Likes: urban atmosphere, good restaurants, easy freeway access, lack of traffic, duckpin bowling at Atomic..dislikes: not a whole lot to do an an ordinary day (on days with festivals, 500, etc it is vibrant)..small skyline (even smaller than Columbus, OH), questionable crime rate
I found Indianapolis to be quite boring. In fact, I planned to spend the weekend there, but came back a day earlier because there was nothing to do. The downtown scene was okay, but lacking in any identity or culture, just seemed kind of bland. I think that Indy's numberous republican conservatives have way too much influence on the city, and ...

Friendly and Fun Midwestern City
By chris.f.brown@sbcglobal.net, 05/31/06
I have lived in San Francisco for the past 8 years, but I was born and raised in Indianapolis where I spent about 23 years of my life. I go back to Indianapolis regularly to visit family and friends.
Indianapolis reached a low point in the mid-1970's, but since the mid-1980's it has been experiencing a renaissance. The revitalization ...

so uninteresting
By A Yahoo! Contributer, 05/15/06
Man this place is so boring. I'd hate to get stuck, or worse yet live here. There are like a few restaurants downtown, and not much shopping at all.

great place to be
By john_echelbarger, 04/18/06
Incredible city, it has a beautiful compact downtown that can entertain people of all ages. Nightlife is great, attractions are cool such as the childrens museum, indy motor speedway, zoo, conner prairie etc. The pacers and colts games are alot of fun, and safety is not an issue. Transportation will not be a problem.

As a Californian moving to INDY- be careful of a few things: Don't tell them you are from California, they will call you an elitist; be careful buying your house, you will probably lose money and/or not be able to sell it afterwards; remember, people move there because it is "cheap", but think about it- there are not many businesses, shops, restaurants, entertainment etc in places where people do not want to spend money.

Native Californian moving to INDY
By Lisa D, 04/05/06
If you are looking for a fast pace City, Indy isn't the place for you. BUT if you are looking for a nice clean place where the people are friendly, you can afford to buy a house and not deal with rush hour traffic 24 hours a day, then INDY is the place. I am a native califorian, born and raised in LA. I can't wait to get out of here. I ...
Indianapolis is so awsome! The down town is amazing! Some surrounding areas are a bit shoddy, but the city is awsome. Steak and Shake is the best! Never thought there was so much to do here. Indianapolis Motor Speedway, NCAA Hall of Champions, Worlds largest childrens museam, Indinia state museam, indian museam, sports (rca dome will soon be ...
