Love it: Creative growth in Indiana

When I was younger, I always thought that Indiana was sooooo behind the times (in comparison to bigger cities like LA, NYC, Miami and Chicago) and lacked artistic expression, a sophisticated palette and an eye for fashion.  Boy, was I so wrong!  Indiana is fast becoming a contender in every genre.  We've already shown the nation we're a force to reckon with when comes to sports--football, basketball, racing.  But we're also showing a great emergence in fashion, food and drink, music, fine arts, media and I'm loving every second of it.  Recently, I've seen several Indiana restaurants featured on shows like Diners, Drive-ins and Dives as well as Man vs. Food.  Events like Midwest Fashion Week and First Fridays are more and more frequent. 

This morning, I slept in til 5am this morning after staying up too late catching up with D.  So that meant I ran out the door this morning without eating breakfast; just a glass of nonfat milk.  Although there is a cafeteria not too far from where I am, I'm going to try and hold off until lunch time (munching on Breath Savers).  Instead, the masochistic side of me decided to torture myself by reading through local Indianapolis-based food and lifestyle blogs.  I love finding talented, interesting and inspirational bloggers, make it a local or Midwestern one and I'm even more smitten.  These amazing men and women do such a wonderful job educating the public about everything that is great about Indiana or sometimes not so great.  Eventually they will land a permanent spot on my BlogRoll but until then, I want to take a moment to highlight some of my faves:
I am always on the lookout for others, so contact me if you host a blog or know of any others.  Going grocery shopping today so I hopefully will have some yummy meals to share.  Have a wonderful day!
