Greenbush Neigborhood   Add to Favorites   Flag


  1. The Greenbush Neighborhood is bounded by Regent Street on the north, Randall Avenue on the west, Park Street on the east, and Vilas Park/Haywood Avenue on the south. The name is taken from the historic Greenbush addition, which served as the first home of many Italian and Eastern European immigrants to Madison at the close of the nineteenth and the early twentieth centuries. The current Greenbush Neighborhood contains the last of the original homes from that old neighborhood, most of which was demolished in the late 1960s in order to build Bayview, Gay Braxton, and Brittingham apartments. Today the Greenbush Neighborhood offers access to Vilas Beach, Vilas Park Zoo, the UW Arboretum, the UW campus, and a short bus ride or walk to Madison's thriving downtown. We also contain two of Madison's three hospitals within our neighborhood boundaries. The neighborhood offers a wide variety of homes, from efficiency apartments to new condominiums to gracious bungalows from the 1920s.

    Past Words of the Day


    Philadelphia's area code and a colloquial term for Philadelphia itself, as in the following sentence:

    "Allen Iverson was really representin' the 215 in Los Angeles last night when he torched Kobe."

    You may hear the locals refer to the Clinton Presidential Library this way. It does sort of resemble one.

    An infamous legal trial that took place in Phoenix in the 1960s, a complicated fiasco involving an inheritance and "scientific proof" for the existence of a human soul.

    A key ingredient for the infamous 'triple-bypass' breakfast sandwich; a sliced salami-like deli meat wrapped in a cloth...Trenton's ubiquitous mystery meat.

    In the early 1900s, the nickname for a group of early skyscrapers at the intersection of 20th Street and 1st Ave.

    The infamous NYC street vendor hot dog, generally Sabrett's brand shoved haphazardly into a soggy bun and topped with a variety of gloppy condiments. The consumption of this NYC grab-and-go staple is almost an urban rite of passage and the Manhattan version of Russian Roulette.

    Children's street game of bygone days, involving pink Spalding (or "spaldeen") ball and broomstick. Now sadly defunct.
