Are we only talking about major cities in the midwest? I could name tons of smaller cities that are very hilly, making some of San Fran's roads look easy to ascend. lol
Chicago is flat as a board. Parts of Chicagoland have small, rolling hills, especially in the Fox Valley area (about 40 miles West of Chicago). If you go even further west towards the Rock River in IL, the hills get even bigger. Head to Galena or down south in IL, and the hills get larger still.
Indianapolis is not "level in terrain", ajf. It is very flat in areas, but not overwhelmingly so like Chicago or Detroit. In fact, some areas have some pretty tall hills (Crown Hill, Mann Hill) and there is like a 250-foot difference in elevation across the city.
Thanks Colts...the only parts of Indianapolis that I have been to were downtown and virtually along the Interstate 70 corridor...my memory of the last time I was there is fuzzy, so please cut me some slack if I get things wrong about it. From what I remember most of Indy along I-70 was fairly flat, but I could be mistaken...the last time I was there was when I drove through it without stopping along Interstate 70 back in November 2006. So again, over two years ago...
Can you go into more detail please? I've never been to Milwaukee and haven't the slightest idea of what it's landscape is like. Like what parts are hilly, how big are the hills, are they rolling, etc...thanks. --ajf
