[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What’s so special about Carmel Indiana?[/quote]

I'm the poster living in Carmel. There is nothing particularly special about Carmel, Indiana. It's a normal small city. It's a nice place to live with reasonable housing costs and a good school district. That is all. That is why we moved here. Its "claim to fame" are roundabouts and lots of them. It also has a relatively larger high school at 5k kids. Everything else is normal.[/quote]

Carmel just gets a rep because it's more or less the wealthiest place in Indiana. "Midwest rich" isn't the same as on the coasts. I live in West Lafayette which is also relatively well off, but we like to roll our eyes at Carmel because it's just something you do. (Although, in recent years, I guess I've seen that kind of attitude directed at Brebeuf -- a private, Jesuit school where the parents who are too good for Carmel send their kids.) All of that notwithstanding, Carmel is really just suburbia. [/quote]
