The Cross-Roads of America. The state that lies between Ohio ,Illinois, Kentucky and Michigan. The state is quaint and known for the Indianapolis 500 and the residents' fervant love of basketball. Considered by many to be a nowhere hole in the wall for rednecks etc., but oh well. And is also the namesake for one of the coolest film heroes of all time, Indiana Jones. Admit it, that sounds alot better than Kentucky Slim, New York Paul or California Fag.

Considered the "Cross Roads of America." It is known for basketball, corn, and racing, but is now known for football, running, and other sports as well. People from Indiana are called "Hoosiers" (see definition) and are percieved as sleepy red-necks (not always accurate). It is a very agriculturally rich part of the United States.

A state that the average American knows very little about.

Indiana, also known as Indi is a very pretty girl who is confident and passionate in everything she does, She's gorgeous in every single way. She's nice, intelligent, sweet, VERY funny, and just perfect. She's wonderful inside and out, once you get to know her she is very loud and funny, she has a great sense of humour and brightens up everyones days. Indiana loves helping people and loves animals. She can brighten up any room with her amazing smile.

Place where I live. Is famous for corn, racing, and michael jackson. Unfortunatly. People often think there is nothing here but corn, but they are deeply mistaken. We are often referred to as red necks but the red necks are in kentucky not Indiana.

This state can Be Found In The Midwest United States. Also, more specifically, it can be found between the great states of Illinois and Ohio. What's in Ohio, people sometimes ask. I believe the more accurate question is this: What's in Indiana?

Beautiful Downtown Bean Blossom T-Shirts (Look at an atlas to locate Bean Blossom)

Indiana is a state full of sweet, humble, thoughtful, courteous and intelligent people. It has gas stations and shopping malls just like every other state everywhere but luckily people don't act like they're too cool to live here and they're destined for bigger things like some kind of dipshit character from Footloose. Yes the KKK was here at one time, but so was the Levi Coffin House, known as "The Grand Central Station of the Underground Railroad" so suck it, whitey! We have the dunes, the East Race Waterway, multiple state parks and forests such as Turkey Run and Mounds State Parks, quaint rural towns, the art and bicycling community of Lake Wynona, metropolitan areas such as Fort Wayne and Indianapolis, the amazing architecture of Columbus, a beautiful resort in French Lick. More importantly here's what we're not: We're not some city that a bunch of people decided was cool, left their home states for and caused overpopulation and rent hikes. We're not full of trendy assholes, so that's pretty nice for us. Leaving your town to go somewhere that other people made cool just makes you a follower and you can't claim responsibility. While you are here, make the place you live better, that would be an actual accomplishment and a contribution to your community.

A large cornfield interspersed with trailer trash redneck communities, meth labs and Wal-Marts. Youths' idea of an exciting night on the town is driving around the courthouse square eight hundred times in the pick up truck while drinking Pabst Blue Ribbon and "ahollerin" HEEEEEEEEEEEE-HAW!" incessantly.

A state that is not actually completely full of hicks and corn, as many people of the coastal persuasian are led to believe. Most important exports include: James Dean, Jim Gaffigan, the guys who run homestarrunner.com, Red Skelton, Axl Rose, The Jackson 5, Hoagy Carmichael, David Letterman, Anne Baxter, Karl Malden and David Lee Roth was sort of here for a while.
