man too much coastal elitism shitting up this thread, come on people we're pretty much all old, do you really want to go to three different parties in a night? if not, indianapolis isn't actually "boring" or lacking in culture or any of that shit. oh no indianapolis only has 500 independent locally owned restaurants instead of five million, how could anybody live in such a cultural backwater? god as much as i try to shit on indiana it does have cool and innovative art collectives like big car and good shit going on and people trying to survive and enjoy life despite being constantly strangled by megachurches and racists and people who call their wives "mother".
i'm glad i don't have to live there anymore, but shit, chain restaurants? like there's any city in america that isn't choked to the gills with chain restaurants? it's not a question of whether or not i'd live there if you paid me me to, because you get paid a lot more to live on the coasts, it's a question of it doesn't cost hardly anything to live there, just like it doesn't cost hardly anything to live in alabama or mississippi. people don't want to leave because it's the only home they've ever known, people don't want to leave because they can't afford it. and having to live with all of the horrible people, in a land owned and controlled by horrible people, twists you, it's hard work not to be like them, at least if you have the same color skin as they do.
yeah, i'm glad i could get out. i was lucky.

Largely otm but this inner conflict you're manifesting is very Hoosier imo. I know of what I speak.
At any rate, I don't by any means dis the people as a whole (many/most of my favorite people in the world still reside there) but the dis-worthy people are most of the reason I'm glad to not be there anymore.
