You can add Indiana to the list. Turning into the Florida of the Midwest at a fast clip here, which is why we’re leaving for Maine.

I lived in Indiana for a good chunk of my youth.

I could not get the fuck out of there fast enough.

I'm from Indiana originally (Bloomington but a Sullivan native) and moved to Maine in 2021.

Can confirm, IN is a terrible place to live!

Even Bloomington? Having IU there didn’t balance things out a bit?

Did you know we had fascists at the farmers market, and someone spray-painted derogatory words/symbols on the sidewalks?

Because the city refused to ban the nazis at the farmers market, a group broke off and made their own farmers market, nazi-free. We literally had 3%ers "guarding" the fascists market stand.

Bloomington is pretty good, but the surrounding community is still very typical southern Indiana.
