Ruskin Street: North Sherman and the generation gap
http://ruskinstreet.blogspot.com/2013/08/north-sherman-and-generation-gap.html
A quiet residential street in north Madison, and those of us who live on and near it. August 6, 2013. North Sherman and the generation gap. But that hasn't stopped former Ald. Dorothy Borchardt and the Northside Business Association from continuing to bloviate over email and talk radio. You might have noticed the "No TWLTL" buttons for sale at some store counters. They've raised money to contract for an "independent" study they're releasing next week. It's a fact: younger Americans are driving less.

Ruskin Street: Now it's Frugal Muse
http://ruskinstreet.blogspot.com/2013/09/now-its-frugal-muse.html
A quiet residential street in north Madison, and those of us who live on and near it. September 23, 2013. Now it's Frugal Muse. Frugal Muse announced last week. They're closing their Northgate location, confirming six months' rumors of their demise. I can't say I was surprised - the store has been in more and more disarray over my last few trips, no doubt a result of cutting staff costs to the bone. I'm sorry to see them go, despite how active they've been in the "No TWLTL" campaign. This has gotten me t...

Ruskin Street: R&B @ Warner Park is dead, long live the Mallards!
http://ruskinstreet.blogspot.com/2013/07/r-warner-park-is-dead-long-live-mallards.html
A quiet residential street in north Madison, and those of us who live on and near it. July 19, 2013. R&B @ Warner Park is dead, long live the Mallards! First off, I have to recognize the Mallards. And their GM Vern Stenman for their proposal. To continue Fourth of July fireworks in Warner Park. It's a credit to their organization that they stepped up so soon after Wednesday's announcement. Of Rhythm and Booms being moved downtown. Despite reports to the contrary. And I don't think the crowd was wrong.

Ruskin Street: May 2013
http://ruskinstreet.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html
A quiet residential street in north Madison, and those of us who live on and near it. May 4, 2013. Dorn closing is a sign.but of what? Announced what most of us in the neighborhood have known all week, that Dorn Hardware is closing their Northgate store after 51 years. There have been rumors that a major tenant would be leaving ever since the North Sherman safety project. Was announced, but the rumors usually identified Frugal Muse. Tom Dorn, heir to the family business, doesnt seem to think so.

A quiet residential street in north Madison, and those of us who live on and near it. September 11, 2013. Crime on Ruskin Street. Monday night's neighborhood association.

There are a few things to talk about, but I wanted to start off with this since it hits close to home. Do not reflect the situation on the ground. Residents and alders on the southwest side are demanding a new station in next year's ...

A quiet residential street in north Madison, and those of us who live on and near it. March 28, 2013. Election day Tuesday.woo-fricking-hoo. Updated 3/31, see below. Guess what, Tuesday is (yet another) election day and boy am I not at all excited.
