Madison's southside welcomes new full-service grocery store
After years of planning, setbacks and construction, Maurer’s Urban Market opened its doors on Oct. 10 with a ribbon-cutting celebration led by Mayor Satya Rhodes-Conway. But why all of the fanfare? This city-owned grocery store is on Madison’s southside, an area that’s faced concerns of becoming a food desert, with the only other full-service grocery store, a Pick ‘N Save at 1312 Park St., plagued with closing rumors for the past decade.

Dapper Cadaver is a horror fanatic’s paradise
From the outside, Dapper Cadaver is virtually indistinguishable from the other warehouses that dot the industrial space south of Madison’s Beltline Highway. Inside, however, the self-described purveyor of “top-quality death-related and scientific props” is a horror fanatic’s Shangri-La. There are shelves of severed limbs and flayed torsos, and silicone organs smeared with fake blood. Next to a pile of dinosaur bones on the floor, a small open casket contains a dozen or so vintage dolls, as if the porcelain toddler from the “Annabelle” series decided to have a party and invited all her friends. The display case that acts as a counter for the showroom at the front of the warehouse holds nearly 40 replica human, animal and dinosaur skulls in various shapes and sizes. But it’s what happens beyond the showroom that really makes Dapper Cadaver unique.

Line Up For The Massive Egg Scrambler At This Madison, Wisconsin Breakfast Institution From The 1940s
Some Madison mornings start with a line on the sidewalk long before the first plate hits a table. The people in that line are not waiting for a concert or a game ticket. They are waiting for breakfast, and they have been doing it at one tiny diner since the late 1940s. Inside, the original menu and price list still hang on the wall, the tables sit close together, and the house specialty is an egg scrambler so large that finishing it counts as a small victory.

New Artwork on Display by Natalie Furtado
As Natalie became the weekly Bingo caller at Madison Senior Center, she spent more time with different elders. Natalie began to reflect and notice the different feelings she leaves each interaction with. She noticed that there is a certain stillness, and maybe sometimes an uneasiness, that exists when two people from polarizing age groups sit down, talk, and spend time together. Through interviews with senior adults, Natalie explores themes of aging, learning, loving, losing, and spending time with our elders. As overlapping topics emerge, this dual component project, consisting of a visual art installation and a video art collage, seeks to understand how spending time with the elderly may influence a person. Utilizing different techniques, overlaid with symbolism, Natalie dissects the stories of her aged peers to learn, when stripped down to the bare bones, what really matters as time goes on.

Baraboo’s Devil’s Lake State Park stacks 500-foot bluffs around a spring-fed lake
Devil’s Lake State Park covers more than 9,200 acres in Sauk County, just south of Baraboo, and it ranks as Wisconsin’s largest and most visited park. A 360-acre spring-fed lake sits at the center, framed by quartzite bluffs that rise 500 feet straight up. Boulder fields and forested ridges push the skyline higher than the flat farmland around it.

There’s A Sandwich Counter In Madison Where Students And Lawmakers Line Up For The Same Grilled Cheese
Two blocks of State Street separate the University of Wisconsin crowd from the Wisconsin State Capitol, and one busy counter sits right in the middle of that stretch. The cheesy comfort food served there is not a classic grilled cheese at all, but a slice of pizza piled with mac ‘n’ cheese that has earned a loyal following of its own.

What to do in Madison this weekend: Oct. 15-18, 2026
Pink Halo celebrates the release of the new album 'Daydream' Oct. 17, 2026, at High Noon Saloon. How We Got It Together, through Oct. 18, UW Humanities-Gallery 7 and Art Lofts: No ordinary gallery show, “How We Got It Together” is both retrospective and homage. More than 100 artists who have had their careers shaped by their study at UW-Madison exhibit in media including artist books, ceramics, collage, drawings, glass, installations, paintings, performances and performance documentation, photography, prints, sonic works, sculptures, textiles, and zines. Wow! And in this time of increasing scrutiny of a liberal arts education, the show looks at the value of studying art regardless of its ultimate “destination” as a career. “How We Got It Together” is installed chronologically (according to the year in which degrees were received) in three galleries — Gallery Seven of the Humanities Building, the Art Lofts Gallery and the Art Lofts Backspace Gallery. Each has its own reception and artists talks Oct. 15-17; see the full schedule at howwegotittogether.blog.
