Moving blues

Eviscerated sofas, cracked bookshelves, dirty mattresses and bags of trash lined the streets of Madison on Moving Day today as thousands of students deal with moving companies and being temporarily without a home.

“The worst thing is being homeless for a day,” said Tony Fischer, who was using his parents’ minivan to move from his Mifflin Street house with his roommate Lucas Brasig. Their lease, like hundreds of others near the University of Wisconsin campus, expires today.
