Welcome to the Madison Commons, a website designed to provide news and information about all of Madison's neighborhoods and a crossroads for the discussion of community issues. The name comes from the idea of a village commons, a place for news, talk, debate, and some entertainment, too, that's open to everyone.
The Halloween spirit is alive and well in Madison. Homes and businesses around the city put up some quirky and spooky decorations. Spiders, ghosts, and of course, pumpkins! All photos by Aparna Vidyasagar.
