local neighborhood: Verona Wisconsin, why it continues to thrive. - 03/13/10 02:06 PM
Verona, WI
In the past five years, Verona has grown immensely.  Being an attractive community it has attracted recent college grads and young families.
Growth in the community has been hugely expanded because of employment at Epic Systems, a local healthcare software company.  Epic is growing by leaps and bounds and while many new employees are too young or fresh out of college to buy homes or live in the area, there is a constant and growing number who are becoming homeowning Veronans(or is it Veronites?)  Their well paying salaries are helping shield the area from the effects of recession.

You have it.  Verona's very own Parade of Chairs.

local neighborhood: Why i love home town Verona Wi USA - 03/02/10 02:29 PM
My wife and I moved to Verona Wi about 10 years ago.  I am in Real Estate and i help people buy and sell homes.  I showed this home and after the buyers passed on it decided it was worth showing my wife, Lucy. 
We loved it and put an offer on it, got it, sold our home, moved in!  All pretty easy.  4 ft of snow drifted across our driveway the first weekend we were in, as if to welcome us!
For several years we never really did much in Verona, we had no reason.  We drove straight to jobs, friends in … (3 comments)

local neighborhood: E.V.P. Quality Coffee in Madison Wisconsin - 07/25/08 03:08 PM
EVP Coffee, Madison Wisconsin,
I was out and about in Madison Wisconsin today, had a spare hour so i stopped in at a new (to me) Coffee shop.
I was very pleasantly surprised to see a spacious yet quiet and comfortable place.  It was busy and I soon found out why.  The coffee is strong, much more so that the run of the mill shop.  So much so that the coffee tender, Paul offered to dilute it.  It was very nice. Apparently they Roast their own beans on the East Madison location.
I decided to head to an outside sitting area where … (1 comments)

local neighborhood: "Made in US" and "customer service" in retail - 03/20/08 05:29 PM
Shoe Shopping!! and these two phrases are hardly what you think of, more like oxymorons.  In this day of the imported $20 dollar cheap imports piled high at the big box or discount stores. 
In-fact, in my 15 years in the US, I really thought the idea of customer service was being walked to the shoe isle in some of the better big box stores.  And when I asked if a shoe was made in the US I was laughed at.
Well, I am starting to have problems with my feet and was directed to Morgans Shoes a well known establishment in Hilldale Mall … (5 comments)

I  love the old greasy spoon diner.  One of the ones I loved to stop at was Bev's on East Wash (For those outside of Madison this is East Washington is the main traffic flow through to the capital from the East.  It was a pretty seedy area and the restaurant and location and decor matched. Now it is gone!
I drove by the other day and it looked like this.
Yes the hole in the ground just behind the large sign post.  But the good news is that the whole area will be so much improved.  The neighborhood is looking forward to seeing … (0 comments)
