The capital of Indiana and second largest state capital. It may be America’s 12th largest single city (but it’ s metro area ranks 28th) and growing for some reason, but this city is Lousy with a capital-L. There is no diversity. No culture. No nightlife. No job growth. No high paying or high-tech jobs for that matter and most are in manufacturing. No greenspace. No scenery. No mountains. No lakes or even rivers. No seashore. No sizeable suburbs even though its largest, Carmel, has about 80,00 estimated however. Too many foreclosures. No reliable public transportation system. No lightrail system and NEVER will be. No sidewalks. And not even a descent skyline: it hasn’t changed since its tallest building, the Chase Tower was completed in 1990. The city is afraid of thinking big and only builds “skyscrapers” of only 20 stories or so that it considers tall for some reason. What a joke. Even smaller Nashville, TN will soon have a skyline that will be considerably larger. Indy recently ranked as America’s worst city for singles according to Forbes magazine. The city’s inefficient bus system called IndyGo uses buses that pollute pollute pollute. Not one city or school bus uses a hybrid or electric engine. And Indy’s people drive drive drive everywhere. Nobody takes public transportation because it hardly exists. For this reason Indianapolis is a major contributor to air pollution.
I can see why this place is called NapTown. It should be called ComatoseTown. Even cities half its size are more lively. I can see why it has the cheapest housing of any “large” metro area because nobody in America, except Indiana residents want to move there. Don’t move here unless you are at least in your thirties and have a family. If your single, stay away or go to Chicago. And to think, this city considers itself “world class.“ What a joke. If you are on I-65 going toward Chicago, keep driving because there is nothing here. It is lousy lousy lousy. And did I mention lousy?

Indianapolis is only a good city if you don't desire any architecture, nightlife, a high paying job, culture or diversity. It sucks for being a "large" city. It could be more considered a large town. Forget being world-class because it will NEVER happen.

Get the Indianapolismug. A high-rated TV Judge that likes to berate and talk down to her "litigants" in her courtroom with her annoying New York accent. She says things like "Do I have stupid written across my forehead?" She calls people idiot, moron, dumb and dumber, and "genious" (being sarcastic) among others.
Judge Judy, wheather you love her or hate her, is the highest rated Judge on tv and has been on the air longer than any of them.

Get the Judge Judymug. Where you live when you dont want to live in the inner city. It's a place of mostly middle-class homes, Walmart, soccer moms, SUVs, strip malls and the homes of corporate bigwigs. Suburbs in the United States began to spring up during the post WWII years as families left the central cities for a quieter, safer and more relaxed lifestyle. However some suburbs are just as poor as the inner-city itself. According to the US census, the number of persons living in the suburbs now outnumbers those in the central cities.

Get the Beach Boysmug. The absolute worst airline in the world to fly known for bad customer service. They treat their passengers like crap and overcharge for lowsy service. You have to pay for just making a reservation itself, for a soda, pillows, blankets, to check in your bag and almost to even use the toilet. When asked by an employee to help you, they role their eyes and speak in a condescending manner. When your trip is over they stick a broomstick up your ass and tell you to beat it.

Get the lustmug. The period of technological innovation in the world that began in England in the 1800s and spread to America during the Reconstruction Era immediately after the Civil War. One major effect was the genesis of middle class America as people took jobs in emerging industries and new industrial plants. Before the industrial revolution there were only two social classes in the United States: wealthy (many were slave owners) and poor agrarian families. The wealthy at that time were hardly wealthy by today’s standards.
It’s believed that the invention of the printing press sparked the revolution, leading to the creation of the steam engine, followed by industrial plants and technological innovation. The industrial revolution then sparked the emergence of big business and capitalism as people found employment opportunities in new industries and industrial plants, attracting people to urban areas. The textile industry, mining, the pharmaceutical industry and healthcare, the insurance industry, power plants, retail industries and the steel industry are just a few industries that emerged during the industrial revolution. Thanks to the emergence of the steel industry, the world’s first “skyscraper” emerged in Chicago in the 1880s. Then came the invention of the car by Elwood Hayes of Kokomo, Indiana; and the airplane by the Wright Brothers of Ohio; and then television and radio; and then the rocket by Robert Goddard and the space age; the birth of the microchip and the computer; mass communications, and then Big Brother and the internet--all of these were effects of the industrial revolution that greatly changed our society and lead to the current “second industrial revolution.” In less than a century mankind went from being a strictly agrarian, slave-owning society to landing on the moon.
Key events during the Revolution:
The invention of the lightbulb and phonograph by Thomas Edison, the invention of the telgraph by Samuel F.B. Morse, the invention of pills and elixirs by Colonel Eli Lilly (Eli Lilly and Co. pharmaceuticals), the invention of the telephone by Alexander Graham Bell, the beginning of the retail industry with Sears-Roebuck, the unification of America's railroad in Promontory Point, Utah, Andrew Carnegie and the Steel Industry, John Rockefeller and the oil industry, etc.

From the Garden of Eden to the mid 1800s, the world changed very little. But with the Industrial Revolution, mankind went from being a agrarian society to one that can talk to someone on the other side of the world—or the moon--in mere seconds.
