Tell me about the Indianapolis area!

[cignus_pfaccari]

So, my employer has indicated that they are soliciting volunteers to move to a new office in the Indy area.

The only things I know about Indianapolis are:

* - Home of the Indy 500 and Colts
* - Home of GenCon Indy
* - It's full of Hoosiers
* - Cost of living is well below where I live now

I would take a slight pay cut, but it's promised that it's far, far cheaper to live there, and I have noticed that I'd pay half of what I do now for my efficiency for (say) a 2BR, but I'd need a car, which would likely cut a serious dent in my freed-up income.

So, ENworlders, tell me, what else about Indy is worth my potentially moving there?

The people are awesome. Moving back to Southern Illinois from Baltimore would be very similar to your move, however, you'll be near a modern city with all the convenieces. Pace of life is a little more laid back and other than that, you'll just have to experience it. You'll be in "hick" country compared to what you're used to and in the buckle of the Bible belt, not sure if that will affect you, but you should know; but since that's an individual thing, I can't really say how you'll adjust, however you can walk the streets at night in MOST neighborhoods, try THAT in DC. Good luck
