Cambridge
Any thoughts? Opinions? How are the schools? Easy commute to Madison? Is it a nice lake-swimable and not algae ridden? Thanks.

They have a lake? Yeah I guess they do. I think it's just way too dead but I'm sure there is something postive about it..I just don't know what.

Cambridge is a sleepy little town if you ask me. I think the commute is pretty easy to Madison I've been to Cambridge only a handful of times and I've had all great experiences there. I like the downtown very tidy.

the grocery store, piggly wiggly closes at 8 everyday so after 8 it's pretty dead. But a very nice small town. I think you would like Fort Atkinson better.

Cambridge has a Piggly Wiggly?..oh yeah I guess they do. Yep easy commute to the Mad-city nanannie. They redid the road to the city a few years ago. Used to be many accidents on it before the improvements.

Really my only experience with Cambridge is a restaurant they had that included dining, bar, ice cream counter, and a gift store with kitchen, home, knik-knacks and stuff like flavored mustards etc.
Then it closed down so no reason to drop by. |

I'd also add Ft. Atkinson as someone else said. There is more big city amenities there, obviously.
