Evansville…..A great place to live! - 12/28/2021
I have lived in many places including Chicago Gary Indiana, Reno Nevada, Western Kentucky, and the north, west, and east side of Evansville so when I read the things that people have said about how dangerous it is they apparently have not lived in what I consider much more dangerous places like the southside of Chicago and Gary and downtown Reno Nevada. There are bad sides of town in any city you go but I have to say Evansville has and will always be my home. I just moved back from Florida and let me tell you the grass isn’t always greener on the other side I was there to help my dad while he was sick after he passed away I came back home. Evansville has the most down to earth and the kindest people. The cost of living is much more reasonable than most places I have been all of my children were raised and went to school here. I would say Evansville is one of the places you can find whatever type of lifestyle you are looking for it has the historical area, or you can live out in the Read More

It's not for everyone. - 3/13/2018
To write this review kind of makes me sad because I am attached to my city but I'm finally planning to leave because I just can't wait a lifetime for it to catch up to reality: Evansville is a large "small town" that thinks it's a big city.

I've lived in Evansville since 1994. Before this I was in a small town in southern Alabama and I must say: it's very different to be from nowhere and expect "nowhere-ness" than to be in a place that thinks it's more than it is. It's disheartening. That is Evansville.

It is very stagnant and, not to get too petty, the old money here just gets in the way of organic growth. It's a city of chain restaurants and jewelry stores. It doesn't give enough love to the local businesses that make Evansville truly unique. Also it chokes out new ventures. It's nothing to see a new chain restaurant open up and then close within the same year. It's got a few popular bars, like 8 of them, and most weekends you'll still feel a bored in Read More

Not friendly. I am sorry I moved here. - 10/19/2016
I live on the south-east side. I have lived here eight years, am an outgoing person, love people, but, considering Indiana is known for Hoosier hospitality, it somehow missed the boat. People rarely speak and I have to take the initiative to start a conversation. For the size of the city, there is very little to do. It does seem to have opportunities for education but, if I were a student, I'd get out of town as soon as I graduated. I see population is down; now I understand why.  Read More

The armpit of the Earth. - 1/14/2016
The title pretty much sums up my sentiments on this place. Out of the 15 different places I have lived, including out of the country, this one takes the cake on sucking. Everyone pretty much hit all the negatives, the only plus is that housing is incredibly cheap and traffic is not an issue. There's not much to do. The 4-H fair and a few restaurants downtown aren't what I would call a cultured and lively city.
If you dig cornhole and mudding you might like it.


Run.
