    I am not knocking Madison, but I would think real estate would be a little cheaper in Ashland, located on Chequamegon Bay (short trip to Apostle Islands) in Lake Superior. I am pretty sure there would be diving buddies based in Ashland and nearby Bayfield. Compared to Madison, you'd have darker night skies and you'd hear wolves more often.

    Choosing a place to live based on its prevailing political sentiments is like ordering a meal based on the chef’s favorite movie.

    Plus it's easier to travel back to Chicago to visit friends.

    Correct. Only 2 hours or so.

    I am sure Tradd is aware its nickname is Madistan.

    But that said, I like university towns.

    I know nothing about Portland except what I see in the news, but I don’t expect Chicago to change for the better in my lifetime. The chef there has liked the same movie for a long time.

    But the feds left Portland, the demonstrators should be happy. These are liberal city’s, and have been for quite some time. Why haven’t all the ills of society been taken care of?

    i did not watch the link. But I’m assuming it’s all Trumps fault somehow.

    Ashland is beautiful but not many single people want to live in such a small town. Plus it makes the weather in Madison look like Florida)
