Haven't you figured it out yet? There are rules for us and then there are rules for them. Nobody will ever do anything about that van on main any more than anyone will do anything about the Red Pepper van taking up space in a public parking lot on Main street. One of the unwritten rules of owning a business downtown has always been never park your vehicle on Main Street or in a public lot. Always park it on a side street or a back lot. That way you're not taking away customer parking. The old business courtesies of downtown are long gone.

Stopped at the Dg Market today. I went down several aisles each one seemed to be stocked. Yes, the cash registers were down but that has happened to many stores in the area. If you give it time, I am certain the store will be able to satisfy most of the people downtown.

I agree the ugly van needs to go. The city used to have a hanging basket there and you couldn't get to it because of the van. It's time for it to go. How long must we wait? We are cleaning up the neighborhoods let's clean up the streets also.

Why is that big, ugly, old van allowed to sit in the same spot on Main Street year after year? The big arrow painted on it to tell people to turn is super distracting too. I have been looking at that thing for the last 20+ years. That van is the biggest eye sore on Main St. Would hate to have to live there and look at it all the time. Ridiculous.

I am so glad that they are finally going to "resurface" Main street. If they had taken the time to do that right the first time they would not have to redo it. They could use that money to do other streets that are in worse condition.

Let's interrupt another season business downtown while they resurface.

I know Mr.xxxx. I don't care how he parks. But he does stalk people and pester on facebook until you have to block him. He is mean, nasty hateful. He does this at the urging of a couple of his friends. If the cops are pestering him he probably deserves it. Power to the police. I hope they make him as miserable and he feels as unsafe as he has some of my friends

Hey, Mr. E.Brown is it a good idea to share the Mayor's private # to the Public?
This is not a Black or White matter. It's about using 2 or more places to park for others to use.Honestly if you don't like Madison to live in "Move" this is not a racial situation. And Trust me There are a few others and 1 is white the Mayor dislikes more than you. Reduce down to 2 cars and you will be fine. It sounds like you have Ben Crump ready to jump when you will need him.

I ma not a cop, but from what I hear who ever posting below they are on to something because all of it may not be true, from what I am hearing aand seeing half is true. The workforce is down that is because of the change in schedule. Mr. Brown having tow sticker after tow sticker???? I drove by he has plate that are valid and parked correct way what is the problem maybe move them every 5-6 days nothing the poilce can do.

What exactly is a blatant lie....the department being short xxxxx amount of officers? The chief giving directives to enforce ordnances so the department gets more money, directives to target ethan brown? Forced overtime? What isn't true, losing a guy as soon as he was hired? Manulating background checks? What isn't true bob/Shawn. Good officers are leaving, the department is in a bad place.
