Chicago is obviously my answer. Madison is fine and I would live there (although routinely overrated by Atlas - few of whom have been there), but it is no Chicago.

Madison, obviously. It's the Lexington of Wisconson.

College towns are hellish nightmares. Big cities are where it's at.

I don't understand why you are asking this. It's a close vote.

Chicago is a beacon of big city life for all those who live in the Upper Midwest and want a taste of it, while still remaining within relative shouting distance of family and friends they grew up with it. So it serves a good purpose. Madison I won't comment on since I've never been there, but it helps keep Wisconsin blue so that's good. And it looks nice.

I don't see how you can compare the two. They are two awesome, but very different cities.

Right - so the question is which you like better. That's not saying that there's one you don't like.

Madison is a great place to live: beautiful scenery, low stress, low traffic, great for outdoorsy stuff, and full of laid back Wisconsinites. Chicago, while okay for a big city has its problems. Even driving through Chicago is like asking for an aneurysm. Madison's politicians might have a horrible ideology but at least most of them aren't crooks. Also Madison is way better for crime.

Ditto.  Chicago is probably my favorite city, with San Jose, San Diego, SF, and Denver behind.  Especially the Magnificent Mile.

It takes like three hours to drive from one side of the city to another, you should expect to be randomly cut off like six times, and no one bothers with traffic laws whatsoever. Whatever it is, it certainly isn't an enjoyable experience.

Also, the tolls are excessive.

Spoken like a true Wisconsin driver.

Last fall, while driving up to Door County, I drove up on a Wisconsinite going 55 mph on a 65 mph highway in the passing lane (that's the left one, 'Sconnies!) with his brights on, LOL. Tongue
