This city is the
hometown of the famous
architecht Frank Lloyd Wright and all the members of
Garbage except
Shirley Manson. There are rumors that
Orson Welles also lived in this city for a short period of time. Madison is a heaven for
culinary enthusiasts and
keggers as well as people who prefer a medium sized city but cannot compromise
art and
culture.
The city is extremely beautiful during fall, which only lasts for one or two weeks. Then you meet the coldest winter that one could ever see. At this time, it is really fun to watch Lake Mendota freeze while sipping your coffee in the Wisconsin Union Terrace and rubbing your hands together.
Madison is also notorious for its Halloween parade that enables you to see a lot of naked guys and gals.
