Indiana is a good place to live. I was born and raised here I love it. But I also live in a small town!❤

[@DiscoveringCentralIndiana]

That’s cool. Small town living can be great. What’s your favorite part of small town living?

[@dennisgrant538]

Lived there from 65 to 75. Great place to live then. Crime keeps going up though

[@kevinsievert4531]

Clearly, being young, you may not have lived in a variety of places. We (Indianapolis) are in good shape compared to other like sized cities, especially from the traffic perspective. A helpful hint, should you hope to get more than 1 comment a day; stick to the positives. Leave it to the drug companies to explain the downside/side effects of their product (diarrhea, nausea, a stroke, etc.), but your objective, I would guess, is to sell your product and your product is central Indiana. Another thought, like wondering why Indianapolis may have higher crime, the phrase "your guess is as good as mine" can be remedied by a little research. Your intuition was right, btw, as the Crossroads of America, we are the Interstate laden gateway to many cities. If the cargo is illegal and others want it, chances are, it's passing through this city...and we know what that produces...more crime.

Thanks for watching and for your feedback!

[@ladesigner8764]

I am
older have lived in LA, Chicago, NY and SF. Indy has zero culture, cannot attract any decent musical acts (rarely), has zero food scene and diversity. There’s a decent college town to the south, honestly the only place worth visiting. My opinion.

[@kevinsievert4531]

@@ladesigner8764 Then I'll chalk this up to early onset cynicism and perpetual naivety. Begs the question, why no longer in the larger cities? You are in Indianapolis by choice, correct?

[@HamburgerHelperDeath]

​@@ladesigner8764 Yea we don't really like Democrats like you.

[@ethancook5705]

I would take Indianapolis over Chicago. Have lived in both cities for the last 48 years of my life.

[@DiscoveringCentralIndiana]

Thanks for watching. I agree, Indianapolis is a great place to live!

[@peeloffrecords8496]

Two terrible choices lol

[@ethancook5705]

I have lived there for the past 48 years. I am looking to move to Cartagena, Colombia.

[@american_byways]

@@ethancook5705 But how reliable are the bus schedules in Cartagena?

[@ethancook5705]

I just used Uber and taxis last time I was there. Ace has a couple videos on public transportation down there.
