Topic	Anyone want to pitch their city to me to move to?
KujikawaRising 02/12/18 1:44:38 PM #40:	I can sell you on Madison in more detail... 1. Great restaurants. Anyone who has been here can vouch for how good the food is. Burgers, fish fry, pizza, all kinds of ethnic food... and almost all of it is good. The restaurant scene here is always lively and you'll definitely enjoy it. Just ignore SephyG - he hasn't even been here, so how the hell can he base it on something he 'heard" from an idiot? 2. On a budget? Woodman's is an amazing grocery store where you can get national brand items for $1-2 less than other places, so you wouldn't need to be stuck on instant noodles. The farmer's markets are excellent and have a wide selection, too... and you can use your food stamps at them. 3. Cost of living is decent. Better than any big city. Like you can get a good 1-bedroom apartment in a great area for $900 a month. Cheapest is $600 a month and that's not even in a bad area. Getting a job that pays for that isn't overly challenging. Getting a great job might be hard. Depends on what you're looking for. Fast food pay starts at $10 an hour, for example. 4. Friendly people. Seriously. You can chat with people on the street for a bit and they don't mind at all. People will let you cross from their cars at intersections that don't have traffic lights. Traffic isn't rage-inducing... usually. People are mindful compared to many other places I've been. 5. Public transit is great. Buses are sophisticated and make sense since they're run by the city government of Madison (in conjunction with Middleton for some bus routes). I have a car and yet I take the bus to and from work. Lets me hang out Downtown. 6. Weather is awesome 2/3rds of the year. Winter sucks, sure, and there are a few excessively humid days every summer where you need a shower after just going to get the mail (Dew Point is too close to the actual temp, so the humidity is VISIBLE). When the weather is nice, though, there's always something going on - the music scene, great restaurants, or college activities even. You don't need to be a student for those. Also, Geek.Kon every August. 7. You have me and MI. Two friends that can show you around and help you out. It's worth noting that Middleton is almost always in the top ten best mid-size cities to live (10,000 to 50,000 people) in Money Magazine. That's just some of it, too. I don't want to ever leave, though I whine about the weather every February... and the local groundhog predicted six more weeks... --- http://i.imgur.com/t3naEGu.jpg I'm BlueCrystalTear, probably at work. <cite>KujikawaRising posted [p:895946562] in Anyone wan...
