    I've lived in Madison for 24 years, it's great, I love Madison! I love it, but to just dwell on the few bad things about it for a moment:
    • the homeless beggars can be aggressive
    • Most mid-priced restaurants are of low quality
    • Lots of marijuana, lots, it’s everywhere
    • traffic is bad bc the lakes bottle things up
    • Housing and rents are too expensive
    • Good luck trying to find a dine-in coffee shop open after 8 p.m.

      Weed is better than crack although there's crack there too

      ​@zachlaabs5257 I agree with you.
      But the weed problem in Mad is so bad that it has a direct effect on the quality of the mid-priced restaurants in town (80% of which suck) bc many of the cooks and servers are stoned.

    So sad that Nick’s closed in 2024. They had the best fries in town. I loved that their kitchen was in the basement and that food was brought upstairs on a dumbwaiter.

    State Street is a pale imitation of its former self. What was once an eclectic mix of boutique shops, mom & pop restaurants, and local businesses has given way to national chains, as they're the only ones left who can afford the rents. So much local flavor has been pushrd off of the strip, and out of the downtown area in general.
