Gorham to Sherman through Maple Bluff to Woodward to Marcy to Troy to Goodland through Lakeview Park to Northview to Melby to Mandrake to Monica to Irene, through the park to School to Wheeler to Sherman back-

Today I decided to go somewhere new and explore the northside neighborhoods. It seems to be a mostly lower income part of Madison but not especially rough. It got nicer as I headed north toward Wheeler and I might not want to hang around Troy after dark. The area near Wheeler and Sherman reminds me of the super suburban part of the west side near my old apartment. Whereas on the west side, there are often clear boundaries between the couple rough ghettos and mostly super rich neighborhoods, on the east side things tend to change a lot quicker to where few places are either super rich or scary. It reminds me more of Sandusky.
