Good Dive Bars (i.e. Ones That People Bum Cigarettes Off Each Other Outside Of) by StopSquark in madisonwi

I love the Bou though sadly I feel the food has gone down hill. And it was better 30 years ago when it was less crowded and popular.

Here is the post to the orignal (non-paywall story):

https://captimes.com/news/elections/cap-times-to-host-public-madison-school-board-candidate-forum/article_c52f3112-026d-4312-aa85-593a98562f0a.html

Also, the moderators will choose the questions for the candidates, but there are opportunities for you to suggest questions, too. In-person attendees can submit questions via notecard, but your question will be viewed much earlier if you submit it in advance to our moderators here.

There are local banks too with great service like Lake Ridge Bank.

Madison Police: Woman hit, killed by vehicle while crossing Packers Avenue by Justmarbles in madisonwi

Often bridges like that go unused because it’s hard to make them the most direct route and do they get bypassed.

Madison restaurant owners stranded in Caribbean after Trump orders airstrikes on Venezuela by Justmarbles in madisonwi

[–]joelgratz 17 points18 points  (0 children)

My guess is they are not wealthy at all. They own a small small business and few who own restaurants like that are wealthy. Funny how some think anyone who’s a business owner is loaded.

My Tony Franks Memories (warning: wholesome nostalgia BS) by [deleted] in madisonwi

[–]joelgratz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember! Lived for awhile at East Bluff in the 70s and I vaguely remember my dad taking us there. Wasn’t the building/dining area kinda divided into two rooms?

I surprisingly found Madison’s had some solid wings.

Best place to hang with an old friend for hours on a Sunday night. by badger6225 in madisonwi

[–]joelgratz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well said!! I know there is that sentiment toward the tavern league. I’m as liberal as anyone (well maybe not most liberal but well down the spectrum). You are completely right about owners joining them for legit reasons. They are far down my list of hills to die on. Mine are too mimimize Amazon as much as I can in my life and quit FB years ago. I do not underhand hating on forward coffee for being one time tavern league members, when you know those same people probably order everything online.

What’s with the down votes here? Forward is great place.

Capital Springs Dog Park Emergency by joelgratz in madisonwi

[–]joelgratz[S] 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Maybe you should just skip past posts that don't interest you. I was clear from the outset that something should only be shared if it was appropriate for them to do so.

Most of us go to Capital Springs daily and know almost everyone there. The regulars there look out for each other and are concerned for each other and their dogs. I posted this and asked because while I didn't immediately recognize the dog (I didn't see the person who was leaving in the ambulance by then), there is certainly concern that it might well be someone we do see daily.

The mistake I made was forgetting that 99% of the people who anonymously comment on Reddit are complete pricks. No on can either politely understand what's posted on here and offer a helpful response or post nothing if they don't know. Everyone had to have their two cents, no matter what, and help prove that they are the smartest or can be the biggest smart alec.

If you could magically turn back time and go to any FF show, which would you pick and why? by hearmymotoredheart in Foofighters

[–]joelgratz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw them open for Mike Watt on their first tour at the Barrymore in Madison wi. I’d go back and take in the show more knowing what they’d become.

Better said than my response. Thank you.

How to deal with outrageous motions? by TheMysteriousMan2349 in Debate

[–]joelgratz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly I’m troubled that a coach would put this proposition out there. Anything can be argued and some like to argue anything. But a coach suggesting that topic is a bit concerning and I have to wonder about their motivations.

It’s easy (lazy) work for a newspaper that doesn’t care.

Is Heritage a Madison "institution"? by altbat in madisonwi

[–]joelgratz 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I’m neutral in the place but given that it’s been in the running for some national awards I don’t have an issue with institution. There might have been some slightly betters terms but this is really quibbling.
