“We try to keep music accessible,” Toffer Christensen says, his voice permeating the soon-to-open Atwood Music Hall. “We want people to go out and see as many shows as possible.” Christensen, co-owner of the new venue at 1925 Winnebago St. as well as the Bur Oak, down the street, is in some ways sticking his neck out with the new hall, which, at its 700-seat capacity, will need to attract some national touring bands to fill its space.

Big smiles. Squeals of joy. Pastel colors. Sparkly unicorns and other stuffed animals that line tables, shelves and the display windows. Those are wares and reactions you can find and see at the recently opened Mochi store at 631 State St. in Madison’s Downtown. Co-owner Bonnie Liu, who has lived in Madison for 14 years, said the store resembles the adorable shops she frequented as a girl growing up in China.
