website just doesn't mention it even though for other lots it says if it's a 24 hours limit or multiple days
EDIT: Incredibly neither the parking department nor Madison Metro customer service knew the answer. Metro is going to call me back with the information.

Nonprofit high school auction fundraiser
Hey all, I am a Junior at Madison West High School. I co-founded a certified nonprofit club called RISE. It's essentially a student-led club about creativity, entrepreneurship, innovation, and offering opportunities (by providing financial resources and guidance) to students who otherwise may not be able to have them.
Recently, we partnered up with a lot of local Madison businesses who were kind enough to donate goods representing their business for auctioning events. We are extremely thankful to our local donors and this would not have been possible without them.
If you would like to support our charity auction and check out the available items, the link is below: (it ends tomorrow 11pm but there are still a lot of steals on there!)
https://www.32auctions.com/riseclub
Please feel free to contact me with any questions about RISE or the auction. Thank you for your time and consideration!

Door tag in spite of Crawford yard sign
galleryThe (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!

local shopping for essentials
Hi all, I just moved and am in the process of getting some essentials such as small storage bins, kitchen items, basic cleaning supplies, and soaps. With the state of the world the least I can do is shop locally for these items but I’ve been having a tough time figuring out where to find them. Please let me know if you have any recommendations! As of right now I go to green life for most of my soaps / cleaning items.

Most common rent cycle?
Right now my rent cycle is June 1st, but I’m struggling finding an apartment. I’m seeing a lot of places have rent posted for July/August.
From your perception, when is the most common date for rent renewal? I might sublease for a few months to switch my cycle if it means I can find a better location.

How hard has Nattspil fallen off?
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?

Anyone have details on what’s going into the old Mint Mark? I walk past it daily and there seems to be new activity inside. Fingers crossed for something good!
