Welcome to Ruskin Street

Hello, my name is Dan. My wife and I live on the corner of Ruskin and Manley Streets, on Madison's lovely (and affordable!) Northside. In most respects it's a typical, quiet residential street in a mid-sized Midwestern city.

This blog is about the issues facing those of us who live on or near Ruskin Street. Planners, organizations, and City Hall have some big ideas for our part of town.

Unfortunately, our Sherman neighborhood doesn't have the political muscle that folks on Willy or Monroe Streets enjoy. As a neighborhood in transition from older folks to young families, it's time for that to change. Hopefully this blog can be a part of that.

To my neighbors old and new, welcome! Be part of the conversation!

  1. As a fellow resident of Sherman Neighborhood, I wonder if you'd be interested in joining the Sherman Nextdoor community.

    Our neighborhood is using a private online network called Nextdoor Sherman, and we think you'll benefit from joining us. On our Nextdoor site, neighbors share community events, recommendations, items for sale/free, crime/safety concerns, ideas about how to make our neighborhood better, and more. Please join us to build a better neighborhood!

    It's in the pilot stage right now, but you can check it out by visiting: https://nextdoor.com/invite/dqwrjhdnhxtjtagsnbbp
