Money's list of America's best small towns: #99 Oregon, WI

Posted on August 17, 2011

Top 100 rank: 99
Population: 9,200
Compare Oregon to Top 10 Best Places
At the time Oregon was founded, this town seven miles from state capital Madison had more horses than people (and it still hosts an annual horse parade). But now nearly 10,000 people call this affordable community home, many drawn by the solid schools. Like lots of towns in Wisconsin, Oregon is not very racially diverse, but there is some religious diversity: the Deer Park Buddhist Center and Monastery is located here. It’s headed by a Tibetan professor who taught at the nearby University of Wisconsin-Madison for three decades.

The Wisconsin Band with Nat McIntosh - Brooklyn [video]

Posted on June 17, 2011

Check out the mad sousaphone skills by one of my friends from high school in Oregon, WI, Nat McIntosh performing with the Wisconsin Marching Band... what this guy can do with a tuba is CRAZY INSANE!

I remember watching him learn to do cycle breathing and holding a note for 3 minutes. What's up?!

Not the kind of hometown news I like to find out about....
