In Indiana, we have plenty to be thankful for, from our stunning rural landscapes to our bustling urban cities. There’s one downside to being a Hoosier, though: living here pretty much ruins your chance of ever enjoying living anywhere else. Don’t believe me? Here are 12 was living in Indiana ruins you for life.
- We have the perfect mix of country and city life

- This perfect skyline
criana/Flickr Come on. There’s no way clouds look this amazing anywhere else.
- Fresh…everything
TownePost Network/Flickr Living amongst farms is pretty fantastic, especially if it means you get great local produce, dairy, and meat. Want organic, pesticide-free, fresh-off-the-farm goods? Don’t move away and it’s all yours.
- The Indy 500

- Great local wine and beer varieties
Steve Baker/Flickr Indiana has a huge craft beer scene and a ton of wineries scattered throughout the state. Move away and you’ll quickly find less variety.
- The State Fair

- Our ever-changing weather
Randy McRoberts/Flickr Okay, sure we love to complain that the weather changes constantly throughout the day, but if you were to move somewhere without seasons as intense as in Indiana, you’d be feeling pretty ripped off.
- This view
Tom Gill/Flickr Seriously, find another lakefront you find as gorgeous as the dunes.
- This iconic sandwich
davitydave/Flickr It might be a bit trite, but you won’t find a pork tenderloin sandwich like this anywhere else in the states. If you leave, you’ll miss it.
- This equally iconic pie
Robyn Anderson/Flickr I dare you to find pie quite so good elsewhere.
- The people
US Army/Flickr It’s true, the Midwest is full of helpful and friendly people always willing to talk to you and lend a hand. The people will be what you miss the most, should you ever move away.
What would you miss about living in Indiana if you moved away? Do you think being a Hoosier ruined you for life in other states?
