There are eccentric customs, strange terms and unspoken rules that even natives can’t keep straight. “Madison: A User’s Guide” is for newbies who need a crash course in the city’s essentials. It can also be helpful for longtime residents who might not know all there is to know about the Capital City, a.k.a. Mad City, a.k.a. Mad Town, a.k.a…well, read on.

“The Co-op”

Although Madison has other co-ops, if someone refers to “The Co-op,” it means the Willy Street Co-op, the last remaining Madison grocery cooperative.

“Achievement gap”

The streets that parallel the Capitol Square, one block away, and absorb most of the auto traffic (Webster, Dayton, Fairchild and Doty). Beware of rogue bicyclists, and watch out for pedestrians.

W. Wash.

“Miffland” Nickname for the MifflinBassett Street neighborhood.

“Gilligan’s Island”

A shallow spot on the Yahara River between Lakes Monona and Waubesa where boaters congregate to party. This can be glimpsed from the Beltline bridge over the Yahara River.

Exact boundaries of Madison’s main highway artery differ, but certainly the term indicates the road that is the union of highways 12/18 starting at the eastern end at highway 51 (Stoughton Road) and going west all the way to University Avenue. On the way it also includes the paths of highways 14 and 151. Numbers aside, it’s a good one to avoid during rush hours: 7:30-9 a.m., 4:30-6 p.m.

Michelle Dolbeau Anich pHOTO

“The Lost City”

A would-be housing development on the west side, a.k.a. Lake Forest, that went bust in the Great Depression and is now part of the UW-Madison Arboretum. Last remnants of sidewalks, curbs and a few foundations can still be located. Not to be confused with Union Corners, a would-be development on the east side where Winnebago meets Milwaukee, North Street and East Wash, that went bust in the Great Recession.

“FitzWalkerstan”

Coined by then-District 78 Rep. Mark Pocan during 2011 protests at the Capitol. It refers to the conservative political atmosphere in Wisconsin created when Gov. Scott Walker and state Sen. Scott Fitzgerald came to power in 2010.

“On your left!”

A sometimes informative, sometimes startling statement, shouted by the person about to pass on the bike paths. Watch where you’re going. Wear a helmet.

“Hippie Christmas”

Aug. 15, the date most downtown and campus rentals turn over, and trash and treasure can be found heaped at the curbs.

William Freeman Vilas (1840-1908) was a U.S. senator, Civil War officer, University of Wisconsin professor, postmaster general and secretary of the Interior. The Vilas family name graces a zoo (Henry was William’s son), a park, a neighborhood, a university building, a beach, a couple of local streets and roads, and a county way up north.

Street nicknames East Wash = East Washington Avenue. Six lanes wide, the main route from

the east side to downtown, and from Milwaukee via I-94 and Highway 30. West Wash is on the opposite side of the Capitol; doesn’t quite have the same ring to it.

Fish Hatch = Fish Hatchery Road. Yes, Madison has a fish hatchery. Guess how you get there. Starts at Park Street, a few blocks south of West Washington, works its way through Fitchburg.

Old University = The stretch of University Avenue from Breese Terrace to Grand Avenue that is bypassed as a major thoroughfare by Campus Drive. Willy = Williamson Street, the east-side artery around Lake Monona starts at the city’s craziest intersection where John Nolen meets Wilson and Blair; Willy turns into Eastwood as you cross the Yahara, and then Atwood, which in turn becomes Monona Drive. Jenny = Jenifer Street, which runs parallel to Willy on the isthmus.

