Looks like I may be moving to Bloomington, Indiana. Anyone else from that area?

[chrisdfriend]

I'm in Muncie but my older kids live in Bloomington!

[theworm]

Bloomington seems like such a nice town. We have a few nieces near Indy and a LOT of family in Fort Wayne and northern Indiana. I'll know for sure if and when we're moving within the week, but I'm excited about it. I think it will be a nice change.

Bloomington is a nice town, I used to live there--from about the middle of the 80s to the middle of the 90s--going to school for part of the time then just living and working there. There's lots of students! But having a university there provides more cultural opportunities--they have a great art museum and the Lilly library is famous for its collections of rare books. Away from the university, there is a good Arts Center--lots of local theatre. The downtown is a nice place to walk around--and lots of good restaurants.

 

Of course I lived there BC--Before Crochet. But a friend and I actually wove a blanket at a yarn store there, so there should be a yarn store!

Bloomington is a really nice town. Plus, there's a cool yarn store near the IU campus. I grew up in Fort Wayne and live in Indy now. My best friend spent a few years living in Bloomington, it seemed like a good place to live. With the university, there's a lot of cultural opportunities there and Indianapolis is about an hour away. Lots to see and do in Indianapolis.

[theworm]

don't think I didn't check out that yarn store after my interview!!! It's very nice. Lots of spinning wheels and looms, too!!!!

 

Yes, I like the town a lot and there is quite a bit to do for such a small city.

We have a lot of family in Indy and even more in Fort Wayne and north of Fort Wayne, so I'm hoping this will work out. It would be great!

[theworm]

It's certain! I'm moving to Indiana! I'm so excited!!!!

I used to go to Lowell quit a bit but haven't been there in the past couple of years. I love the Hallmark store there and also Alco!

[Amyjk]

Are there any good lys around the mall area (Merrillville, or Hobart, whatever it is considered nowadays! LOL) Or in Lowell? I know Hobby Lobby has a good selection, and I go to Michaels in Valpo......also I haven't been to Sheeps Clothing yet... But I plan on going after Christmas. I graduated in '90 from Portage. My sister lives in Lake Station and I used to live in New Chicago, for a few years anyway when I was newly married. Right across the street from the fire station in the brick house on the hill. I'm a school bus driver, so whenever I'm out on a field trip, or athletic trip, I like to get to the local craft stores and see what they have. Which I usually end up spending all the money I've made on that trip! LOL

How funny...what a small world! I used to live in PineVillage trailer park right there! We live in Merrillville now and of course there is the Hobby Lobby and Michaels and I also like JoAnn's. I have never been to Sheeps Clothing but would like to go as well. I am a bit older than you, I graduated in 77 from Lake Station. Go Eagles!!! I was in Valp today for Shipshewana on the Road!

[jenhen]

Sheep's Clothing is great--I used to live in Valpo, my parents still live in the area and I try to visit that shop whenever I'm in town. I definitely recommend it!
