Welcome to Indianapolis!
I grew up in Chicagoland, went to school at Purdue University, and spent 7 years in San Diego. I have to say that Indianapolis is my favorite city, and there are very many reasons for that. It's the people the lack of traffic, and the one-tank trips that surround us here. It's the best place for me.
A lot of people don't understand why I would like Indianapolis over San Diego, but I love the space that you have not living in a coastal city. In a coastal city, everything just grows upwards and the traffic gets insane. With an inland city, development just sprawls out further and further. Of course, with perfectly clear roads it takes almost an hour to drive across Indianapolis, but everything that I need is right in my neighborhood so I don't have to do that very often.
