To be honest - Right here in Wisconsin.
I haven't lived outside of Wisconsin since I was 4. Most of the time it's been in Northcentral Wisconsin.
It doesn't have much of a nightlife - in the city sense of the word. But on the warm summer nights... when I walk down to the corner of my street, I can watch deer just across the road grazing in the field, some nights I can look out my patio window and watch the northern lights, The city lights (what city lights) don't fade out the stars, the back yard is CRAWLING with froggies that the kids love to catch and then let go before they come in for a thorough bath. The grasshoppers, cicadas, peepers making their night time music. The bats wizzing overhead, the owls or hawks hunting at night.
Then during the daytime - the bald eagles floating over the river nearby. I saw a fawn last spring at the edge of my back yard. I saw two fawns only 3 weeks ago on my way home when I was only about 6 blocks away. There was a Moose downtown years ago. A baby bear cub stuck in a tree on the courthouse lawn.
It's a place you can get close to nature without getting eaten by the mosquitos all the time. What better place to live.
Sure it's cold in the winter time - Aren't snowdays GREAT?
