Tell me about Indiana

[edprush]

I love everything I've ever heard (Mellencamp) or seen ("Breaking Away") about Indiana.

Is it as awesome as I imagine?

Gary, Indiana is a beautiful city

 

[AbsolutDealage]

Ummm... no. Lest everyone forget, Gary Indiana is the armpit of America.

Edit: Bah, beat me to it...

i currently work in the western suburbs of indianapolis and i grew up and attended college in the northwest part of the state.(purdue) Basically, you have 6-8 cities that have something in them and the rest of it is farm ground and hicks with belt buckles the size of your head. Lafayette, Evansville, Bloomington, Terre Haute, Anderson, Fort Wayne, South Bend, and Indianapolis are the only places with more than 10,000 people. Therefore, there is nothing really to do here without going to those cities.

also, mellencamp concert is in lafayette on friday night, but he is really trashy still
the music isnt bad, but he grew up in seymour, which is crappy from what i have heard/seen and he fits in with that style.

OVERALL, indiana is a good place and very safe and secure. relatively cheap to live here compared to the coasts and so forth, but there is a number of elderly people that you have to deal with. if you are going to live here....pick indianapolis or in the far NW corner by chicago is my advice.

haha, like top 5 worst crime rate in the US? something like that

i also forgot to mention that the county to the north/northwest of indianapolis is one of the top 3 wealthiest counties in USA i think. They might have dropped in the past year or two, but it used to be that high. Reggie Miller had a driveway like 1/4 mile long with amythest in it for god's sake

The time I visited Indianapolis I was very impressed with the city.

Well you're from Iowa, so scenary-wise everything is better, except maybe Nebraska and parts of the Dakotas.

I live about 20 miles east of Indianapolis.

One thing I'll tell you, the weather sucks.

 

[woowoo]

Southern indiana is the only part of the state not full of corn....

Spent 6 years living in Lafayette. Yes, it's cheap, but as always, you get what you pay for.

I see you are confusing cool with trashy.

 

[DougK62]

I grew up in Indiana and still live here. I like Indiana.

 

[chuckywang]

Kelvin Sampson just got hired as Indiana's new head coach.

 

[alimoalem]

it's all about cali AT. idk what you guys are thinking but that's where all the good stuff gets down

 

[CKent]

Based on most ATers from there, I'd say there's something in the water which significantly lowers its residents' IQ.

 

[Azndude51]

I was raised in Lafayette, I've been here 16 years and counting. The first chance I get, I'm getting the hell away from this state (I got screwed into going to college here too). I hate about Indiana, but I don't feel like talking about it.. If you're the type that likes small towns, farms and corn, you'll like it here.

You forgot "Rudy". The only place I have been to in Indiana is Bloomington which was nice enough. I guess like every other state it has its good and bad spots.

hehe, good thing I am not from here

Indiana, let me put this lightly, is the most boring, corn field infested state ever.
