Moved from Shitcago around 10 years ago (wife is from IN). A bit boring unless you're in Indy if you're single, but otherwise a great place to raise a family. Lots of good golf for cheap if you're into that (Royal Hylands is a fun little course that will just be north of you).

Quote HistoryQuoted: I don’t hate it here. It’s small town USA where I am from. The small towns in IN (and western OH) do have neat town squares and courthouses, many with big civil war memorials. Many don’t have a whole lot of active businesses in those blocks, but they probably aren’t changed much in the last 60 years. Big car cruises in Fairmount (James dream birthplace I think) and Gas City Not too far from where Op will live I used to stop at the AMA flying site too, on my trips out occasionally. That’s a large model aviation flying site. Would throw an RC model in the car for my trips and fly around for a while, then head to Kokomo. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I have a question. Here in Texas we have HEB. HEB is a Texas based grocery store. HEB is great for buying local products, from meat to whatever you can think of. What's the Indiana equivalent of HEB? What's a good store to buy local products (meat, produce, beer, etc)? |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I love Indiana! I moved here from Illinois, so ofc the juxtaposition was much different from a move from Texas. That being said: -good gun laws -conservative values -constitutionally capped property taxes -landlord friendly laws -strong business climate Yes, it's geographically boring. It's the Midwest. But the people, values, and laws are great, in my opinion. I'm proud to be a Hoosier! Good summary. No homeschool regulations either. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: It’s is humid. I live in Evansville. Most mom and pop restaurants will have pretty good fried chicken. Meth is a problem for small towns and cities alike. Gang bangers in Evansville are poor shots they shoot often but rarely kill each other. I lived in GA, VA and FL for many years, self segregated areas are a thing. Divided by a highway or train tracks type of thing. Born and raised here reckon I’ll die here too. I’m from Evansville originally. If you get up near Bloomington and further north the humidity is a lot more tolerable. That Evansville valley can get pretty miserable June-August. It is similar to St Louis. |

I love the location. My wife said the same thing. It's perfect. We will eventually be moving to moving to Greensboro but it's pretty much the same area. My employer is going to be moving us into an apartment in Knightstown while he renovates an old farmhouse on one of his farms in Greensboro. He wants us to move to the farmhouse once it's ready and have me basically watch over his cattle.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Don't let anyone tell you different, Southern / Southeastern Indiana has plenty to do if you like to get off your couch. While I'm across the river in northern Kentucky we spend plenty of time over there in Lawrenceburg, at Perfect North Slopes tubing and snowboarding, at Brookeville Lake canoeing, kayaking and camping, at Little Farm on the River and Clifty Falls camping with the kids, there are wineries if that is your thing, and casino's as well. A few hours away you have Wright Pat Air Force museum and several Zoo's are within a days drive. Across the river in Louisville KY there are tons of things to do as well. Plenty of gun shops are nearby and lots of property to shoot on if you are able to simply make friends with your neighbors. Wife got her Scuba cert over there in a gravel pit lake, and I've caught countless panfish, bass and catfish from farm ponds in southern Indiana and the National Muzzleloading Association used to be based in southern Indiana as well. And corn, lots and lots of fresh corn.  Madison has hydrplane racing in July and classic hydroplanes in September. |

Lots of great things to explore, particularly in Southern Indiana. PM me if you run out of places to go. |

Knightstown is pretty nice. I've got some family that lives near there. As to gun rights, Indiana is pretty good. CCW is still 5 year license ("free" but you have to pay for fingerprinting) or lifetime ($50 plus fingerprinting). There are currently multiple bills in the state house for constitutional carry, but it's been short circuited by 'moderate' Republicans before.
Indiana is one of the 'most typically American' states in the country. Outside of Indy, Gary, and Bloomington, it's pretty conservative. Indy used to be a great town, but has become a bit of a "Berkeley wannabe" in the last couple of decades. The weather, of course, sucks. Hot, humid summers (nothing compared to TX though); cold, damp, grey winters; and rain, rain, rain, most of the rest of the year. September and early October are usually pretty mild, dry, and sunny. I love Indiana, even though I hate the rain. Oh, and don't be scared by all the Hoosiers - there are also a lot of Boilermakers here. Also, it has now been 1,807 days since IU last defeated Purdue in men's basketball. :D |

