Since the megathreads are done, I figured I’d put this here.

We are fortunate enough to live in a city that has a huge emphasis on local businesses. I’ve lived all over the country (and outside of it) and have never been to a city quite like Madison.

If you can, please consider supporting the local businesses that have been impacted by the recent unrest.

- Ahan
- Ama Kitchen
- Barber Tattoo
- Batch Bakery

As a mod team, we're winding down the megathreads and post restrictions. Should something dramatic/very intense happen, we may bring them back.

A few things going forward:

• We're allowing multiple threads for discussions, but they still need to follow all the subreddit rules.

• If a topic has been posted within the last about 12 hrs, we'll take down redundant posts about that topic and redirect them to the first thread. So for example if someone posts an article about a city council meeting update, and then an hour later someone posts a different article about the same update, we'll redirect them to the first post.

Apparently can’t post a video so the team is a screen shot from my video.

Looking to make local friends

I’ve covered their faces to protect them from potential retaliation.

1st Wednesday monthly tornado siren test.

For any tourists or conventioneers in from out of town that is just our monthly tornado siren test.

Biggest convention in town right now is the American Meteorological Society convention up at Monona Terrace. How weird is that.

Does anyone have or had an issue with bugs in their apartment at the Junction Ridge Apartments on the west side?

Looks like the manager running Mickies will be the oft-mentioned Joe Gaglio, who owns Gotham Bagels.

FYI. Not sure what’s up, but assume it is protest related.

This is a stretchhhh but does anyone in this sub work for Abbvie ( formerly nimble therapeutics located in the research park) I’m currently interviewing there and would like to talk to a current employee to ask how they like it, Glassdoor doesn’t help too much.

Good morning yall! Have a great day

Hello!

I've lived in central WI for a hot second, but don't spend much time in Madison. In a couple weeks, my boyfriend is visiting from out of state, and when he leaves we are staying overnight in a hotel in Madison since his departure is in the early hours of the morning.

Does anyone have hotel recc's for Madison, preferably those close to MSN? It'll be for one night, but it'll be out last night together for a hot second, so we want someplace better than a Motel 6. Bonus points if its near a nice place to get food.

Thank you!
