I love living in Indiana. It seemed boring when I was young but when you get older and more mature you appreciate the small town vibe and the lack of drama other places have.
My wife and I were born and raised in rural Indiana. We left in the 1970's and ended up living in 9 states and 2 foreign countries. Today we live in a small rural town in Southwest Missouri -- I was kind of like going home to Indiana. I am now a Indiana Fever fan - Go Catlin Clark!
Great video! I've lived in Indiana for most of my life - I was born here in the '70s, moved away, came back in 1989, went to college here, got married here, etc, etc.. I have lived in Walkerton, Mishawaka, near Culver, Elkhart, Marion, Indianapolis, New Whiteland, and Zionsville. I have worked in South Bend, North Liberty, Carmel and Fishers in addition to the places where I have lived. But I have been up and down this State so many times. This state has a natural land divide that starts just South of Kokomo where everything North of that is purely part of the 'rust belt' Northern part of the State that identifies more with Chicago, and then everything South of that is more hilly and gets into more of the Southern part of the State that identifies more with Indianapolis, Terre Haute, Cincinnati and Louisville. Indiana has both flat stretches of land with corn fields and Caves in Marengo with several lakes spread throughout the State with a lot of forests. The Wabash River is a major river that flows throughout the State, even forming part of our Western border with Illinois. The Ohio River is our natural border with Kentucky. Indiana borders Lake Michigan and the State of Michigan itself in the North, and our long Eastern border is shared with Ohio.
We have a few sports teams. People who live in the northern part of the State all of the way down to Kokomo could identify more as fans of the Chicago teams - the Bears, the Cubs, the White Sox, the Bulls and the Blackhawks. But people in the Southern region of the State tend to identify with the Indianapolis Colts, the Pacers, the Boilermakers of Purdue, the Indiana University Hoosiers and the Indianapolis 500 Motor Speedway. Basketball is the major past-time of this State.
Very rarely does this State ever vote Democrat in a Presidential Election. It's mostly always Republican through and through, but you do get more of the Democratic vote in the more urban areas, being Gary, Hammond, Indianapolis, Elkhart, South Bend and Fort Wayne. Pete Buttigieg was Mayor of South Bend before he ran for President.
Indiana is home to a few Nationally known major colleges and universities. In the North there is the University of Notre Dame and Holy Cross in South Bend. In the Western part of the State are Purdue University and Indiana State University at Terre Haute. Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana is a nationally known University in the East Central region. In the Southern part of the State is Indiana University at Bloomington, and there are IU satellite universities spread throughout the State. Near our Southern border with Kentucky is the town of Evansville with the University of Southern Indiana, just right across the Ohio River from Louisville, Kentucky and the University of Louisville.
This State has one of the best bargains as far as cost of living of any State in the United States, being West enough that we don't have a higher cost of living (yet) due to population density like Ohio and Pennsylvania, but East enough that we are still part of the old rust belt manufacturing area of the Midwest before you get to the true Plains States like Illinois, Iowa and Missouri. Indiana is North enough that we get 'lake effect snow' in regions closer to Lake Michigan, and a warmer climate in the Southern region where snow becomes more and more sparse the more South you go, until you get to Kentucky where it hardly ever snows.
Indiana has the 3rd largest Amish population behind Ohio and Pennsylvania, the 4th or 5th largest Masonic membership in the United States, and it has the most Landmarks of any State. I tend to think of Indiana as a Northern State with a little bit of everything that you would consider to be associated with a Northern, Great Lakes State like Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, but just not a huge amount of it - you just get a taste of the Midwest with Indiana, and we have just about as much of it as we want. We are surrounded by States with higher populations and more land than ours, but our rate of growth is relatively high in comparison. Indiana is truly the 'Crossroads of America' as it has historically been a meeting place and a place of coming and goings. Time has borne that out as well as Indiana's central location is home to a conjunction of four major Interstate Highways: Interstate 65, Interstate 69, Interstate 70 and Interstate 74.
Living in Hawaii for the last 30 years myself but originally from Lafayette and grew up there. Hawaii is supposedly the “Aloha state” which is friendly and full good people but Hoosiers are “ salt of the earth people”, generally honest and willing to help out their neighbors. Hoosiers show more Aloha than locals here in Hawaii. I lived in northern and southern Indiana, there is no difference in the people, just north is flat and south has rolling hills. Thanks for reminding of my home state. Back home again, in Indiana!
I am adding "Ditch Fishing" to my vocabulary! Great video. Come visit 219 in Indiana... it's a little different.
I am from what was originally a small farm town in northwest Indiana. But now it is so urbanized! A lot of people are leaving Illinois, coming to this area causing over crowding. I worked all across the state of Indiana for over 45 years. My favorite is southern part of the state. It is very beautiful and the people are more friendly.
I moved to nwi in 2014 and since then the area has blown up. Just moved away this year.
Yo I live in Indiana with literally the picture perfect country life. Everyone knows everyone and cornfield everywhere. And stadium lights on Friday nights 💛🖤🏈
I lived in a town that had only locally owned stores. There was one blinker light. The police force was one marshall and his one deputy. Everyone literally knew everyone.
