We live in the heart of a mid-size city on an isthmus. We are surrounded by water. It’s a 2 minute walk from our home to the largest lake that sits north of us. It’s a 5 minute walk to the lake that sits south of us. We can walk from our home and be fishing, boating or ice skating in just minutes.
Our city leads a very active, outdoor lifestyle. We have 75 miles of bike paths. There are more bicycles than cars here. It’s also one of the greenest cities in the states. More than 15,000 acres of lakes, 200 miles of hiking and biking trails, and 260 parks with a combined total of 6,000 acres of parkland that add to the environmentally conscious approach here.
We are a 5 minute walk to 3 major music venues in the city. There are others that are just 1–2 miles away. We can walk to see our favorite musicians when they are in town.
We’re also within a mile of museums, dozens of restaurants of all shapes and sizes and just about any type of cuisine you can think of, breweries, comedy clubs and the state capitol building.
We have an endless supply of Wisconsin beer and cheese within walking distance of our home.
We’re 2 miles from the UW-Madison campus. The city also has amazing schools that are all LGBT supportive.
We have an excellent medical community here.
I could continue gushing about how amazing this city is but I think you get the hint.
@Dutchess_lll Those are sprayers. I also had the same thought when we lived in rural Illinois. Do I go under or around? ;)
