I moved to Portage when I was 13 and lived there till 18. Family is still there so I visit now and again. It’s a pretty normal town all things considered.

I put not worth visiting – cause although living there isn’t bad – unless you have family to visit or want to move there – it’s not that exciting for a vacation or anything. It’s just a normal town. Around 10,000 people. Few small parks, movie theatre, bowling alley, some food places, stuff like that.

Don’t know if it’s still there – but there used to be a really cool candy store there. There’s also a neat popcorn stand. The old one was better – but the one there now is pretty cool.

If you do go – Canal Days is pretty fun. Of course the county fair is pretty cool too. For the most part its just a small midwest town. Low crime – also low excitement.

The school is pretty neat though – 1996/1997 was the first year it was open – it’s practically brand new – so it has a lot of the new technologies.

Living in Portage completely changed my life. It’s a great town to raise a “normal” family in. Plus it’s right next door to the Wisconsin Dells – which is just too fun!! And only 1/2 hour from Madison. So although Portage isn’t that exciting – it’s really close to a lot of cool stuff.
