Review of Elkhart, Indiana


Hometown
Star Rating - 5/31/2013
I grew up in Elkhart and it's not the greatest city. My car had been broken into numerous times while living in northern Indiana (South Bend as well). I attribute to theft due to the economy here. My dad has had 3 plows stolen (1 included his truck). I never realized how horrible the weather is until I moved west to southern Utah, then Arizona. It's literally cloudy everyday here! Not to mention humid as hell. It's really noticeable when you remove yourself for awhile. But I do miss the grass and green. There are no jobs of any great quality to be found anywhere here. I would never come back if it wasn't for my parents and grandparents living here. My parents want out, and I hope they do get out. Kind of a depressing town really. People drink a lot because it's so uninteresting. Lots of chain restaurants and not a ton of unique places to eat like I've seen from other places. I hate to say this about my hometown but it's a dead-end. My parents were literally relieved to see me move away from northern Indiana.

Wow, what a negative review. To say people drink too much because the town is uninteresting is patently absurd. I think this review says more about the reviewer than the town itself.
