Former resident of Terre Haute here. I also lived in Indianapolis when I was a little Doper (late '70s). My extended family (both sets of grandparents, most uncles & aunts, etc.) are in the Fort Wayne area. And my parents are in the process of moving from Chicago into their ‘golden years’ house on a lake near Albion. ---

Currently Parker, Colorado. See, the smart ones **do** leave! 😉 However, I was born in Gary, grew up in Hobart, went to Ball State in Muncie for two years, lived in Merrillville for a short time, then got smart and moved to Downers Grove. > [@](#): > > _Originally posted by Superdude_ > New Albany. Small town on the Ohio. Right across the river from Louisville, KY. Superdude, do you know Julie Monroe? ---

I spent a weekend in Seymour once. That ought to get me some sympathy, right? I also grew up in Nebraska, and I have forwarded the names of all of you who bitched about THAT state to our Cornhusker Goon Squad. Tokiwoki, is there more than one Texas in the U.S.? I went to school with a bunch o’ Texans, and they all couldn’t wait to get back there. We all knew Not To Mess With Texas. ---

Whatever faults the state has, at least Indianapolis (actually, [http://www.wish-tv.com](http://www.wish-tv.com)) was able to get Joy Dumandan away from FoxNews. ---

The only thing I can say about Indiana is - \*\* Why don’t you people name your fucking roads!!!\*\* ahem…sorry but driving straight though to St. Louis and seeing nothing except road names like SR 123 gets on my damn nerves… oh yeah, my daughter named her cat **Winkie** :eek: Xploder [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/fuck-you-indiana/63964.md?page=2)
