Indiana

2005 - I visited Indiana for 3 days in the early part of 2005 for a business trip.  Initially I was very excited to be going to this city because I'm a huge auto-racing fan and Indianapolis has a long and distinguished history with motor sports.

In the end, I was somewhat disappointed with the city.  Perhaps it was the part of the city that I stayed in, or perhaps it was because I didn't have that much time to explore*, but I didn't find anything that made me want to return, much less stay any longer.  I had a hard time finding decent food; most of the restaurants were fast food, or bland.  There weren't many activities to keep me busy in the evening.  Worse, it was VERY cold.  (Obviously that is a seasonal thing and I don't think any less of Indiana because of it.

* - I had no more time in California or Dallas than I had in Indianapolis, yet I found a lot to like about those cities.
