Uhhhh...yeah. We have a little more than Olive Garden in Madison. In fact, we have more restaurants per capital than any other city in the midwest (including Chicago and Minneapolis) and, according to a 2006 survey, the most restaurants per capita of any city in the U.S. Some of those "awful" places are helmed by James Beard award-winning (or nominated chefs).
There are plenty of cultural offerings here, too. I know - I acted in two of them this season.
But, hey - if you like overpriced digs and nanny state-ism, who am I to deny you?
We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |

That's pretty much the response I expected from you.
More restaurants per capita in the midwest does not include the world-class dining in New York.
Community theater is not Broadway or even off-Broadway.
Having to drive everywhere and live in "new construction" house that is devoid of any character is not a brownstone.
So yeah, I'm good with NYC, but thanks for playing! The check. The string he dropped. The Mona Lisa. The musical notes taken out of a hat. The glass. The toy shotgun painting. The things he found. Therefore, everything seen–every object, that is, plus the process of looking at it–is a Duchamp. | |

And you corner the market on snobbery. Don't forget that part! We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |

I guess you ran out of "facts" to respond with, so you resorted to personal insults. Classy, but then again, when I think Madison, WI I do think class.
I'm sure you'll have what you think will be a bitingly sarcastic retort; but just so you know, I'm bored with this convo and won't be responding.

Just found this article about a 3 cubit meter micro house and thought that with imagination a person could live in a small space if they wanted to. I love it, check out the pictures. http://inhabitat.com/3-me...on-design/
I love this apartment even more, it was linked to that article... http://inhabitat.com/incr...ms-into-1/

I think I'd prefer to sleep on the floor with a blanket if I lived in such a small place.
I've had an apartment that was twice the size of hers and I could have a double bed, several keyboard instruments, a TV and a bookshelf there. Wasn't that bad as far as the limited amount of space goes, but the place got messy very easily due to that. I moved out of it when the owner died and the new owner raised the rent to 500€. It was 315€ when I first moved in there in 2004. A dump by all accounts, I admit. There was a beach in the next block though.