Isthmus readers share data the NSA can only dream of

Illustrations by Tommy Washbush

We have always subscribed to the position that “you don’t know unless you ask,” which is why, every year, we ask Isthmus readers questions regarding their favorite things in Madison. We always learn a lot from the answers. Of course this year, America has discovered that certain parties — for example, the National Security Agency — do get to know without asking. We still like our way better. It’s polite, it’s honest, and it’s neighborly. Madison Should Win... Most likely to secede

While there is always some feistiness in the poll responses, on the whole it seems that readers love Madison and are more than willing to share their opinions about where to shop, dine, dance and goof off. When we asked what award you’d

give Madison if you could, readers were effusive. “The Cultured Pearl of the Midwest Award,” wrote one respondent — “so much great art, music, food, sporting and community activities for such a small town!” The “Most Isthmusses (Isthmussi?) per capita (capiti?) Award,” suggested another. It’s not clear whether this is meant to refer to the land mass, or copies of the paper, but that’d be “Isthmi,” we think. Ultimately, readers gave Madison the “Best Darn City...Period” award. Thank you to everyone who participated. And to learn more...read on. Isthmus Annual Manual k 2013-2014

Some less inspired votes in the category of “Favorite

Gift Shop” included “East-side shoe repair,” “Walgreens,” “Party City” and “None.” Hey, how did you know that our winter boots are coming apart, that we need cough syrup and that we’d love some Mylar balloons?

While there are gyms across the city to

choose from, some prefer nature’s training regimen. The Ice Age Trail got a vote, as did Madison’s parks and bike paths, the Arboretum and “the great outdoors.” Likewise, “Alternative Health Resource” responses included “my bike,” “the MATC h:\_ads\annman\hilldaleb_12h.pdf pool” and “my lady friend.” Whatever works, people.

That nuts-and-bolts reporting ties for second place with WISC-TV’s Jessica Arp’s political Twitter. Arp also tied for first-place reporting honors with Bill Lueders of the Wisconsin Center for Investigative Journalism. The state of the flow of information is good.

Parking Compared to New York or Boston, it’s easy to park here. Compared to Rhinelander, it’s not — especially during a snow emergency.

Linda Falkenstein

Chalk art, Capitol Square. Sometimes political messages — sometimes, a valentine.

Alternate Side Parking in Winter

Alternate Side Parking regulations are in effect citywide in Madison from Nov. 15 to March 15. That’s whether it’s actually snowing or not. If you park on the wrong side of the street, expect a ticket. Park on the even-house numbered side of the street between 1 am and 7 am on even-numbered days and on the odd-house numbered side of the street between 1 am and 7 am on odd-numbered days. In the Downtown-Isthmus Snow Emergency Zone, however, alternate side parking rules are in effect only when a snow emergency has been declared. For maps and more info, call 608-261-9111 or see: cityofmadison.com/residents/winter/ parking/alternateSideParking.cfm

Residential Parking Permits 608-267-1104

If you live downtown, on the isthmus or near campus, you may live in an area covered by the Residential Parking Permit Program. You may purchase a special permit from the Madison Parking Division Office that allows residents of these areas to exceed the posted one or two hour parking limit on the street. The permit doesn’t guarantee a parking place; it allows the right to park, if you find a parking space. That can be a very big “if.” Permits can be obtained from the Madison Parking Division, in Suite 100 of the Madison Municipal Building at 215 Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard.; cost is $21.

What is a “snow emergency”?

It could be when your snow blower doesn’t start. However, officially, a Declared Snow Emergency is when snow accumulates to 3” or more and all the streets in the downtown Snow Emergency Zone must be plowed. Alternate side parking rules in the Snow Emergency Zone must be followed for a minimum of the next two nights. A Snow Emergency will always be declared prior to 9 pm if it is to take effect that night.

It’s been another strong year for Madison’s food scene. Though no one won a James Beard award this year, we garnered an impressive number of semifinalist nominations. Elizabeth Dahl of Nostrano was nominated as Outstanding Pastry Chef, Forequarter as Best New Restaurant, L’Etoile for Outstanding Wine Program, Daniel Bonanno from A Pig in a Fur Coat as Rising Star Chef of the Year (for a chef under age 30), and John Gadau and Phillip Hurley of Sardine for Best Chef-Midwest — an award nabbed last year by Chef Tory Miller. As we go to press, Forequarter has been nominated by Bon Appetit magazine as one of the 50 best restaurants in the country, and is the only nominee from Wisconsin.
