Columbus ( http://www.columbus.in.us/) is a great city, so is Greensburg ( http://www.downtowngreensburg.com) and nearby Batesville. Southeastern Indiana is set for some growth, but I don't believe any of these places will be sacrificing their small town feel. You'll just be getting the amenities (if needed) of a larger city with the same close, safe community, downtown-square, local diner, holiday parades, know-your-neighbor experience you get in small towns. Good ones are few and far between anymore, and SE Indiana's lucky to have retained a number of them, and even planning to enhance then at that. |

Do not even consider Logansport Indiana; this town has worn dirty underwear for 50 years. If logansport were a drug----it would be a downer.

Jasper is pretty nice for a small town. I always looked forward to going there for baseball. For whatever reason, they love their baseball there and it was a neat experience. Scott Rolen is from Jasper and I think he has helped out with a lot of their facilities. I have never been to Germany but I have been told Jasper is a lot like Germany.

We currently live in Greenwood IN and would like to stay on the IN side rather than KY. IN has great schools for our kids. |
Madison to Louisville takes an hour. |

Hi, I grew up in Brownstown and it definitely has that small town feel. It has a town square around the courthouse, a small family diner, barbershop, etc... It is located between Seymour and Salem.
