Thanks for the list. Proud to be a Hoosier! :o)
I often said, “Indiana is one of the best kept secrets in the country.”
I think our low profile keeps us free.... Except there are more Michiganders and Illini showing up on a regular basis to settle here. Ohioans are too proud to soil themselves in Hoosier territory and Kentuckians can’t find Indiana or won’t cross the bridge. :o)
