Yeah they’re basically the same except for having a little more drinking and a little less God.

I’d venture to guess that cities/destinations exist on a spectrum, with one end being culture/historical (eg. New York, New Orleans, Boston, etc.) and the other extreme being “outdoorsy” (Idaho, Montana, Alaska).

Out of all the cities in that region I'd put Indianapolis near the bottom...it's just not very interesting or vibrant. Would be far better off with Louisville, Cincinnati, parts of St. Louis or Cleveland, etc.

this is why some people like to live in the city.
it's a lot easier to go to tipitinas for a weeknight show or the corner bar to meet up with some friends for an hour or two when you're a ten minute walk away. even a short 20 minutes outside of town makes that much much harder.
yea but how often are the married couple with kids going to do that? i mean maybe once a week at most?

yeah, i was going to say the midwest has a much stronger drinking culture than the south.
The statistics bear that out.
Heaviest drinking states in the country. OP isn't considering Wisconsin but if ever there was a state where drinking is engrained in the DNA, Wisconsin is it (for better or worse).
2. Wisconsin
5. Illinois
6. Minnesota
7. Iowa
9. Nebraska
10. Michigan
14. Ohio

Carmel is really nice. It’s a suburb of Indy and has everything you’ll ever want.
Carmel is comparable to Franklin, TN.

Probably, but I don’t think that’s insignificant at all

I love it here. Agree with most of what’s been mentioned. Great place to raise a family. Want to be in the northern suburbs. People are great. Winters suck (but I will take the winters here as opposed to the summers I grew up with in south Arkansas). There is more to do here than what you think. The only thing I would caution you is to be prepared for a little sticker shock when it comes to real estate. Since Covid we have had an influx of people that can work from home moving to the area from Chicago, Detroit, etc because of the great schools and low cost of living. This has pushed up home prices 20 to 25% in the last two years. They are building at breakneck speed but demand still far outpaces supply. Houses in my neighborhood stay on the market for an average of 36 hours.

Property taxes are just crazy in Collin County, everything increased exponentially pre-covid with the population boom and its even worse now. Wife and I are laid back, it's just become very pretentious here that is not us
Again move to Tarrant or Denton County. Sounds like you’d love Flower Mound or Argyle

Indianapolis is extremely boring,
So boring that only 887,642 people live there. It's the 15th largest city in the United States with a metro area twice the size of New Orleans. I'm sure all 2.4 million people in Indianapolis are bored out of their minds.
The takes some of y'all have are laughable.

If you want to go somewhere to get away from Californians pick a state that gets an arse load of snow.
No data to back this up, so it may be dead wrong, but I don't see Californians old enough to make a killing selling their homes in this market moving to somewhere that has winters that can kill.

and i find NOLA, as in true nola, people to be some of the worst about this. They think and act like everything nola is the best. imo is pretty much a shite hole.
There was a thread a few weeks ago where the subject of Mardi Gras balls and the New Orleans “social scene” came up. Someone said that New Orleans natives make a huge deal out of their little club and are blissfully unaware that nobody else in the world knows or cares about it.
I’d venture to guess that sort of tribalism is generally common nowadays. Oddly enough, as our society becomes more homogenized (for better or worse), the uniqueness of these places is being worn away. Back to my New Yorker example - those jackwagons think they’re so worldly and urbane, yet many of them have never stepped their feet on real grass. They’ve got no clue how their fellow countrymen live and that ordering $120 sushi to your bedroom apartment every night is abnormal.

I went to a wedding in Indy a few years back and was surprised at how much I liked it. Downtown was clean, went to a few good breweries and restaurants, etc.
I realize visiting a place and living there are two different things, but that’s all I’ve got.

Any area recommendations, looking at the suburbs at 1 acre or more.
My niece and her hubby live in Fishers on the NE side. They like it pretty much. They are both Health Care workers FWIW.

I honestly can't remember the last time I went to a bar.
