Taste of Madison

 When we visited Phil and Julie on our way from Door County to the airport, they took us to "A Taste of Madison." It was fun, but one thing I was more surprised by is the ease of which Wisconsinites use the square around the capital. It is used for this, for concerts, and a weekly farmer's market.

The idea of using public spaces is not new. But opening this space, so close to the state capital, is uncommon now in the age of terrorism and worry. But Madison uses the square a lot. Here are some pics.

The sun, the flag, the Capital, and the corn in front. It is a demo garden. The real corn is, like, 10 minutes away.


Me and Eddie at the balloon "Taste of Madison" sign. I turn my hat around so you could see my face. Didn't work.
