  • It was toward the end of my college tenure that the Overture Center started to take shape. One of the most enduring images I have of Madison was Dotty Dumpling's Dowry, the lone building to remain standing on an entire demolished city block, with a big banner strung across the front reading "Burgers Forever!" At the time nearly everyone I spoke with thought the whole enterprise was just so .... stupid. Didn't Madison already have a perfectly fine civic center? Why tear down places like Dotty's and Radical Rye for a trophy building? Coming from a larger city I couldn't help but pin it on hubris -- Madison's inflated self image rearing its ugly head. Why, if San Francisco, Minneapolis and Milwaukee have such amazing new arts centers, why can't Madison too??! Of course, it all could have turned out for the good if the end result had been something quality. I hate to say it, Madison, but you dropped the ball big time with this one. You hired a rock star architect long past his prime to crank out a throwaway building. Overall, I really don't see the point of this building. It hasn't given Madison any shows that it wouldn't have drawn before Overture. And it eliminated a lot of lively real estate right in the middle of town.
