I have some friends who live there and their only lament is the cold (one is from Peoria, the other is from Austin).

It is but I like the cold. There's a lot of fun outdoors winter stuff to do around there too.

I like drinking outdoors, which seems to be a very common activity there. I was there in February last year and it was the one weekend it was like 50 degrees out so we went to a brewery with a whole outdoor section and watched people try to walk across the ice and not fall into the pond they had. Great fun.

I've only spent a half day in Madison so far, but I dug it and have heard great things otherwise. It's been on the shortlist of potential moving destinations that we've had for years (Des Moines, Minneapolis, Iowa City), but we probably don't actually want to leave Chicago.

Yeah, if I was going to throw a state list together, Madison and Milwaukee would be enough to get Wisconsin in the top 5. Screw the rest of the state though.

They have a castle dedicated to it as you enter the state. Something is rotten in the state of Wisconsin.

Great fun. Yes there's an outdoor event next month at Capital Brewery in which everyone drinks on the patio and dances to a polka band and then someone dressed as a Viking rides a giant fiberglass Brontosaurus across the roof of the brewery and throws smoked fish into the crowd. It's pretty great.

ive only been to milwaukee a couple times but it seems like it would be a cool place to live given that i assume it's cheaper and there was like no traffic. and so many neighborhoods look like happy days and laverne & shirley! oh man, kopps custard, mader's german restaurant, and there was an usinger's sausage place across the street. and stadium sauced brats at miller park. mmm...

I hadn't been to Minneapolis since college but adored it when I was there last fall. Would definitely make the list if I ever had to leave town.

Can someone explain the table situation to me because it feels like it’s a really funny inside joke but I’m not sure I get it

I was pretty sure that was it. I just wasn’t sure if there were shenanigans that involved people from the board throwing other people from the board through tables.