There are subdivisions that are bigger than this town.
Good video, thanks for sharing, keep up the good work.
I was raised in a small town in NE Indiana. I'm a 69 year old, USMC & US Army Veteran 1974-89. I have been to every State, 2 US territories, 1 US District & 14 Foreign Countries.
I bought a home here in NE Indiana, for my retirement.
Bloomington born and raised,Love my home state.Southern Indiana is absolutely beautiful ❤️❤️❤️
Same but live in Spencer/Ellettsville area now
I think Indiana is what you make of it and what stage of life that you are in. If you are an individual that is looking for exciting times and things to do, Indiana may not be the best place for you to live. For me, I’m in my late forties. I own my own home. I live in Southern Indiana. I have acreage. The property taxes are cheap compared to other areas. There is very little government regulations where I live due to the fact that I live under County jurisdiction rather than a town or a city. I have horses and chickens. The slow life is just more appeasing to me.
I totally agree!!
Great video, just what I am looking for. The small town vibe really came across. Thank you very much :) looking forward to your next video.
I went to high school in Middlebury 30 years ago. This really brought back memories, especially the back roads. The fresh Middlebury air!
Hello Abby. Just came across your chanel. I really love the country side. I have many friends from Indiana. I'm from Haiti.. love your videos
I lived in Indiana and loved the state.
I could move to Indiana...I wanna experience all four seasons, i grew up in southern California and I want to leave and find something different
In indiana you don’t really experience fall like I live in Indiana but fall feels like it lasts for like 3 days
I suggest going to northern Indiana
See I'm the inverse. I grew up in Northwest Indiana and want to move to SoCal or NorCal.
Don’t. Made a mistake moving to south bend. Try a nice suburb of chicago, Cincinnati or Indianapolis if u must.
In Indiana u can experience all four seasons in a weeks time it could be 80 degrees one day and be freezing in the next day or two
Great job! I've been to so many other places now, and I love to travel. I love coming home just as much. John Mellencamp summed up Indiana's appeal for me: "I can be myself here in this small town, and people let me be just what I wanna be." I've never expected others to get it, as when I was growing up Indiana was the original fly-over AND drive-through-no-stops state. No apologies, no excuses. I just love it here.
new to your channel but omg i love your content remember me when your youtube famous!!
great video! much love from kosciusko county
OMG THANK UU FOR THE SHOUTOUT I LOVE YOU SO MUCHHHHHHHH🥺❤️❤️
you’re very welcome, thank you for being so kind! 💛
Totally awesome video !
I live in the UK , these videos are so fascinating, such a different way of life
I come from a small town in SE Shelby County, Indiana. Pop: 300 (?) High school: 190 pupils in 7-12. I went on to IU with 12 of my classmates, 5 of us became Fraternity bros. I did 30+ yrs in the Army, toured all over the world but I always came home. Married a gal from our class. We have a monthly luncheon with about 20-30 alumni with wives & spouses. These are my roots. This is my family...
Hi I’m from India you are doing amazing informative video good to see you
FIRST I LOVE YOU
I live in a very small town in indiana near nashville and i love it. Very secluded and our downtown is all locally owned small businesses
I miss the Indiana of the pre-Walmart era and pre-Blockbuster Video era. When businesses were mom and pops you had great service. Every town was known for something different. When information passed by word-of-mouth and it was exciting to travel to places and you could experience the culture and not feel like you're being hurded through a money trap. Alas, those days are foregone and we must now live in a technological, profit-motivated, emotionless existence.
Hello Abby, I am in a little farm town that is the nicest life and people.LOts of bicycle riders and walkers. Surrounded by corn fields too. We also have Amish. : ) I only have to drive 15 miles to shop in the bigger city. Obviously,your town is larger than mine. Heh. Peace & Love.
I’m watching this cause I’m moving to a small town soon and I’m trying to get a guess of what it’s gonna be like
Suckin' on a chili dog outside the Tastee Freez...
I'm from glamorous Angola Indiana myself (wangola/bangola was spray painted on the water tower for many years)
Moving here from the military and Japan via Tenn 24yrs ago was diff, having grew up in Dallas. The people are a bit more standoffish, but cool once friends.Tbh that describes me before being a Hoosier though so.. It's home now, and I love it. This tree's roots don't move again.
Lol Not Me saying Oh that looks like My town.......just to realize IT IS also my Town😂 I grew up in!! Get it girl!
I moved to a small town for my kids. Moved to a bigger small town after they graduated school. I miss the smaller town so much. Small towns just have each others backs amd helps each other. LOTS OF SCHOOL SPIRIT! I miss that. Anderson kinda sucks lol. I grew up here but def not the town it used to be. But it was worth moving back to be close to my kids and grandkids.
Baha I live in indiana in a place called a corner. No longer a town the post office and general store is a house. Most exciting thing to see is a herd of 20 deer
I moved here 30 years ago from Commiefornia and it was the best decision I made for my family. But it’s getting crowded here too many people coming here from other states might have to move again.
I wanted to ask is Indiana pretty crowded or is it peaceful and outside the big cities Preston empty?
