It was nice to see my Madison audio tour featured on the rent.com blog: Hidden Gems in Madison, WI: 5 Unique Experiences You Can’t Miss. Here’s the segment:

“For the history buffs interested in the hidden gems in Madison, author Frank Bures, shares a great tip. “There are many places in Madison worth a stop, but one of best is Monona Terrace, the modernist, Frank Lloyd Wright-designed conference center that was first proposed in 1938, and finally built in 1997. On the roof of Monona Terrace is a small memorial to Otis Redding, the 26-years-old singer who died in a plane crash in Lake Monona in 1967, one month before his song ’Sittin’ on The Dock of the Bay’ was released.”

And here’s some of the nice feedback the tour has gotten (by people I don’t know!):

“Amazing – anyone new to Madison should start with this tour. I loved all of it- it has just the right mix of history and stories and is not too long – it was a perfect introduction to this beautiful city. Thank you! “

“This is one of the best self-guided tours I’ve experienced….Definitely would recommend.”
