Here’s a look at the 7-day weather forecast for Madison, AL:

 

...UPDATE!! MY PKG HAS BEEN PUT IN MY MAILBOX! THANK YOU to the person who put it there. I really appreciate it. Please let me know who you are so I can thank you in person.... - Kim T

 

Got a neighbor who made your day?

Maybe they brought your trash can in, waved from the porch or just made you smile... We’re collecting shoutouts for local folks who deserve a little appreciation. 💛

 

My plan for spring forward is simple. Go to bed early Saturday then spend all day Sunday wondering why I feel like I pulled an all nighter at a book club.

Kyuramen

Kyuramen finally landed in Huntsville after months of local buzz and it is the kind of place you can feel before you even taste the food. Kyuramen says the brand started in 2014 and has expanded to 126+ locations.

 

You can expect a lively modern spot built for groups and photos. The honeycomb booth seating is the headline feature and it turns a regular dinner into an experience. There are also private booths, hives and a bar... many different seating arrangements.


More than just ramen. The menu lineup is built around Japanese ramen plus appetizers, rice options (including omurice and rice burgers), desserts and drinks. Drinks lean heavily non-alcoholic, especially the TBaar side with boba style options and fruit teas. Adult beverages were not listed on the menu.

 

Here’s the fun part: if you finish your ramen you can reveal a stamp at the bottom of the bowl that can win you freebies like a drink, dessert, appetizer or even a free bowl next time.


The consensus so far is... it’s busy, it’s fun and it delivers. If you go on a Friday, expect a wait, but it’s definitely worth it for the full experience.

Echo Studio with Cody Edger

If you have ever wished headshots felt less stiff and more like you then you need to meet Cody Edger of Echo Studio. Cody brings good energy and real encouragement to every session so you walk out with photos you love and a confidence boost you did not expect.

 

For Cody, Madison is not just where the business is, it is home always and forever. He loves seeing how the city has grown over the years and being part of a community that is willing to grow where it is needed.

 

Echo Studio is all about clean and simple headshots: a clean backdrop, plenty of light and a less-is-more approach so nothing distracts from the person in the photo. The goal is for you to shine through in your images.

Cody runs Echo Studio right out of his garage studio here in town. He really enjoys getting to know his clients and what it is they’re setting out to do. Also, fair warning... Cody is an encourager and will be your hype person for at least 45 minutes.

 

 

Customers regularly mention the photo quality but what Cody treasures most is hearing that he made the session feel easy. He focuses on making people feel comfortable, supported and encouraged every step of the way.


Born and raised in Madison, Cody loves serving the community that raised him. From headshots to family photos to personal portraits, he is grateful to help people show up with confidence in this digital age.

 

After 15 years working in ministry, Cody knew he wanted to keep helping people step into their purpose. He believes a good photo of yourself is vital right now and he wants to help you show up well in the season you are in.

 

 

Mention you heard about Echo Studio through The Madison Memo and Cody will give you $50 off a headshot photo session.
