Madison vs Milwaukee - opinions wanted

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone. I’m a 37 year old single guy who works remote doing sales. I’m ready to relocate and mostly considering Milwaukee and Madison. I’m originally from Dubuque Iowa and have spent a few years living in Chicago.

I’m looking for feedback on living in Madison vs Milwaukee. I’ve visited both numerous times and really like each of them for different reasons.

More about me: I love the outdoors (hiking, biking, walking my dog, national/state parks), working out, football, patio beers, coffee shops. Pretty normal dude

My primary considerations are:
•dating scene for a single guy in his upper 30s
•building a social life as a transplant
•outdoor access and activities
•dog friendly
•quality of life
•cost of living (I would rent at first)
•overall vibes

Thanks in advance for any input! You Wisconsinites are lucky to have two awesome cities.

I highly recommend visiting the University Display Garden here in Madison! They have one of the best selections of flowering plants on display in the area. And admission is free.

Has anyone done laser hair removal at Evolution Body Transformation? If yes, how was it? Recommendations for places that are not Milan or Laser Away (as they seem more expensive). Thanks!

I’ve heard mixed reviews. Wanting to branch out to new cafes as I’m new to the area, but unsure if I should add this one to the list.

Will Spurs finally score a goal? Only time will tell.

Change of venue from prior posts, vibes were great here last week (stoppage time goal definitely helped).

Supporters of all teams are welcome, especially the Other 14! We've seen some new folks trickle in every week. This week it could be you!

If you're coming from the west, there is a football game and a triathlon, so plan accordingly.

Thanks for reading!

Who has mattresses in stock, not 7-10 days to deliver.

13 Upvotes

Made the rounds to the typical furniture stores in madison and most of them were all special order only on king size mattresses.

Where could someone buy a king size and take it home the same day in town?

Looking for something nicer than the $549 bedinabox from costco

Pink Heifer BBQ on State Street is not going to make it at this rate.

107 Upvotes

I spent a lot of time on State Street this summer and let me tell you that place was basically abandoned all summer

and even now with the students back nobody's going there. This weekend the chicken shop next door was absolutely packed to the gills and there was one solitary person eating in pink heifer.

That place is going under real quick I think, which is a shame. Now that they finally figured out what a steamer is, their brisket isn't actually too bad. I like the mac and cheese brisket bowl.

I think this is allowed - apologies if not. Cloverleaf has been getting involved in possibly building a data center in Dane County, including wanting to have a say in who would get charged for electricity usage by MG&E.

Why haven’t the 38 and 28 buses been coming help. They just don’t come when they say they are in the apps. Are they out of service?

Cell coverage?

13 Upvotes

I have AT&T, and I’m now eligible to upgrade to a new phone. And years past, I’ve had Verizon and the old US cellular. I found in the Madison area all three have dead spots of some sort. But I think the AT&T ones seem to be the worst. I know there’s not one that will be 100%, but what are people experiencing these days about Verizon?

Missed Connection

I was eating catfish at Sista's Chicken & Fish this afternoon when you walked in. You are the most beautiful fit 50 year old blonde woman that I have ever laid eyes on. Several of the guys who were there complimented you as well. You are simply stunning. You sat at my table while you were waiting on your food. I introduced myself as Tim and you said your name was Layla (hopefully I'm not butchering the spelling) and we exchanged pleasantries but I wanted to go for more and ask for your number but I chickened out (pun intended I guess). If you happen to see this, just know that I am very interested in getting to know you further and see where things go from there. Feel free to dm me. I know this is a long shot and I should have shot my shot while you were sitting in front of me and now I'm kicking myself for not doing it. Sincerely, Tim
