Like No Place Else

Fond memories of the unique aspects of living in Madison, WI while I went to school; this article was fun to read. Although I didn't think it was necessarily well written, "Temporary Refugees live it up during annual Homeless Night" brought back memories of living on West Wash, watching all the old couches pile up on the street, and taking in all of the funny ways that students dealt with stowing their stuff for 24 hours in August.

What did I do during this time? I remember borrowing a part of a friend's garage who lived off campus, driving a truck load of stuff to campus on the 15th, and in other years getting lucky with early move in dates. It is fun how something like that becomes so ingrained in the culture of a place. Like so many other things: no where else but Madison would this happen...
