City population between 50,000 and 150,000.
Can not be a suburb like Carmel, IN or a exurb like Elgin, IL.
Some examples:
Fargo, ND; Rapid City, SD; Tyler, TX; Santa Fe, NM.
I'm guessing the OP doesn't want cities that are part of a larger metro area over 150K. Naples MSA is more than double that and the CSA is nearly one million.
If that's the case, since I have very little experience with this I have to go with hearsay and suggest Ithaca, NY and Sheboygan, WI. I have heard positive things along with LaCrosse as the OP states.
Maybe also Bloomington, IN and Auburn, AL though once again I have no personal experience.
Best isolated town I've been to is probably Key West, but that may be too small for this thread.
I would like to see then pinned up against Bellevue, Washington!
Ashville walks all over Bellevue. Which doesn't matter anyway seeing as its part of the Seattle MSA which disqualifies it per the OPs parameters.
