Reason #23

Madison is a great place to visit. It's friendly (it's in the Midwest, hello!) it's surrounded by five lakes. It's a college town and the student union terrace is right on Lake Mendota. The capital building is really quite impressive, and it has a nice urbanish downtown with a pedestrian shopping/coffee shop/bars street (State St.).

I've heard there are some cool bars with nightlife (Glockenspiel etc) and cultural arts, whether you're looking for grungy music (High Noon Saloon) or more rarefied fare (Overture Center for the Arts). See reason #24 for why I don't know this first hand.

Middleton may have been voted 4th Best Place to Live but it only gets on the list because it's next to Madison. (Oh, I'm gonna get in trouble for that!)
