Not much resemblance to EKY. We have deep gorges, high ridges and knobs that pretty much make up the entirety of the Cumberland Plateau.
In Indiana, the only thing that remotely compares is Clifty Falls and some of the farmland I’ve been on in southern Indiana, along the river.

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.
What a mooey excellentay post. Have a Saturday evening upvote.

Lived there for a time in my teens and our family frickin hated it. Hicks everywhere and no southern hospitality got old quick. Came right back down south
It's the dullest place I have ever been.

It varies greatly depending on where in that state you mean. Northwest is terrible. Crime and snow are major issues. Housing is expensive. Racial tensions near Gary are about like being in the worst of NOLA.
There are pretty places like The college town of Lafayette.
Evansville had a pretty good reputation. south Bend was a rough town crime and weather wise.
We were there for the bare minimum time to do a job and ran at the first opportunity which was 2 years. I could not be dragged back there.

After graduating from college, my best friend moved from there to Arizona. She tolerates scorpions more than she does the cold.

No shite. I've lived in Granger for about 10 years now. I wouldn't be surprised if we haven't crossed paths.

Not a bad area, the mall there's always packed. Northeastern Indiana is surprisingly chill.

That's pretty fair. Everyone in my family went to IU, and there is a pocket of family in the NE of the state. I have zero experience with Indianapolis other than driving through it a few times, everything else was rural, and no bigger than Bloomington.
The good thing about the roads is that you don't need a map to figure out how to drive from the Southern half to the Northern half of the state, because they're numbered (300N, 12115W, etc.)
Lotsa white trash. My ex wife was shocked at how methed out and trashy everyone was when I stopped at a gas station to get a case of water. Oh, at least in the NE section of the state, the water is very, very, soft, and stinks of sulphur. In corn/soybean country, you'll have a wind break from trees every few miles, otherwise it's eye watering how hard the cold wind blows. Humid as hell during the summer. Southern Indiana is supposedly where the KKK was started. Way more racist than anyplace I've been in LA, AL, etc. I can't repeat common terms my grandparents used or I'd be facing a ban.
Bloomington is full of Marxists. Food sucks beyond belief. Everyone is Mississippi levels of fat. If you've been to Northern KY/Southern Ohio, you'll get the vibe of most of Indiana.

I noticed you didn't say downhill skiing.
Indiana is fine. Largely safe, conservative, with a few nice towns (and Indy has a lot to offer), but without many of the more fun winter activities that states like MI, WI, and MN offer.

Indiana has a downhill ski resort baw.
I’m not in the business of telling whoppers. If I say it’s fixin’ to rain, you had better get yourself an umbrella.

If a person had to live in the Midwest the very least they should do is avoid living in the Mississippi/New Mexico/Idaho of the Midwest. Thats what Indiana is...the poorest shittiest state in the region.

Their biggest natural lake (non great lakes) is essentially a big puddle in the middle of a corn field but is surrounded by impressively large houses owned by wealthy city folks from surrounding metro areas. They do have a pretty big reservoir down by bloomington if you like hanging with the liberals.
Its a rural agriculture state, flat as a board and far from the coast. Plenty of hunting but probably incredibly boring for most that have spent their life in LA or other coastal states.
