[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone have an opinion on Indiana or Ohio?[/quote]

Former resident of Indianapolis here.  I lived there pre-kids but I always thought, and still think, it's a good place to raise a family.  Low COL, pretty neighborhoods with good-sized yards, decent restaurants (independent places and chains), plenty of outdoor activities (trails, bike paths, lakes, etc).  Big football city, if you like sports.  People are very friendly and value family.  In 2-3 hours, you can drive to Chicago, Cincinnati, Columbus, Louisville or the shores of Lake Michigan.  There is a lot more money in Indy than you would think (particularly in Carmel, Geist, and Fishers), although people don't talk about it or give it much attention.

Cons: it's not very diverse, and it's a tad Southern in certain respects (some people have accents, life moves at a slower pace, it's more conservative and religious than other parts of the Midwest).  A lot of people who live there are natives, or stuck around after attending IU or Purdue, but I never found this to be an impediment to making friends or getting to know people.[/quote]
