Under-Rated Places

Madison, Wisconsin

If you like lakes, a college town (U. of Wisconsin), and a vital mid-size city that is extremely bike-friendly, you might be attracted to the happening city of Madison, WI. It boasts a 30-mile web of paved bike trails that are lit, snowplowed, and used year-round. This liberal city is eco-friendly with walkable streets and great bus service.

College and Outdoor Town: Bozeman, MT

Your editor was just in Bozeman last week, and we came away very impressed. There is a busy and vital downtown with packed restaurants at 9PM. Plus an amazing outdoor experience available in the outdoors right outside town. The Community Food Co-op (pictured) is what every supermarket should be.
