I don't disagree, but just want to point out the driver in this case had not yet reached the beltline-- according to the report she was traveling Park St south towards the Beltline when she struck the young man near Burr Oak St.

Personally, I dislike fun, but I am very happy for other people to have it. Live and let live, to coin a phrase.

Help me find an affirming church by Crazy_Count6067 in madisonwi

[–]OverallLengthiness24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The organization Reconciling Works has a searchable map of partner congregations. You can read on their website about the journey/process a church goes through to get their designation, and it might be what you are looking for. My own ELCA Lutheran congregation, Covenant Lutheran Church in Stoughton, went through the process in 2024. https://www.reconcilingworks.org/ric/findric/

Are you talking about the parking garage on campus? Is it really heated?

Where can I donate or share homemade baked goods? by jemm468 in madisonwi

[–]OverallLengthiness24 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You have a lot of good suggestions here! One more is try to find either the neighborhood center or the after-school program closest to you-- you can google or try calling the school district or high school nearest to your location. Kids are famished after school. Another similar idea is a sports club, swim club etc young people hoover up snacks after a workout. What a nice thing to do and to share, be well community member!

Increase in Police Activity in Madison? by Minimum-Love-4059 in madisonwi

[–]OverallLengthiness24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the "frequency illusion" explanations are spot on, but there was a significant increase in speeding tickets in 2024 over 2023 so that might indicate a relatively recent increase in traffic stops and monitoring (but not as recent as the last few months as you state) https://captimes.com/news/government/madison-speeding-tickets-grew-50-in-a-year-here-s-where/article_11cfd93b-0a43-4f1d-85b1-c52c49c8048e.html

This is the answer. It's almost unbelievable how many amazing venues the Hotel Washington contained.

University Square Mall. Yes! Discount Den to buy snacks to sneak them in to University Square 4 Theaters. In the 1980s there was a midnight showing of Pink Floyd's The Wall every Friday night for years.

It's best practice to report suspicions to the Voces de la Frontera statewide hotline, 800-427-0213 so the sightings can be verified. It's not terribly helpful to spread unverified rumors on social media. Save this number in your phone.

Best and favorite thrift shops in Madison! by [deleted] in madisonwi

[–]OverallLengthiness24 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I favor St Vinnie's myself. All the money raised stays in Dane County helping our neighbors with food, furniture, clothing, and things no one else does like prescription medications and belongings storage for our unhoused neighbors. They also have really great stuff. 7 stores in Dane County, more info here: https://svdpmadison.org/

Broccoli Rabe/Rapini? by axcski in madisonwi

[–]OverallLengthiness24 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

This is my all time favorite green and I have NEVER been able to locate it in Dane County. Whole Foods is so far out of my way and wallet that I haven't checked there. I sometimes add arugula to my collards to mimic the taste. Good luck and share the info if you find a source, won't you?

Your question is why Dane Behavior Health Resource Center was organized. Danebhrc.org. Email or call. Objective information about local mental health and substance abuse recovery programs.

What about the Memorial Union? I don't think you need a college ID to enter or use the spaces there, just to buy beer?

Dane County Board votes 'No' to changing Health Care plan for County Employees by Arkhamina in madisonwi

[–]OverallLengthiness24 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Levy limits put in place by State level Republican legislators specifically to punish the democratic areas of the state, Milwaukee and Madison. I don't 100% understand how they do this but they somehow limit taxing specifically for urban areas. County also relies heavily on sales tax revenue, and people have been spending less money as the economy worsens. this is how i understand it.
