The West Gallery of the State Capitol in the evening.

If I could live anywhere in Madison, I'd love to move into The Baskerville on Hamilton Street.


Not only would I be able to walk through these doors every day, but I'd be less than one block away from capitol square and right across the street from the Tornado!

The Tornado on Main Street must have been a pretty swank place at one time ... and it still may be — I have yet to visit. The sign out back dates the Tornado to the neon era.




And the neon still burns strong! Here's the sign at the Hamilton Street entrance of the Tornado by night.

Michelangelo's on State Street (although this is the Carroll Street entrance). Our favorite coffee shop in Madison, if not in Wisconsin.

What's up, Doc? He's lost his carrot, and he's putting on a bit of weight. A martini-drinking Bugs Bunny on the side of a building, Carroll Street.
