Been up there quite a few times over the years; seemed to be a quite decent place back in the early 2000’s.
“...seemed to be a quite decent place back in the early 2000s...”
It is a gorgeous mid-western city especially in fall. But beware ...looks are deceiving. Like a gorgeous woman with every STD known to man, Madison under the surface is as rotten as they come politically and socially.
Madison is a beautiful city but it’s the home of state government and the biggest state university. Think about what that means in terms of politics and it’s easy to see why things are the way they are. Once conservative people get a belly full, many move out and commute.
