What is Madison Burg?

Hey you guys, welcome to Madison Burg! 

This blog is dedicated to those of you who don't hail from this little (or big depending on where you're from) town of Harrisonburg. Moving to a new town during your college years can be quite confusing - the culture is probably very different and you've probably found yourself asking the following questions in the amount of time you've been here. 

Where do people go for a new experience around here? 

Where should I shop? How can I get good deals? 

What do people do for fun? Is there a nightlife is Harrisonburg besides peoples apartments? 

What do the locals do? Can I be apart of it? 

If you've had any of the previous questions, then I encourage you to take a look around the website. Madison Burg is dedicated to helping the out-of-towner navigate their way around Harrisonburg in a way that is convenient for a JMU student. 

As someone who has grown up in Harrisonburg her whole life, I'm aware of what Harrisonburg has to offer, and trust me, there are some great things if you're willing to branch out. On the other hand, I'm also very aware of things that it lacks and I have had to come up with some realistic solutions for you all. All in all, this website is designed as a guide to show you how to best enjoy living here. 

I hope this website helps you! Please email me if you have questions, ideas, or if there are things you think I should include!
