    I live here in Indianapolis and those are all great places. There are so many things going on. Lots of events at the State fairgrounds and convention center. Lucas Oil Stadium and right now City Market is getting a makeover so that could be fun when it reopens. We have so many parks as well.

    Living somewhere and visiting are two different things..you saw all the wonderful attributes and Indianapolis is actually a very beautiful city...the people that live there that are disgruntled dont appreciate where they live..and the daily grind does people in..

    • @JamesandLaurent
      @JamesandLaurent  Před 7 měsíci

      We fully agree that living somewhere and visiting for two days are two completely different things. It works both ways. We know people who love where they live, but their city has nothing to offer to tourists. We won't mention names :)

      False, Indianapolis metro area is one of the best cities to make money and live, Cost of living is 11% lower than national average and salaries are 8% higher than national average, Im in the northern suburbs and I love it here, Making 150K per year and my taxes are only 30% of my income.

      Well, you make a cute couple. So glad that you can travel with someone you love. I thought that Indianapolis was supposed to be known for sports. It seems like you spent most of your time at museums. Did you ever make it to the Eiteljorg?

      Haha, isn't car racing kind of sporty and what Indianapolis is known for? But you're right, we mention quite a few museums in this video already and we didn't want to add Eiteljorg to the list. It would have if we had made a Top 10 video though :)
