Beloved Isthmus of Madison puts all other cities to shame - #statewars Cities!

in #statewars7 years ago (edited)

Day 2 of the #statewars is heating up, more and more people are participating now, and the fun is just getting started. I would like to do my part to encourage any of you to jump in, even if you live outside the United States, or even if you just want to do a 'State of Mind', one of my favorite entries yesterday was from Ogrimmar

Here is the announcement post for Day 2, we are happy to have participated yesterday with our Wisconsin article, although we were a little late and so appeared in the next days post, but now I'll try to get this one out earlier!

An Isthmus is a narrow, connecting strip of land between to large bodies of water

Monona and Medota are the two big lovely lakes
betwixt which our sweet isthmus does appear to take its shape
Upon the highway overpass breathtaking views are always found,
and the weekly farmer's market rings the capital around.

Colorado thinks its cool because of legalized marijuana,
Those in Madison will say, 'We got 3 decades on ya'.
First they lowered possesion to a simple misdemeanor,
Then they dropped all local fines and never felt cleaner.

The cozy liberal college town of Madison will not be found
on lists of largest cities, most influencial or the like,
of self important coastal riff-raff known to start a fight.
The coasts may hold monopolies over what's considered right,
So Us'ens in the center will make do with truth and light.

Lots of love to all, #steemusa, and all countries, jump on in, make something up, I haven't been to Madison for years but, as always, the internet, and especially wikipedia, is full of great pictures to spark my memories. Just remember to cite your image sources, and in this competition its important to embellish just enough

Steem on Friends! Let the peaceful #statewars continue!

Sort:  

Yes, Madison still rules, even if walker is trying to turn the rest of the state into a corporate owned shithole, peace.

I apologize ecoinstant. In order to try and get the post out on time, I had to write it around 3 or 4 PM CST as when I went home I knew I was going to be eating, bathing my two year old, and put him to bed.

No posts were left out the post was just simply written before they were posted (or they forgot to use the statewars tag). Hope this clears up confusion. Today's may be a little last as I have a lot of posts to include!

Madison looks a beautiful place to visit and I'll have to remember it when considering places to go on vacation. It's amazing what happens when you decriminalize drugs isn't it? Thanks for sharing those beautiful photos and unless I just have a brain fart both your posts will be included on todays @steemusa post.

Updated! Thank you for the explanation, bathing your son is a great activity and I'm glad you were there to do it :)

I thought maybe I needed to sign up to be a member or something, I appreciate you letting me participate!

Nope if you want to sign up and be a part of steemusa that would be awesome, but not required to just participate in the fun and community building activity that is statewars :D. It's free to anyone on Steemit to participate and not just those in the US.

Great post hahaha! Good luck!

You make me want to visit There
