We were going to take a trip to Indianapolis, but now we'll start to rethink it. Thanks for your help!

very true, Indy is very clicky. I'm from IN all my life and Indianapolis is not an inviting place, people are very defensive unless they are transplants. They are not open to any views other than their own and if you don't agree then you are a problem and will be rooted out. The monon trail and the canal are very nice and the accessibility to walking is pretty awesome but there have been many incidents of crime on both. There is a lot of crime in the Indy area violent and property the like. And the streets here are horrendous, despite ridiculous property taxes. Sidewalks will just end for no reason. Yet you'll see large cement medians throughout the county which in my opinion is a hazard and a direct reason for delays on road repair and clean up when there is any bad weather. Plus if its night they can be difficult to see, they jut out into the lanes many places THEY ARE RIDICULOUS!! what a waste of tax payer money. Not the greatest place to live. I think mostly people rave about it bc they lived here prior to college and want to feel great about coming home again. It is cheaper than other big cities but not as progressive don't fool yourself Indy you are a small fish in a big lake not the other way around.

Murders daily? Hmmm...another fact scientist. There is a reason it is called Hoosier Hospitality. Maybe you need to find better friends.
