Indianapolis, Indiana

Ah, Indianapolis, the city that makes you say “Indiana-who-now?” Located smack dab in the middle of America’s heartland, Indianapolis is the capital of Indiana and a prime destination for those who love corn, basketball, and disappointment.

Geography and Climate

Indianapolis is situated on what can only be described as a vast, never-ending plain of…well, not much really. The city is surrounded by farmland as far as the eye can see. Don’t let the flatness fool you though, there are still a few hills that will get your heart rate up, like the dreaded “hill” on the Monon Trail.

The weather in Indianapolis is something else entirely. The summers are hot and sticky, with temperatures reaching what feels like a billion degrees. The winters are cold, gray and windy. However, if you’re looking for that perfect weather sweet-spot, look no further than our gorgeous two weeks of fall, which falls…unfortunately in the middle of October.

Culture and Attractions

If you’re looking for world-class culture, look no further than the world-famous speedway in our world-famous city. That’s right, Indianapolis is home to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, where you can watch cars go around in circles for hours on end. And if you’re really lucky, you might even get to meet a famous NASCAR driver, like…uh…Jeff Gordon?

But it’s not just about fast cars! Indianapolis is also home to some of the most beautiful murals you’ll ever see. And if you’re looking to learn about Indiana’s proud history, you can explore the Indiana State Museum, where you can learn all about John Mellencamp and the Indianapolis Colts.

Economy

Indianapolis has a thriving economy, which is good, because you’ll need a steady stream of income to afford all the exciting things to do here, like visiting the world’s largest ball of paint (yes, it’s a thing). The main industries in Indianapolis are corn, basketball, and…uh…more corn?

Conclusion

All in all, Indianapolis is a great place to visit if you’re looking for a unique experience. Whether you’re looking to watch cars go in circles, see some beautiful murals, or just get lost in a corn maze for a few hours, Indianapolis has got it all.

So come on down to Indianapolis, where the corn is plenty and the excitement is…well, also plenty, just don’t expect it to be anything like New York or LA.