My wife was raised outside Ft Wayne and moved to Florida for a teaching job after college in 1969. We have been married for 50 years and during the time have been to Indiana almost every year to visit her family. So I have an outsider's perspective on it.
Friendly people for the most part. Lots of German ancestry so good work ethic. Conservative values (except for my Moon Bat sister in law) Dull boring landscape. Flat corn field after flat cornfield. Great weather in the summer but sucks other times. In the areas that I went I always felt safe. Indiana venison and wild hog taste better than Florida's. (They eat corn rather than acorns) Cost of living is reasonable. They tell me state taxes are high relative to the South. Our nieces and nephews were well educated so the schools are good. Many Lutheran churches. My wife would rather live in Florida than the place she grew up in but she is still a Hoosier at heart. |

Quoted: Took a trip to Indiana to visit some relatives and got offered a job and a set of living circumstances that are too good to turn down. It's an amazing opportunity and just fell into my lap. So I'll be moving with the wife and kids up there in April. I've lived in Texas my entire life so this will be a huge change. So what are the gun laws like? Things to watch out for? Taxes? I know next to nothing about Indiana. I have a lot of research to do. For example, I have a Texas LTC(License to Carry) and I'm not sure what I need to do to make it valid in Indiana. On a related note I'd like to thank @scuba_steve and @whiskerzthecat for shaming me in one of "teh poors" threads. In a small way this helped inspire me to take this advantage of this opportunity. I've been sick of being poor for a long time and this move will get me on the path to becoming ARFCOM rich.  Anyway, and insider info would be greatly appreciated.  I have lived here for 30 years in SE Indiana and it is a great place to live and raise a family. Indiana schools are top notch. I haven’t been to Knightstown. Closest would be Rihm’s meat which is east of there. They have great meat and sausage. I think everyone has covered your questions like lifetime CCW. Indiana is a quiet state. Lots to do if you like being outdoors. Indianapolis is a nice town (not too big) with lots to do if you need some Urban activities. Lots of lakes for fishing and areas to hunt if you know who to ask. I will be honest, lots of families have been here for generations and we are a bit conservative and introverted. You may need to spend some time for people to get to know and trust you before they will welcome you into the fold and share the great secrets of Indiana. Not a lot of people move to Indiana so the people that are here can be somewhat distrustful of strangers. That just because we want to protect what we have. I know a few “blues” who have moved into my area and have been pretty much ostracized from the community for trying to spread their nonIndiana values. Some advice; 1. listen first, seek to understand and then be understood. You are from Texas so we do have a kinship in values. Funny story. We had a family from Texas move in down down the road from me. Great people and fit right in. I remember the first local party they attended. They brought Armadillo Balls and they were the hit of the party. We became good friends. 2. When you purchase your house make sure you file for Homestead exemption for reduced property taxes Welcome to the Great State of Indiana |

Can’t add much more than had been already. Grew up in Ohio, been here (NE IN) fort 30 years now. Glad I made the move .
People are friendly, and this area in the Midwest is probably one of the larger “low cost-of-living areas” in the US. House prices and taxes are average. Conservative state, they went red for Obama’s first term, realized how bad they screwed the pooch, and went back red in the 2012 vote. I think 2008 was the first time the state went blue since the early 60’s. North side of Indy is pretty nice. Quite a free wineries scattered around. But ... nobody seems to know what the heel a Hoosier is ...

Nothing like a fresh home grown Indiana cantaloupe. We do have a short growing season though so BLT season (fresh local tomato’s)runs from late June to Early September. Blackberries and melons in early July and sweet corn late July through August. I do know a place that gets in good heirloom tomato’s in the off season as they know a local grower with a greenhouse that lets the partially ripe on the vine. Not passing out the info though. One of the Indiana secrets that allows you to have a great BLT in the off season. Ha ha ha |

But, you are a short drive from three major metropolitan areas in two states. Cincinnati is less than 2 hours away, which is Kroger headquarters. I don’t believe we have a local or “state” grocery store chain. You don’t have to drive far to find a local farm stand that sells seasonal fruit and veggies. Nothing like a fresh home grown Indiana cantaloupe. We do have a short growing season though so BLT season (fresh local tomato’s)runs from late June to Early September. Blackberries and melons in early July and sweet corn late July through August. I do know a place that gets in good heirloom tomato’s in the off season as they know a local grower with a greenhouse that lets the partially ripe on the vine. Not passing out the info though. One of the Indiana secrets that allows you to have a great BLT in the off season. Ha ha ha Kroger country.  And I think this is misleading, as Kroger now owns other brands that appear to be rolled up into this map. Those east coast locations are probably Harris Teeter, for example. |
