I have a hard time believing Fort Wayne is the dumbest city in Indiana. Us real Hoosiers know that top spot belongs to Elkhart, Indiana, a soon to be Ghost Town. Thank God!

The dumbest people are the ones that think they are smarter than everyone else.

Welcome to Ft Wayne - no, its not Chicago, but on the good side, traffic ain't quite as bad [except during Christmas season on Coliseum ], and while there isn't the big lake, there are many nice smaller lakes in the area. Good food, some interesting nightlife and sports, along w/ recreational opportunities nearby, not bad place to be. In any case, welcome to the city... and hopefully you'll find that the OP's topic here is not that accurate.

Wow ... never thought I'd hear that Newark is better than Fort Wayne ... the only thing Newark has going for it is that it has a decent airport so one can get out of there, or it's proximity to NYC.

Hahahaha - hilarious and obviously not to be taken seriously. Anyone who has been to Newark will see the above for what it is... an obvious joke.

Ft. Wayne is very, very stale, especially in the Northeast and Southwest. Not necessarily dumb, just folks who don't want to leave their homes for anything else other than to go to a big box store and buy things. I ran an all ages music venue for awhile, believe me, people weren't dumb, they just never wanted to get out of their house to do anything. I hear, and I hope from what I hear, that the downtown area actually is becoming a bustling scene because of the baseball stadium and library. Heck, I always thought that article was weird considering how many libraries are in Fort Wayne, you can't seem to go more than a few blocks without running into one.

You have just proved why Fort Wayne has been voted dumbest place. Your spelling and grammar in your post displays your lack of basic English skills. I hope the door doesn't hit you on the butt on the way out of Fort Wayne.

Maybe you will be one of the lucky ones and not find yourself the victim of a violent crime in Newark. You really ought to take a look at those numbers for Newark before you plan to move there. You may change your mind quickly.
