lol have to be flexible in this economy to work. Thats just how it is the unemployed i have noticed don't want to try another field.
Humans are built to adapt just like every other piece of life out there.
However as my article below pointed out 1100 new jobs coming to Indy ranging in pay from 30k-150k a year.

I think the only thing Anderson and Muncie have going for them would be really good deals on houses. Rather inexpensive, but that's because it's all about location. Both towns are just far enough out of Indy's reach that you feel isolated, and likely bored. Anderson and Muncie are both becoming increasingly desolate (as people have mentioned already) so I wouldn't suggest it.

I have spent ample amounts of time in both cities, and my family comes from Anderson. If it weren't for them, I'd never have a reason to go back.

well keep in mind Indianapolis is expanding and soon its suburbs will reach the Anderson area.
Already some housing developments in Madison County.

Let's not get crazy here. There's still a lot of empty space between Noblesville/Fishers and Anderson. And housing construction has come to a virtual halt.

Not Racist against blacks or Mexicans unless they are causing trouble.
Lets just be honest with ourselves those 2 races have to many people that just sit around and cause crime.
I know plenty of good Blacks/Mexicans but its that larger group that causes trouble that paints a bad picture over all of them.
Just like whites were not perfect NOBODY is perfect.
In Indiana though were majority white but since were the fastest growing state in the northeast quarter of the US were adding more diversity to chip away from that majority.
In Contrast Flordia is only gaining 75% of its population from 2 races.
Not going to be racist here but as history has shown Blacks and Mexicans don't get along well *A Good Majority of the time* Although don't take what i am saying and paint it like i am racist.
As i said each race has its good and bad people.
I personally have black/mexican friends and they are the good type remember that
Ones that get up work and support their family.

You could just as well say that you don't like people who cause trouble. There are plenty of white losers, too.

Exactly.
I don't hate *everyone* of any race but the one race i am not fond of is the Chinese. Mostly due to their idea of undervaluing their currency and taking our jobs in America. However thats just in the country of China i actually have some Chinese Friends here in America and i have to say when they talk about life here VS China its quite Dramatic

The upper and lower Westside and Lower East side of Anderson are terrible. Many of the Westside neighborhoods are crime infested and drug infested which has caused major violence in the city in the past 5yrs. I am from Anderson and have lived there almost all my life. Just a month ago my 19yr old cousin was shot in the head and killed on the downtown Westside of Anderson. The young man who killed him grew up in the same neighborhood as me, right down the street from my mothers house on the upper Westside of the city off Nichol Ave. The Downtown area has totally collapsed and looks terrible so if I were any of you guys I would stay away from the Downtown area.
