So we're trying something different today. Lost Madison receives lots of questions each week and we often don't know the answers ourselves nor have time to research...

Red Rock Lounge was a Disco on State Street above the Gyro Place in the early 90's. I worked there for awhile. Hahaha!
Jenny B. replied:
This was our Rennie's too. We were always down there as kids buying "Freezies" (Mr. Freeze pops). Seems like they were a nickel at one point. If you had a quarter, you'd be like, "Let's go to Rennie's. I'll buy." I remember Joe and Shirley (she had a big sty on her eye). Kimberly Carlson Anderson

In case Bruce Frey was thinking of something smaller than First Lutheran when he said "one room," there is also St. Mary of the Oak, built in 1857 & hidden deep in Indian Lake County Park http://hereisthechurch.wordpress.com/2011/06/06/st-mary-of-the-oaks-shrine-cross-plains-wisconsin/

BRUCE FREY: Are you talking about the chapel on the corner of Old Sauk and Pleasant, the one at the top of the hill? That is First Lutheran. My cousin was married there. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Lutheran_Church_%28Middleton,_Wisconsin%29
Steve K. replied:
Susan Motisi. I used to go see band there when I was at UW. Went to 'X' there with Xene Cervenka in the late 70's, plus lots of other bands. It was upstairs from the gyro place, and a real fire trap!!
Lynda M. replied:
Bruce Frey, I was a part of that little recreation, The Cardnial Newspaper put that on. They used to be in the same building I went to school at, Freedom House. And yes it was put on to show that there was more then 1 shot and it came from the front. Some where out there, there is a film. Not sure what TV news covered it. It was exciting to be a part of that
Shelly J. replied:
SUSAN MOTISU: Red Rock was around back in 1995 ish. It was on East Johnson. I remember it! They had crazy drink specials, like two for $1.50 Long Island iced teas, and jaggermeister was just becoming popular

Costco has the 108 oz cans for $3.50 (which is a mega-steal).

Hilldale Metcalfe's has them. They have both Cento and Alessi brands. Source: At Metcalfe's right now. Just checked.
tb_throwaway replied:
I'm fairly certain I've gotten San Marzano tomatoes at Woodman's before. I usually have to go to the organic/hippie/green section to find the cans though.
Where can I buy food grade dry ice? Does anyone know any grocery stores that sell food grade dry ice nearby? I need some for soda making
kingRidiculous replied:
I'm not sure what food grade dry ice is, but I see dry ice for sale at the Weis on Rt. 1 near Savage.
73DarkStar replied:
No idea on the food grade quality (maybe they sell both?), but I've bought dry ice from these guys in Elkridge for use during a mult-day music festival. Address is 7125 Troy Hill Dr B, Elkridge, MD 21075 and they're located off Route 1/I-95 in the Troy Hill complex that houses Ledo's, Mutiny, etc: https://www.continentalcarbonic.com/

Sandy C. replied:
Shawna: I remember when Dr. Harm was there too. Was funny that such a small town had two doctors. Doc Fast was a lot older though; I remember his office being there, but don't remember ever going to him.
