I've lived in a white flight suburb of South Bend for about 15 years now. It's a good state. Not the best, but good. Great outdoors in the southern part of the state, not so much up north. Great universities. Relatively wholesome culture outside of Scary Gary.

That being said, it's a relatively vanilla state, I probably would not have just picked it to move to if not for work. Indy isn't world class, but it's a very nice city. Meriville area is a very nice little area too. Bloomington is a nice college town. South Bend is a grade 'A' shithole that surrounds a very beautiful Notre Dame campus.

You would've been living in the area when two Notre Dame students were shot in a drive by outside of a bar about eleven years ago. I was in that bar when that happened. Also got robbed at gunpoint on the deck at our house by seven teenagers. Also got all our shite stolen over Christmas break. Also had two dealers squatting in the house next to us for the first half of the year.

Granted, everything from downtown north has gotten way better than it used to be. Everything from about three blocks of campus south all the way to downtown was a complete shithole a decade ago.
