Indiana

Anybody all that familiar with the Hoosier state? I'm leaving for Indy tomorrow and will be there for a couple of weeks (figure it out). What can I expect in what will be my first real visit to Middle America?

I drove through Indiana once. From what I could tell, there aren't actually any people there. It's just one giant field of soy plants. Actually, there appeared to be a building with more than 2 floors in Indianapolis, but I only drive by it. The giant wooden cross on the side of the highway which stood about 200 yards before entering the city kept me at bay.

I haven't been to Indiana specifically, but I have been out to Idaho recently and I have been out there in the past [I have fam out there].
What you are going to encounter is friendlier people as a whole. People will talk to you more readily out in the midwest, make eye contact and say "Hello." It's typically a more relaxed atmosphere than the east coast, people tend not to talk as fast as easterners. And I will assume that there will be a lot more straight, long, straight roads than out in the east. I know that's what was out in Idaho, Indiana might be a little different, but you may be surprised at the grid-ness of the roads.

I've been to rural ohio which im assuming is similar to rural Indiana... expect lost of farms, lots of US made cars, and lots of McCain bumper stickers. People are actually nice and things are cheap, but other then driving around theres not a lot to do.

EJB - "people are actually nice." So northeasterners aren't nice. Are you implicating yourself in this large set of people? Cause I'm gonna go ahead and call myself nice.
