🥯 The best bagels in Madison
April 3, 2025 · —Rob Thomas
Good morning, Madison! Election Night was a strain on everybody, but maybe for nobody more than the guy who drove a Cybertruck onto Library Mall and smashed glass objects on the ground while shouting “Free weed!” If it was supposed to be an April Fool’s Day prank, it was one that got him arrested 🚓

What's CITY Talking About?

🌞 Sunburst Chairs Return to UW Terrace on April 16
