Review of South Bend, Indiana


OK besides the weather and lack of things to do...

I lived in South Bend for years and if you have ever lived anywhere where there was something to do.. then this is not the place for you. Big business lunches happen in dank dark places or Food Chain McFridays. There are maybe 10 real nice restaurants in the entire area. Weather is awful in Winter(But not as bad as Chicago). But the people are very real.. not too snobby and easy to get to know. Housing is Cheeeeeaap!!! and nice. You can get a plantation for $500k or at least a nice house for 200k... not like the rest of the country. Also plenty of lakes nearby with the nicest down to earth upper middle class people in the country.
