Steve-O, I'll have to agree with you; Madison is a nice town (Only one in America with an isthmus, isn't it? ) I'd give Annapolis, MD a slight edge because I lived there as a kid.
I'd imagine Augusta, Maine must be pretty nice as well. Harrisburg, PA leaves a lot to be desired, but, then again, if a place that hit rock bottom in the 1990s as hard as Scranton did can start to make a comeback now, then I'm sure Harrisburg can as well. I've also been craving a visit to Annapolis, MD.

Scranton W-B, I've seen Harrisbug from I-81 and I-83 and that'll probably do me! Yes, you should go down to see Annapolis! Watch where you park; popular local bumper sticker: "TAKE HOME AN ANNAPOLIS MEMORY: GET A PARKING TICKET" But Annapolis is a very walkable city with a fairly compact downtown area. The U.S. Naval Academy has a lot to see, as well.
By the way, we have friends here in Ohio that I served with in the USAF and the wife is from Forty Fort! I went home with them one time years ago and really liked what I saw. Nice renovation after the flood!

ATLANTA, GA... No other capital city in the US can match what they pulled off in 1996. Rich history, diverse cultures, southern hospitality ( it's there hidden somewhere ).
Traffic and urban sprawl is the downfall, though.
Its funny but the whole time I was in Atlanta, it didnt feel very southern to me.
I was happy to get back home to Richmond.
