The economy went into recession in the late 90s, before the rest of the country. The Conseco bankruptcy and closing of the RCA plant had a severe toll. But it has really picked up since late 2002. The labor market here has gotten tight within the past 4-5 months, from discussions with my friends who are trying to do hiring. The downtown has become a lively place. Many shops and restauants and new construction there. We have been lucky to have a string of visionary mayors: Dick Lugar, Steven Goldsmith, Bart Peterson. I really enjoy living here - it's laid back, friendly, cheap, and there are many cultural opportunities that didn't exist when I came here 11 years ago.

The snow sucks, though. -g-
