If you go online to Trader Joes website you can suggest a new location. So, everyone go online right now and tell them we want a franchise. Oh I can just taste pineapple salsa right now!!!!! Oh, and the blue corn chips with a glass of 2 buck chuck, which is $3 now i think......

I barely saw people walking and I didn't see people through windows of the buildings as I slowly cruised around. What's a good intersection to walk down/around to get a good taste of Fort Wayne?

Don't say check out, "west central," cause I can't seem to find what people are talking about when they rave about it.
O fakie,so sad but true. Did you see all the people on the Trolley Art tour last night? We don't really have hot spots downtown, just moments of hotness with some hot people popping up here and there. I wish you all the luck in finding our hot spot. When you find it will you let us know?

if you honestly think there are not restaurants, nice restaurants even, in the whole of Fort Wayne, you are sadly mistaken. If Fort Wayne has one thing going for them, it is the diversity of the citizens of the city, and the many different restaurants they open.

Key word of thread title "many"

...but that is a subjective term, which is pointless to start an argument/debate over

no, I really do not think that is subjective, as their are restaurants everywhere, especially along the north downtown area and going west.

Examples are Trader Joe's McAlister's Deli, Five Guys Burgers and Fries, Macaroni Grill, White Castle, and IMAX movie theaters. Does anyone know why Fort Wayne does not have any of these things?
Go to this instead, please.

Move to Indy, hands down. The fastest growing cities in Indiana are all suburbs of Indy. The economy here isn't great (is it anywhere right now?) but at least its stable. Plus, Indy is 3 times the size of Ft. Wayne, 8 times the size if you include the 'burbs.

Indy has food, culture, entertainment, sports, and places to live in nearly any setting you'd desire that isn't limited by geography (meaning we don't have oceanside beach houses...sorry). Fort Wayne is a rust belt disaster...

Well, for one thing Ft. Wayne is/was heavily invested in automotive manufacturing, which as we all know didn't turn out so well. Also, Ft. Wayne has fewer people (by percentage, not person for person) with bachelor's degrees and even fewer with advanced degrees. Also, Ft. Wayne has been rated among the rudest and fattest cities in America.

Conversely, Indianapolis has been rated among the best cities for jobs and best cities for new grads, and Fishers and Noblesville, Indy 'burbs, have been rated among the best places to live in America.

Basically, Indy FTW

By whom? That is a bold statement to make if you can't back it up.
