The Truth Booth

Carol Weidel, a Philadelphia native turned Madisonian of 49 years, is a retired state research analyst. She stopped by to chat and share her love for the city's cultural richness, attributing it to the unique blend of capitol and university influences. She painted a vivid picture of Madison's east-west divide, a rivalry that she characterized as more friendly than anything. Carol's expertise in data analysis, from vital records to Medicare claims, offers a fascinating glimpse into the city's growth. Her enthusiasm for local festivals, particularly the intimate Orton Park Festival (sorry, AtwoodFest), echoes the community spirit that keeps Madison's heart beating strong.
