Top Comments of this video!! :3
I am actually floored by this. I'm a Hoosier from Gary and I have been to every corner of the state from Michigan City, to Lafayette, Bloomington, Evansville and I currently live in Indianapolis. And this was such an honest and true, well researched and presented take on a state most people relate to Corn, Racing, the KKK and Meth. Indiana is so much more, and I'm gald you visited the Indiana dunes park. I grew up right on the shores of lake Michigan. So seriously for all Hoosiers, Thank you
Edit: Also I was told back in grade school that "Hoosier" came from the "who's 'ere" folk anecdote

Considering that a lot of people tend to forget about Indiana's existence, I thank you for putting in all the time and research it took to make this video. As a lifelong Hoosier, it's nice to hear something so informative about my home state. I don't think I've learned this much about Indiana since I was a kid.

Southern Indiana native and I feel like the only big thing you missed was Santa Claus. All letters addressed to Santa go to the Santa Claus, IN post office. And a group of volunteers respond. I lived there for 6 years and it is nothing if not on theme.
So glad you mentioned Abraham Lincoln. Folks often forget that he spent his most formative years here and there is a state park dedicated to his life here. His mother died and is buried here as well. Within the park is a covered outdoor amphitheater and every summer has a play dedicated to Abe.
Also Charles Manson is from Indiana. As well as a few other infamous folks.

When you mentioned the limestone capital of the world, Bedford, you forgot to mention all the natural limestone caves in southern Indiana, which are great tourist destinations. One was only discovered a few years ago near Corydon. Indiana is also home to the country's largest covered bridge, and covered bridges can be found all across the state in idyllic little towns, many with festivals dedicated to the landmarks.

We just relocated to Carmel from CA recently (by choice, mind you). When I told the locals where I came from they gave me that weird look. One person in the BMV (or DMV in other parts of the country) actually asked why would I do that. Still, it's a great state with genuinely friendly people. Believe me, when people in BMV actually want to help you to get your documents done, it is truly refreshing. I don't think those state employees in CA DMV gives a rat's behind what you need. Forgot to fill a space in the form? Move to the back of the line...

I grew up in Richmond and Centerville. I am glad that you mentioned Tenderloins and Sugar Cream Pie. I now live in Ohio and miss them both. The one thing that you failed to mention was the love of High School Basketball. The story of tiny Milan IN winning the State Championship is told in the movie "Hoosiers".
