Review of Indianapolis, Indiana


They've never been anywhere else
Star Rating - 5/21/2007
The people who are posting positive comments about Indy just don't know any better. I have lived all around the world and have never before encountered a less well-traveled population. Most people were born in Indy, have never left Indy, and never want to leave Indy. As a result their world view is narrow. Yes, there are museums in the city, but they are not comparable with museums in other cities this size. The art museum is truly pathetic. Only a Hoosier would think that there is a wide range of fine dining choices. Olive Garden is considered a great Italian restaurant. Also, please don't be confused by those postings claiming that this is a good place to raise children. It is, if you live in the suburbs and are insulated from the city. Otherwise, many areas are rampant with crime, and the school systems are deplorable. You must put your children in private school.
