Won't You Be My Friend?

Madison may have its problems these days, but putting on a happy face isn't one of them. On an NBC Today Show report Wednesday morning Madison will be named one of the five friendliest cities in the nation. I'm not really sure how they measure that, but it beats a poke in the eye.

Perhaps they went around and asked people if they'd give you two tens for a five. Now that's friendly. The report was compiled by Barbara Corcoran for NBC.

I do think we are a pretty friendly city. People still say "hi" on the street to strangers along with a nod and a smile. It took me a while to get used to that when we first moved to this part of the word from the Boston area all those years ago.

It will be interesting to find out why they bestowed this honor on Madison. Tune in to the Today Show Wednesday morning to find out.
