Because I am an awful nerd, I always try to check out the local game shop whenever I'm out of town. On a recent trip to Madison, my friends graciously escorted me to the hilariously named I'm Board, a bit out of town proper but conveniently located near the university and the Willy Street Co-Op, and I was impressed! Very good selection of board games, up-to-date and not overpriced, with a solid range of choices in almost every category. A good play area with a huge library, and an attentive staff. It was a bit light on RPGs, but otherwise this one was a real winner -- I hope I can head back someday. Lucky Madison!
