Madison named one of Nat Geo Traveler's best small cities

[Goober McTuber]

MADISON, Wis. - Madcity was recognized in National Geographic Traveler as an environmentally friendly authentic small city, according to a news release.

The magazine included Madison in a list Tuesday of 29 "Cities on the Rise" from its February/March 2019 issue.

George Stone, National Geographic Traveler editor-in-chief, said the cities chosen for the list were drawn from statistics and social media mentions.

"Happy places for locals are also rewarding places for travelers," Stone said in the news release. "Our index of small cities on the rise is based on unconventional metrics that we think produce happiness: green spaces, coffee shops, breweries, music venues, Instagrammable moments and puppies!”

Madison was named "greenest," citing the capital city's many parks, trails and bike-friendly culture. The brief on Madcity referenced the University of Wisconsin Arboretum and Madison BCycle.

Traveler’s 29 best small cities in the U.S. are categorized by 10 key superlatives that influence both residents and visitors alike, the release said. The 10 categories the index factored in are:
•Most Hipster Friendly (coffee shops, tattoo parlors, record shops, vintage stores)
•Musically Grooviest (music venues, live music, instrument stores)
•Most Instagrammed (hashtags)
•Most Artsy (art galleries, art supply stores, art schools)
•Best Groomed (barber shops, hair salons, hair removal services, cosmetic dentists)
•Meatiest (butchers, delis, steakhouses)
•Most Dog Friendly (pet sitting, pet stores, pet groomers, dog friendly restaurants)
•Sudsiest (breweries)
•Most Caffeinated (coffee shops)
•Greenest (parks)

Also named on the list are Albuquerque, New Mexico (sudsiest), Anchorage, Alaska (trending-most caffeinated), Ann Arbor, Michigan (greenest), Annapolis, Maryland (trending-dog friendly), Asheville, North Carolina (most artsy, sudsiest), Baton Rouge, Louisiana (best groomed), Boulder, Colorado (hipster friendly, musically grooviest, most caffeinated, sudsiest), Charleston, South Carolina (most Instagrammed, most artsy), Columbia, South Carolina (best groomed, meatiest), Greenville, South Carolina (meatiest), Hagerstown, Maryland (best groomed), Healdsburg, California (trending-greenest), Hickory, North Carolina (hipster friendly), Honolulu (musically grooviest, most Instagrammed, most artsy), Kansas City, Missouri (trending-most artsy), Lakeland, Florida (most dog friendly), Louisville, Kentucky (trending-meatiest), New Orleans (trending-hipster friendly), Newport, Rhode Island (trending-best groomed), Olympia, Washington (most caffeinated, greenest), Omaha, Nebraska (trending-musically grooviest), Pensacola, Florida (most dog friendly), Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (trending-sudsiest), Portland, Maine (most Instagrammed), Rapid City, South Dakota (trending-most Instagrammed), Reno, Nevada (meatiest, most dog friendly), Santa Cruz, California (musically grooviest) and Spokane, Washington (hipster friendly, most caffeinated).

And they also like Reno, Pitt and Baton Rouge.

[Dinsdale]

No shit. Any list that has criteria that ranks Reno as anything other than a complete shithole has some serious flaws in the methodology.

[Mikey]

Nobody cares.

[Goober McTuber]

Nobody cares.

About Reno? Agreed.

[Goober McTuber]

I'm just curious. What in the fuck is pleasant about 36, partly sunny & 15 mph winds?

It tends to keep fat retarded hillbillies away.

First of all, it does not appear that English is your primary language. Secondly, if you're going to run your weak smack about Madison being third behind two other Wisconsin cities, you ought to at least spell them correctly. Moron.

Madtown is a cool little place, especially during fall Saturdays.

Goober McTuber posts a ridiculous article in hopes of proving to other men that he isn't a total loser.

He instead gets cornholed.

Nobody saw that coming.

Goober and his school chums kicking back and rockin' some old-school console gaming...

"Scotch Hoppers?" I think Goobs is more of a bourbon guy.

I just love posting the articles about Madison being a great place to live for this reason or that. It always agitates the tards.

You see 0 people coming from the South to live where you are.

Isn't that what I said, tubby?

Just be sure you don't drink against the grain of the liquor.

The stupidity and desperation of the thread is surpassed only by his asinine excuse for the thread.

Goober MsTuber is a classic bitch.

[Dinsdale]

Looking back through the last couple of pages of the archives (earliest dates), Goobs used to lay fools out.

I guess we've all mellowed with age.

BTW -- those last couple of pages have some hilarious shit. Mike Backer used to rule this place with his occasional posts.

If you've spent any time at all on these boards, you know that I always post these "Madison is great because...." stories. With similar results from the usual suspects. Go fuck yourself newby.

Sorry, but I think you have shit for brains.
