        I actually moved back to Indiana from California after growing up here. And I’m glad I did it because my daughter gets to see her grandparents and I got to spend time with my father before he died. I also get to support my mother now that she’s in her 80s. But I really hate a lot about this state.

            How much there is to do and what time things close really depends on where you live in MI… the same can be said for inclusiveness, or course that seems like a very vague term, so I’m not really sure the meaning in this context, I can only make assumptions.

                Ah, you mentioned leaving MI, so I figured you were talking about the lack there.

                Indiana does seem like a pretty dead state. I have to assume there’s some stuff in Indianapolis, but I’ve never been. My experiences with Indiana have been staying at a little lake cabin near Amish country, buying fireworks and everclear we couldn’t get in MI, construction, and being detoured through Gary…

                That Pinball places looks pretty cool, places like that can be hard to come by. If you’re up for a trip to Chicago, check out Galloping Ghost, they have almost 1,000 arcade games there. https://www.gallopingghostarcade.com/

          Every year I get a little bit happier to live in a major metro area in Indiana so that I dodge the majority experience of the state.

          But man it still doesn’t help me feel better about my state. I wish rural Hoosiers would wake up and realize they could have it better

      Stuck in Missouri taking care of my grandparents and my wife’s parents. I’ve been wanting to move out of this shithole since I was 13. Now, I have to worry about reproductive issues with my high risk wife as it seems like we are hunkering down here entering our 30s.
