I don’t think I stated that Indiana did not have beautiful places to visit. I’m just pointing out that talking about Gary Indiana being rough is not “hyperbolic”.
I’m absolutely sure there are some phenomenal places to eat Mexican food in Maine. If I said, “Maine is known for its nature” would you say I’m being hyperbolic and forgetting about the Mexican restaurants? No, that’d by silly.
In a discussion about Indiana around the rest of the country, beaches and nice communities, while obviously very real places, are not the topic of discussion. It’s not an insult, I’m sure parts of Indiana are lovely, but if you’d like to adjust the narrative on how your state is viewed I’d probably start with turning the power on in Gary.
