I grew up in Baraboo and currently live there. It is a beautiful town with over 12,000 people. Baraboo has lots of interesting shops and restaurants, massage therapy centers, yoga studios and gyms, and a Muscle Activation Techniques studio, which is my favorite! Spirit Lake Trading Company is a rock crystal shop. I go there to get my crystals! The Village Booksmith is a secondhand bookstore downtown and I love shopping there! Tin Roof Dairy, one of the downtown ice cream shops, has a dairy-free option on their menu. Baraboo has a few downtown antique stores. St. Vincent's de Paul, and Family Values Thrift and Variety, and Recycled Sally's are great places to thrift shop. Oschner's Park in Baraboo is a great place to run. Running along the river is a beautiful experience. Baraboo also has a State park with a lake called Devil's Lake. The park has hiking trails and is also a great place to run. Baraboo is a great place to live for active people and people who love small town life.
Baraboo is a lovely small town with a lot of charms. It is the place I have called home since I was born. All of my life experiences, decisions, and the formation of my personality was based in this city. One thing I regret not having access to is some of the resources that someone who is a resident of a larger city may have access to. I cannot guarantee my life would be the same if I lived elsewhere, simply due to the different distributions of resources. While I love this town with all of my heart, I am left wondering if the experiences I went through are going to be what I really needed to make a successful life for myself.
Small town with cute downtown stores. Beautiful old homes and newer subdivisions. Nice neighbors. I would only reduce the number of leftwing yard signs - takes away from the beauty. Also, if we could reduce the number of sex offenders living in the downtown area.
