What are some small/medium sized metros that are around 600,000 and under that actually offer good nightlight for young professionals???

Madison WI, Des Moines IA, Augusta GA, Durham-Chapel Hill NC(actually considered to be a separate metro from Raleigh) and maybe Chattanooga TN.

Many bigger/major college towns would probably work too.

Nacogdoches and it's area is awfully small (under 100,000), what about an urban area so small makes the nightlife so attractive to young professionals???

Where does Huntsville, Alabama stack up in this topic??? I went there a few years for college earlier in the 2000s and it seemed OK, but I was just 18, 19, etc. and didnt really keep up with spots for 21 and up "young professionals."

With as educated of a population as it has, and healthy growth rate, I'd imagine it would have some sort of suitable night life for young professionals.

Green Bay, Wisconsin looks to have a fair amount of bars, but I don't think it looks too professional or young.

The following are cities with the least family-households so some might fit.

Then there's this for arts, casinos, and such.
