Indiana - what’s living there like?

I’ve never spent any time there. Curious what living there is like and if it’s generally viewed as a good place.
Sort of seems like a crossroads between the Midwest northeast and Upper southeast. The country side sure seems nice. Doesn’t seem like it’s all flat farmland. There looks to be hills and forests too. Nothing too dense but definitely not plains like Kansas.

Northwest Indiana is basically a Chicago suburb

Always viewed ND as more of a Chicago team than an Indiana team.

Indianapolis is a cool fun city (anyone who says otherwise has either never been or is just miserable)
There is some good fishing out there also.
As long as it aint Gary you should be ok.

I hear Gary is beautiful this time of year.

Worst racism I’ve ever encountered was in Richmond. And it was essentially everyone. They didn’t understand how I could live in Louisiana. But this was a time ago

Southern Indiana is very similar to southern/SE Ohio/Eastern KY topography wise.

I’ve been working in Mishawaka 5 miles from Notre Dame since early December.
People there are fine but their winters absolutely suck.

I had to live in southern/southwestern Indiana for 3 years on recruiting duty for the Army (I was voluntold). I had no experience with it prior to that.
People are nice. Food is bland. Fishing in that area was subpar--the Ohio River and Patoka Lake were it.
Lots of corn. Lots of meth in rural Indiana where I was. It's a pretty good place to raise a family.
BUT--still the best fried chicken I've ever had was at the Chicken Place in Ireland, Indiana. Good chicken and ice cold beer. What a good meal.

Yep. It is a little weird because the rural areas in the north had country boys, but they are kinda rude like the northeast.

I lived there briefly.
It's a shithole. At least Louisiana is a shithole with identifiable characteristics. Indiana is a shite hole with nothing other than big semi trucks coming in from every which way, and a lot of really bad roads.
It doesn't get talked about enough. The roads there are worse than the roads in Louisiana. I mean, I almost couldn't believe it. I think the city of Indianapolis ran out of money at one point paying claims for popped tires.
The countryside is nothing but crops and Amish. The laws are odd. It's a really fricking horrible place.
I lived in Richmond, Indiana as well as Indianapolis. Richmond was by far the strangest, most upside down place I've ever lived. There were these drive through places called Milk Houses, where people would drive through and get chips and soda. The people were enormous and, I hate to be like this but I have accepted it, fricking horrendously ugly. Like, I couldn't believe how unattractive people in this town were.

Southern Indiana varies from rolling to very hilly. Brown County State Park has been nicknamed, “the little Smokies.” Really pretty in the fall. Lots of small towns surrounded by vast farmland.
In some areas, southern Indiana is, more or less, Kentucky North.
Central has the bigger towns and cities, becomes more flat, although not entirely.
People are pretty nice, fairly conservative overall, outside Indy, Bloomington and NW Indiana.
I like the remoteness of some parts, but I’ve always thought there was some beauty in the rolling plains, prairies and farmlands of the Midwest. Tons of covered bridges as well, if by chance you’re into photography.

I remember the first time being in Indiana and looking forward to trying a pork tenderloin sandwich. Boy, was I disappointed. While this one is purposely hyperbolic their meat to bread ratio is quite odd.
Now I just stay downtown and it at Tony's or St Elmo where I am not disappointed.
