The 14 Best Decisions You Can Make In Indiana
Okay, so you’ve already made the best choice of all: living in Indiana. But once you’re here, there are still some awesome choices you can make to ensure your stay in the Hoosier state is as great as possible.

...and always keep them handy. Is it scorching hot? That just means it could start raining and cool down at any second. Freezing cold? Give it a few hours. Our weather is fickle, so be smart and think layers when shopping.

Whether in the country or city, so many of Indiana's hidden treasures can be found off the beaten path. Always explore back roads (for less traffic) and bask in your surroundings.
