Review of Indianapolis, Indiana


Leaving Indianapolis
Star Rating - 1/3/2016
I moved to Indianapolis from a small town in Illinois. It was here or Chicago, and I heard there were jobs here. There are. Most pay minimum wage. The companies know they've got you, too, and so they treat you really poorly. I don't take it personally. Most Hoosiers (that's what they call themselves) treat everyone poorly. It's weird. I've never seen anything like it. Lots of angry people here. Probably because living here is tedious and dull. Gonna try Chicago. I'm young and have my whole life ahead of me. I can't see wasting it in Indianapolis.

You are so right. I used to be a liberal white apologist coming from an all white town. I came her for diversity and saw SO MUCH reverse racism against whites and have become racists. Blacks murder each other and others st alarming rates. The crimes her are very Detroit Chicagoan. I call it little Detroit. I mean shocking third world type stuff. I have become a reluctant racist. I don't mind the Hispanics too much as they really improve bad neighborhoods and start businesses. I wish I could post pictures if the city. Even lick pics of Kroger with huge gobs of spit st the entryway where people walk in the door and trash everywhere. This city is full of angry people. It's the weather. Poverty. Crime. And rub down city.

So true, living here is tedious and dull. There's nothing. I've been here three years and constantly say "I make the best of it" but it's hard to. I like adventure and to actually do stuff. No one leaves their house here. I haven't actually noticed the people to be rude, just dull and nonexistent. But I don't know anyone that closely here. Chicago is sooo much better! I go there when I can.

Indpls is the ugliest, dulliest city in which I have ever lived. The people are conservative and dull. They like to vacation in Florida or Kentucky. The city has no natural beauty and if you aren't into car racing, basketball, and football you will find little to do. There is little here to do and what is here is second rate. The locals however will praise it like it is a world class city which it is not and will never be. Those raised here love it , however, because they are undereducated and non-sophisticated. Run from here as fast as you can. Sorry but that is the way it is.