I m from Indiana.. love your vlogs
Who made that introduction beat 🔥🔥🔥
No place is perfect but I love my state. I love Indiana.
I live in Indiana. I love living in Indiana. I’m form by the Ohio river what part of Indiana are u form?? My favorite part of Indiana in the brickyard 400 and the Indianapolis 500 and that we are the Motorsport capital of the world.
Great video!
Keep it up ! Great video
carlos retolaza thank you! ☺️
I live in Evansville Indiana
People who lives in Fishers/Carmel/Zionsville/Westfield What are you thinking about these cities?
How far is the mall or bigger shopping areas and like Starbucks? :)
The closest to me is about 45 minutes!
I live in walkerton all my life , back yard football, bowling, yard darts, tennis, and ride ur bicycle up hill 4 miles to get to the grocery store 😂😂😂😂 not to mention drinking water from a garden hose
i live in indiana. and its not like this in the cities at all, its like any other city, and had like every store
i know that this is about a small town in indiana
Abby! great video! if you wish to make it more interesting... more editing... show me where "Progress" (Indiana) is... screen shot... voice over...
rush hour traffic in Indiana IS def behind a tractor:) (I live less than 100 miles from you)
basketball hoops... yup:)
I live in Indiana
I also live in a small town in Indiana called Mooresville
How many years u live in?
im indiana born and raised
Lovely video
Have you been to the Indy 500 and is it fun?
i personally have not but i know people who have and said it was the best experience! 💕
It's all good deep in the Terre 'hood [Haute]
I stay in crown point Indiana... not as bad as one may think...
Me too! Great area, but lots of new construction. Thinking of moving more south, past Lowell in a few years.
I graduated from crown point high school in 2022. I recently moved to Florida and even being here I miss Indiana and Crown Point!
I live in Crawford county indiana
This video explains why you guys come to Southern California to vacation and move. The pop of my country is more than the pop to your whole state..lol
True statement
In order to live in a small town like the one you show in this video, you have to be white, Christian and Republican?
Not white but preferably conservative or you won't fit in. Liberals belong in Bloomington or Indy.
This is northwest Indiana. Northwest is pretty split 50/50 democrats and republican
NWI resident right here...😊
Nice
What do you do for fun in yout city?
When i was in high school we would hang out in the gas station 😂 or sit in a fast food restaurant. There’s basically only food and convenient stores. anything else, like the movies, we have to drive a few towns over :)
Cow tipping is fun.
hey that's my crib, my home state
I live in South Bend.
I’m so sorry,
Same here. But mall, restaurants are 10 mins away. Not 30 mins 🙄. But I know what u mean. Better places to be
I want to move to a small town I don’t no where
If Indiana, check out Marshal County up north here with Plymouth and Bremen and not far from Nature Preserves.Oh Plymouth has the last of Drive In Theaters that has 4 screens and digital pic ..and sound on your car FM radio. Look up in Search Tri Way Drive In. Enjoy! Plymouth has the Blueberry Festival every Fall. You aren't far from bigger cities South Bend (Notre Dame) and Mishawaka with the St. Josph Riverwalk and Park.I lived in Mishawaka 14 years and glad to just visit now. Peace.
That was definitely filmed in Northern Indiana.
🙌🏼🙌🏼
Have you been in seymour
i don’t believe so!
What part of Indiana is this?
Northwest!
@@abbygraceyt I live in Whiting, IN!
im in new albany lol theres alot of stuff here
So it's not like living in stranger things? :((
no i wish 😩
I'd have to live in a city , country life is to slow movein
I feel that!
Go live at Gary Indiana.
I mean, she’s not wrong.
Are people in Indiana pretty friendly?
I think so! It depends on where you’re at mostly. The north is very different from the south haha
You can tell the people that are born here there very friendly,Other outsiders are the unfriendly ones.
North is crass, uncultured sort of people. South is more friendly. In my experience. Has to do with the kind of jobs here. Farm, warehouse, distribution and some industry. Everything else is support for that
Monticello in fun to hrow up in
You look a little like Kristi Noem.I hope
You don't kill dogs.
HOOSIER values, the best in the world!!!!!!!!!
I respectfully disagree with everything in this and the first video. Yes there are a lot of small towns, and you do get passed a lot by other people on roads, but you just get used to it. I think that the scenery is nice. Looking out and seeing miles of gods creation.
Oh brother there's nothing nice about Indiana stop lying.
Born in Indiana, moved back after retiring from the military and left...nuff said.
Corn fed
Well, I still don't know the name of your town. It is definitely bigger than my home town of Farmersburg, Indiana. I went to ISU, that is Indiana State Uni. not Illinois State Uni. We've lived in Decatur, IL for 52 yrs, so by transposition we are now "suckers" as you are a Hoosier.
Good luck with your channel. This video was a little "choppy". Practice on your editing. Look at some videos from "Dirt Perfect" (Derby, IN) or Captain Kleeman, also of Derby.
Beautiful eyes.
Welcome to hell it's the most dullest and boring state you'll live in I know I lived there once.
I hate living in Indiana honestly
Bring on the great Indiana cannabis! Way overdue!
I live in Indiana
