Indiana is a state full of sweet,
humble, thoughtful, courteous and intelligent people. It has gas stations and shopping malls just like every other state everywhere but luckily people don'
t act like they're too cool to live here and they're destined for bigger things like some kind of
dipshit character from Footloose. Yes the
KKK was here at one
time, but so was the
Levi Coffin House, known as "The Grand Central Station of the Underground Railroad" so suck it, whitey! We have the dunes, the East Race Waterway, multiple state parks and forests such as Turkey Run and Mounds State Parks, quaint rural towns, the
art and bicycling community of Lake Wynona, metropolitan areas such as Fort Wayne and Indianapolis, the
amazing architecture of Columbus, a beautiful resort in French Lick. More importantly here's what we're not: We're not some city that a bunch of people decided was
cool, left their home states for and caused overpopulation and rent hikes. We're not full of trendy assholes, so that's pretty nice for us. Leaving your town to go somewhere that other people made
cool just makes you a follower and you can't claim responsibility. While you are here, make the place you live better, that would be an actual accomplishment and a contribution to your community.
I attend and participate in events and
take vacations in my home state of Indiana because I care about
the place where I live and am not a
waste of a human being.
