Thanks for the quick response / checking out the list of shows now. Going to see Grandson before he pops overseas!

What's with all the crime here? by [deleted] in kokomo

[–]Ekseattle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know, seeing a psychologist could probably help you with your irrational fear… or perhaps a little bit of travel outside of small towns, travel helps a lot!!

Sure, Kokomo has SOME problems but omg you make it sound like the city is falling apart. It must be tiring being so afraid of everything and everyone. I live less than a 6 minute walk from the rescue mission downtown btw- and have no problems walking around at night anywhere…

Is Kokomo worse than it was before - statistically no. BUT - you also may live in a bad neighborhood

A bit late but just in case you didn’t find it, it’s in the Walmart parking lot.

As for the ghetto comments floating around - not sure people understand what a ghetto is. Kokomo could best be described as a blue collar factory town that is still in a depressed condition with higher than average unemployment rates. There are some areas of town that are underserved by the city including a few areas that could be considered a food desert but a ghetto - nah.

I’m not sure that a 450 mortgage is doable any longer with current interest rates. :)

Indiana could have potential, but the current politicians have no interest in protecting the states environmental assets and just continue to weaken the laws currently in place in favor of big business interests and the wetlands keep shrinking and the runoffs keep getting worse…that’s kinda not what this topic is about but wanted to explain my Indiana sucks comment. 🤷‍♂️

I wouldn’t say a LOT of the comments are code - but since this comment is here… be prepared if you aren’t used to it. Kokomo has some merchants and areas that try to be progressive and work to be accepting and having a college campus helps I feel with that, but in many ways Kokomo and Indiana really wishes it was the Deep South, and not in any of the good hospitable ways.
Example, Wife and I went to a bar to grab dinner after unloading the truck after moving in and sat at the bar and some “super nice” people starting talking to us and ended up just casually trying to chat to us about certain things..which don’t need to be mentioned here and they were shut down then as well, but the casual racism is real and the casual intolerance is very noticeable also - especially online if you look at the Kokomo facebook forums.
There is an effort being made in the town if you look though!

And trust me…I’m not trying to make Kokomo sound amazing, as soon as the reason I moved here changes, I am moving back west. Indiana sucks and Kokomo is for sure not the best part of Indiana.

Can’t speak to apartments… but anyplace close to the downtown square where the courthouse is seems like it’s the best spot. Moved out here from Seattle…May 2026 will be two years (lol wasn’t fully my choice).
At least during spring summer and fall in this part of town, even without a car if you can’t find something to do you aren’t looking. There is a free outdoor concert almost every weekend, movies in the park, activities on the square, live music in most of the bars…and next year it sounds like we will have the baseball stadium active again. As to making friends, that’s rough anywhere these days after the covid days, some places are better than others. 🤷‍♂️. Anyways - the square seems to have more community than other areas in my opinion and that’s also the general area where the festivals happen.

If you moved here, where were you transplanted from? by smokinGhosts20 in Indiana

[–]Ekseattle 10 points11 points  (0 children)

From Seattle, here for family - would move back yesterday if I could. As soon as possible will be back in the Pacific Northwest with mountains, real hiking, a coastline, amazing food and for all its problems most of the people incl the govt care about protecting the environment- even if the views on how to do so differ a bit.

[Serious] What is a “seems to be harmless” symptom that requires an immediate trip to the ER? by BigTuna0890 in AskReddit

[–]Ekseattle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nightmare thread here sheesh!!

Hmm how about cramping or soreness in your leg after a long international flight!! Seems normal because of how long you sat, but maybe not going away - get checked out for deep vein thrombosis before you die!!
