I would rate NW Indiana and Indy higher than the rest of the state.
I would rate the whole state of IN a 6 out of 10 (10 being highest). |

It's cheap to live here, as my teenage son says, because there are not many good jobs here.
And it's flatter than a pancake, which doesn't really bother me. I think anywhere there are good paying jobs makes it worth living. But the mean women and the lack of jobs is more than one can tolerate. One poster on another thread said there aren't many single men in Indiana. Maybe the mean women ran them out. |

haha. Yeah it's hilarious how much difference there is in terms of an accent between Northern Indiana and Southern Indiana.
But not everyone here in Indiana is a complete arrogant waste of space. I'm a single dude in Indiana, but I'm young enough that I don't want to live here my entire life. I may move back who knows when, but right now, I just want to live anywhere but here. I'm no longer a winter person. So I'll probably move south. There are actually many jobs here. The problem though. They are pretty much limited to manufacturing from what I've noticed. Other than that, there really isn't much going on here. I'm probably the last person who would defend a place where they've grown up, but unfortunately, somethings I see people say, I have actually never noticed. And I've been all around in this state. I have noticed however, how shallow the gals my age here are. Which is why I'm still single... And which is *cough* why I'm moving *cough*. Yeah... Anyways, as miserable as I am here, the Fort Wayne area is a much better place to live than many other places I have been. |

Ronzou, you sound like a man with his head on straight. The whole world awaits you. Take it and ride with it. I wish you the best.
As for me, I know where I want to go but I gotta take my baby steps to get there. And when I'm there, I'm never looking back and I'm never coming back. That's what keeps me going, even through the dead of winter and the rainy depressing gloomy days. |

Ronzou- You say you might head south, I don't really know what your in to, but I found the southern mentality even worse than ours here in Northern Indiana. You want warm? Good paying jobs? Have you looked in to Arizona, New Mexico and Southern California? It cost more to live in those states but it's almost always warm and the jobs pay more, not to mention the woman are waaaaaay I repeat waaaaaaaaaaay nicer out west. The girls are more liberated and outgoing I noticed, not so uptight and tense like here. I'm very happily married, but I did notice the girls there are much friendlier and outspoken. Just a thought. |

Come on guys, don't paint all Hoosier women with such a negative broad brush. Makes this outspoken and friendly gal feel like a oddball

There are few exceptions Domergirl. I agree with Jakehorror though, the women here are nasty. I am happily married also though. Seems I snagged an exception. Jake, I'm headed West young man. Tasted it back in 2000 and it's where I want to be. No humidity, more sun, more adventure, more opportunities. I want my family in that type of atmosphere. Utah, Idaho, Montana, Colorado, Wyoming, Arizona. Not sure where I'll end up but I know which direction I want to go.

Valpo is a good 30 miles east and 10 miles south of Chicago.....and IMO, is not a suburb compared to the other cities you listed. I'd be interested, however, to see number on how many Valpo residents work in Chicago. That's a LONG trip everyday either driving to and from Chicago, or driving to Chesterton or Ogden Dunes, catching the train to Chicago, then reserving course to go home. BTW, I'm from Gary, love Gary (other than the high car insurance) despite it's issues. Can be at U.S. Cellular in 25 minutes (Go Sox), Solider Field in 35 (Go Bears), and the Unted Center in 45 (Go Bulls, win a game this season, please?). Can be in downtown in 35 minutes. All of course, is traffic dependent, and on if you are smart and know backroads (12 and 20 to US 41 puts you on Lake Shore Drive in 25 mins or less and avoids the Skyway and 80/94). I think the region is a gem, but I agree, an outsider will HATE IT for the most part, until you find a few people who are about something to hang out with. Other than that, Indianapolis, Bloomington and West Lafayette/Lafayette are the only other places worth living in in Indiana (though the landscape of Lafayette is changing with all the displaced Chicago public housing folks moving there). |
