I would encourage you to actually visit the area and see for yourself what this area is and is not like. I personally find it has loads more to offer than the boring and sterile Indy suburbs but that's just me.

I don't find either to be particularly interesting. There are interesting (from a natural standpoint) parts of the state. The Dunes certainly look interesting. Southern Indiana is the most familiar to me coming from a hilly region of Tennessee.

Why would you make negative comments about an area you've never been to?

Drone video?

That's the Indians Dunes area. It's part of a network of beaches, trails, camp sites and endless mountains of sand along the Southern tip of Lake Michigan.

A nice series of videos about the Dunes here > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=85uL...169F6DB84BF137

Default pretty

I thought the video and the picture are both pretty but I wonder where the video was made.

I could finally sleep during the summer nights without waking to the constant throttling motors of semis who were stuck in traffic. Yes I was awaken many nights and the air conditioner just couldn't cut that sound. And of course every summer they did some kind of work on the Borman.

You must admit that the Borman is much better now that it has been widened

Oh ok maybe they could employ some poor college kids to paint murals on those ugly brown walls
