I’ve seen a few posts and discussions circulating on this topic and I found this article recently. It gives a more in depth look into what truly happened if you were curious for an update. The whole thing is so disgusting and disturbing.

Just need to say this, but by far these are the best burgers in Madison. The rotating burger of the week has been a hit every time. The standard menu burgers have never disappointed. They are perfectly cooked and huge. Solid pricing. Highly recommend!!!

I need to be out this week and have absolutely zero dollars, zero family, no car, no job, I have insurance and food stamps and that is about it.

Is my only option the men’s shelter?

Trying to find some community where I don't have to claim faith in God (or, for that matter, give a Pledge of Allegiance to the good ol' American flag). I just want to be around good people doing good things.

Hello good people of this subreddit!

I am planning a trip to visit Madison this summer, to meet with my SO. Coming from Slovakia, and this being my first flight abroad, and vacation I take on my own. I want to be as prepared as possible. (I will be visiting early to mid August)

Is there anyone from Slovakia/Czech Republic living in Madison, that would be kind enough to share with me their experience with how things are over there?

For the locals, is there anything I should know about before I visit, or anything I should do, and prepare for that would be a surprise for an European? I want to make the most out of the time I spend in your beautiful city, so I am hoping for a 11 night visit. Any cool spots that are not widely known?

I am thankful for any information and help.

Ok, so my dental situation is a bit complicated but I’ll try and be specific enough for context…

I had great dental care growing up and through to college. Never a single cavity and saw a dentist every six months under my parents’ dental plan. Like I’m sure many others, once in the dorms in college, I started really slacking on brushing and flossing. Just before I finished college, I got my first two fillings. Since then I have had rough personal issues and recently had a whole slew of dental work done on the west side of Madison. Everything from a couple small fillings to an extraction/bridge to a root canal, all done over a few weeks.

The dentist and the dental office were nice and seemed to know what they were talking about. But the thing is, HOW would I ever know if they’re talking out of their asses? And after a couple weeks after that work, I had to come back in and get it fixed or “upgraded.” On one single tooth, the guy did a filling, then a root canal and THEN told me I had a fractured tooth and that I needed to now have a crown installed. And the most infuriating part is I’ve been paying out of pocket for ALL this shit. I have no insurance. So now that he’s “fixed“ the same tooth twice…and CHARGED me twice…he’s now quoting me 2000 fucking dollars for a crown that maybe he should’ve done to begin with. He’s being “charitable” by giving me a $100 credit because of my history with the clinic. But that’s fucked up, I’ve been telling him since the start that tooth has been hurting even after the work. And he’s charged me 150 bucks just in x rays that he says didn’t show a fractured tooth…but of course that’s money in his fucking pocket.

I wanted to stay where all my records are, but that same tooth is now so painful that it doesn’t let me eat anything cold and even wakes me up at night with eye watering pain. So where do you guys go, and would you recommend that place for me? I can’t afford a crown but I also can’t afford to live with this pain. It really sucks I have no idea what contemporary dentistry costs and I’ve been forced to just be at the mercy of some guy I only met a couple months ago…what a fucked up system.

Online reviews can be brigaded, so I’m asking here. I appreciate any suggestions and between this and healthcare, this country sure does know how to thriftily take care of their patients! 😡

Hi friends! I was wondering whether any longtime Wisconsin Film Festgoers could riddle me this: if there's a showing listed as "RUSH ONLY", is this code for "Don't bother, sucker, all sold out", or could I theoretically beat the odds by arriving two hours early or however long is necessary?

Thanks buddies!

Posting here because WI. I just noticed my ID is expired. 😭 Can I still vote tomorrow if I renew it today?

I’m looking for someplace with vegetarian options; I would prefer to spend no more than $40 per person (w/o drinks).

Thanks in advance for any tips!

Hi there, I am a student at UW-Madison’s School of Journalism and Mass Communication. I am currently in an investigative reporting class, where each student needs to find one investigative/long-form story to work on throughout the semester. For my story, I have decided to focus on the impacts of the Dairy Drive encampment closing. One aspect of this story that has been challenging is finding someone who used to live on Dairy Drive, learning more about their perspective and experience of living there, and the effects post-closing. If anyone knows someone or has information on this, please reach out!

Low income housing programs?

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

We are traveling to an out-of-state wedding, and the couple loves Spotted Cow. I know you can buy a case after security at the Milwaukee airport, but I've never flown out of Madison before. Is there a shop selling it post-security?
