Crap. The only interesting fact I knew about Indiana. Now what?
Is there anything else interesting I should know about Indiana?
I believe that they've always had it, it's just half the state that doesn't observe it. Must suck when the next town over is an hour time different.Lou said:Indiana adopted DST!

I think most of us here prefer the "interesting" crap stay on the East and West Coast.XJ_ranger said:having been there twice now - there is nothing interesting in Indiana...

Only counties adjacent to Chicago and those down near Evansville were the only ones that observed DST. They had very close economic ties with neighboring cities that made it practical for them.87manche said:I believe that they've always had it, it's just half the state that doesn't observe it.

I was thinking the same thing......5-90 said:Yeah - I grew up there. Spend 17 years in the state, there really is nothing to do there, and nothing really interesting.
However, I did like the fact that we didn't bother with DST while I was there - something that is actually attracting me to Arizona.
How about this - put the whole world on Zulu time, and just offset operating hours for everyone in other "zones." That way, it's the same time everywhere, and you'll eliminate this whole "time zone" confusion when dealing with other places.
And, eliminate "daylight savings" time altogether. What's the damn point? It doesn't make the daylight any longer - it just confuses people when you make them change their clocks twice a year, and messes up their circadian rhythms...

It's a nice place to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there.5-90 said:Which bit - the part about "nothing interesting in IN" or the part about correcting the whole "time" debacle?

There is plenty to do in Indiana. The difference between here and other places is, you can actually afford to do it here.
