I recently travelled to Madison, Wisconsin for a work conference. It's the state capitol dontcha know.
The meetings and events were held at
Monona Terrace, on the shores of Lake Monona,
Of the shining Big-Sea-Water, Stood Nokomis, the old woman...
Sorry, I drifted off into the
Song of Hiawatha, by Longfellow. It's early and I'm tired.

Monona Terrace was designed and revised by Frank Lloyd Wright between 1938 and his death in 1959. However it was not actually built until the early 1990s, and only Wright's original exterior design was kept.
To me, the capitol area of Madison felt like a miniature cross between Austin, TX and San Francisco.
