He’s starting to get a bit thin at the top but he glows like he’s made of fire.

On the west side. Last year, it was so vibrant that I saw a couple families stop by on the weekend to take family photos with it as a backdrop. 🙂 It's still beautiful this year, but maybe last weekend was it's peak.

I was checking the early voting hours for my local city hall. Google seems to think there isn’t early voting which is ridiculous because I just voted there…

Remember to confirm all you find on the internet concerning the election, including when and where you can vote.

Edited for spelling.

My brother died years ago from a heroin overdose. I hate to see stories like this.

Mastercard announced that 17 more tour locations will be announced on Thursday and this is on UWBADGERS Instagram story (multiple other suspected venues have posted pictures with yellow lighting as well)

Found this beut while I was riding around a couple years ago. The contrast of the colors was amazing and I figured even if it's not Madison, people might appreciate it... :D

As someone relatively new to the Madison area, can someone please explain why the westbound Beltline exit for Dodgeville/Midvale Road is ALWAYS backed up? 😂 It doesn’t seem to matter what time of day it is, there’s almost always a line of cars waiting to exit. Is there a reason for this, or is it just one of those Madison traffic mysteries I need to learn to accept? 🤣

This cat has been hanging out around Glacier Valley apartments for over a year now. I’ve assumed it may be an indoor/outdoor cat from somewhere nearby, but it’s still worth putting its picture out there!

Last summer, this friend was incredibly shy and cautious. Some new residents have been leaving food out for this cat, and today it was incredibly affectionate and seeking attention.

Hi all,

It’s me again with an update about my bike. It was spotted at the Whole Foods in Hilldale but we just missed the bike and person who took it. The suspect has a white hat on, has black gloves on, is wearing a black and white bomber jacket, appears to be white, is about 5’9”, skinny, is wearing black jeans, and white shoes. I do have a photo of him but don’t want to break Reddit’s guidelines.

Please if you see him contact me and/or call the Madison Police. MPD did come to the scene and is searching for him as well. The suspect has a knife so please don’t approach him.

Also, huge thank you to the Reddit user who let me know it was at Whole Foods! Without your message we wouldn’t have been able to find all this out.

Thank you.

The man staying under the bridge is casually walking on the road trying to get hit.

Have any of my Dane County neighbors made a career change, vastly different than what you’ve done for most of your career? Why did you make the change? Any advice you would give for those wanting to make the switch and delve into something new? I’m a professional with an advanced degree working in healthcare and want something different, currently my mind is set on IT (not sure what area, exactly) and hope it’s not too late!

Glad to see Madison residents show up for this meeting! With all the controversy on data centers & AI, are there any thoughts from folks who attended the meeting on the proposed drafts? Did you feel heard by the folks presenting and that your questions & concerns were addressed?

Posting this Tuesday morning - there is a pop up shop at the corner of Main and Verona Ave. They have hats, shirts, flags, etc. He says the gas station owner here let them set up. He says they'll have World Series stuff tomorrow or Thursday if they win tonight here.

He said they has been somewhere in Madison but had some issue so they moved here. Anyway just posting in case anyone looking for cheaper stuff. No affiliation, just saw him setting up on my way to work.

This seemed like a good place to ask this question as it's Madison.

I'm currently in the interview process for a position at the state. The opportunity and team seem fantastic.

I have 10 years of service as a federal worker. Feeling beat down. Been through a lot the last 2 years.

Have other feds in the area moved to state employment? How was that transition? What do you miss? Do you regret it?

Just wanted to warn folks to be wary of these folks. I went with these folks based on Google Reviews: first mistake.

Pickup occurred blind because every single email they sent to me was flagged as spam.

I would describe the experience as top-tier pricing for mid results. I was called a dick for saying that.

They went with “my photos don’t show what you’re seeing” and decided to gaslight me about the two dirt spots that were on car that they failed to remove after 300 bucks plus of exterior detailing.

There are a lot of detail shops in town. And since they clearly manipulate reviews (they blocked mine from publishing), I thought I’d use the sub to warn off others from using Extreme Auto Detail.

As always, YMMV.

Someone took my bike. If anyone sees a blue Centurion bike for sale or somewhere around town, it would be awesome if you could let me know. It had a kryptonite lock on it but that's probably gone. Doesn't have the drink holder anymore.

TIA

Can we get a single thread going for today (10/27) to post any official or unofficial watch parties that are going on in Madison. I have only heard of Working Draft with an official watch party (https://www.workingdraftbeer.com/events/2026/10/27/game-four-of-the-fall-classic-go-crew) what else is going on tonight?

I played baseball as a kid in my community's youth league. Now I'm in my 40s and I have a random desire to take some swings. I wasn't that good as a kid and will probably suck, but I'd like to try.

What is a batting cage facility in the Madison area you would recommend? Somewhere I won't feel too uncomfortable or embarrassed taking a few bad swings at very slow balls. I don't want any help or looky loos, just somewhere to go by myself and give it a shot.

Anybody else dealing with a TDS outage right now? The customer support lines seem to be down, as well as their outage map. Not ideal timing with the Brewers game!

Update: We were able to access the game with a YoutubeTV free trial. Still, not great timing!
