Best kept secret in Indiana. - 12/18/2006

The area boasts a top university in Purdue where many of the world's engineers and scientists begin thier professional lives. Purdue offers sporting events, cultural events in addition to the city of Lafayette's cultural venues.

The Legendary Frozen Custard by Columbian Park. And last but not least McCord Candies downtown, makes the best egg salad sandwhiches.

Nice "Front Porch" Community - 6/25/2006
I relocated to Lafayette, from Portland, Oregon, because the cost of living for a single person is much more affordable in Indiana as opposed to Oregon.

There is the university here (Purdue University) which has influenced this town in many ways. I have come across many different cuisines for dinner choices - which amazed me for a town of this size.
If you are looking for a calmer pace - this city is an excellent
