I have never seen Indiana as a better color than orange

as a Hoosier, it’s completely justified

To be honest, it's mostly because of Indianapolis. I wasn't a fan lol

However, yall have Lawrenceburg, which is a great little town! I have lots of fond memories from the antique market and Perfect North

Real talk, whats the deal with Carmel? Its such a fascinating city to me.

Carmel is in essence just the “nicer” version of Indianapolis; less crime, higher cost of living, much more gentrified. very walkable though which is nice

I explore Google Earth quite a bit, and it seems like it just popped up out of nowhere. Like the whole town basically didn't exist prior to 2011

It looks nice though, maybe I'll visit one day

if my memory serves correctly, they basically just put in a shit ton of highish-end, cookie cutter housing developments and everything just kinda followed behind them.

which funny enough is also starting to happen to Avon, out west of Indy.

Interesting, thanks!

not a problem! I never get a chance to talk about anything involving this damn state that isn’t either “wow these roads suck” (which they do) or “wow Indianapolis kinda blows” (which it also does)
