Review of Evansville, Indiana


Evansville, Indiana
Star Rating - 9/23/2008
I was born and raised in Evansville, until I graduated from Evansville College and entered the USAF, where I was moved from city to city over a 20 year career.
I have lived in Texas(pilot training), Florida (Homestead, south of Miami)California (near Sacramento), Ohio (Dayton), New Mexico (Clovis), Georgia (near Macon, where I eventually retired) not to mention overseas tours in Vietnam and Korea.
I have been severely homesick for Evansville since I left in 1965. I spent all my vacation days returning to Evansville to visit family and friends. The reason is the people, not the place. Evansville people are the most friendly, generous, warmhearted folks I have met. The closest I have ever found is my curent home here in middle Georgia (Warner Robins, just south of Macon) If not for my career, I would have stayed in Evansville my whole life and been very happy.

I totally disagree. As a single veteran, I've found this place to be utterly depressing, and I find a resistance to outsiders. I have a run-in with some locals in an organization I was part of and they categorically took the side of the person at fault and pushed me out of the organization. Evansville is a dead end unless you already have your family with you. If you are a single, middle-aged person, get as far away from Evansville as possible. I'll trade places with you!
