northwest Indiana

A mix of Chicago and the rest of Indiana in one. Often called The Region. Certain areas are more like Chicago and certain areas are more like the rest of Indiana. To people in Northwest Indiana, Indianapolis is in the south. This part of Indiana doesn't fit in really and sorta stands alone. Many Chicagoians hate people from here because they claim to know about the city and its struggles. The rest of Indiana is baffled by how different northwest Indiana is.
