you mean there's more than one of me? oh, no...
i'm in the same boat as mr. schumacher. i am
originally an east coast native. after living a good
many years in the washington d.c. area, my move to
fort wayne provided a "lack of culture" shock. you
can't tell me northern indiana has the same amount of
"culture" as washington. but, to be quite fair,
northwest hoosier culture is a different kind of beast
all together. yes, there ARE similar things to find in
indiana, but in my experience, it usually takes some
dedicated effort in looking.
i've lived in both big cities and small towns. i will
say that there are things i dislike about indiana, but
there are also some things i don't miss about the east
coast (namely the traffic). there are pros and cons
wherever you go.

you folks ever try to find a hotel room within a 200
mile radius during major racing events? i rest my
case.

and there lies the rub. but we make do wherever we
find ourselves, no? and that must also go for certain
bands thinking of leaving ohio, no?

do any of us on this list ever really have a point?
