Never been to Madison but Ann Arbor is a much, much, much better looking city than Lansing. Lansing is a pretty ugly city and is evidence to me that the neglect of Michigan cities has always been a statewide issue, not just a Detroit (or Flint, or Saginaw, or Muskegon, or Pontiac, or...) problem. Ann Arbor and maybe Grand Rapids are basically the exceptions to the rule in Michigan.
