I did a Madison-based “Interesting News from Elsewhere” post awhile back, but I thought I would put up some of the best Madison blogs for incoming Bobs:
Food
Madison A to Z is probably my favorite Madison blog and a great way to learn about all the food in Madison.
Politics
The Sconz is great for breaking news and continuous updates about state and local politics.
Waxing America belongs to La Follette professor and former Madison mayor, Paul Soglin.
Arts and Culture
Dane101 doesn’t just write about the arts, but their arts coverage is great.
News and Opinion
Forward Lookout features Dane County news and opinions.
The Mayor’s Blog
Bike Blog (Actually in Milwaukee)
Over the Bars in Milwaukee is a blog dedicated to city cycling in Wisconsin.
These are just the ones I read, so I am sure I am missing something. Anyone have any to add? Put them in the comments and tell me why you like reading it. I’ll add those blogs to the post.
Sylvia Fredericks spends a lot of time reading blogs (and some time writing this one).
La Flog 
Thank you!
