I'm also from Kettering/Dayton. Marion's pizza is my favorite. Miss how downtown Dayton used to be. Was an exciting vibrant city in the 60's-70's. Now it is a vacant lot warzone with no hope. It was nice growing up near the USAF museum and all the Wright brothers sites.
My sister lives in Wisconsin. I could definitely move there. Love the fresh cheese curds ya get there and seeing that super rich black dirtI'm not originally from Indiana, but from north central Wisconsin. I miss the hills and woods, and there isn't anything in Indiana that compares. The birch, the pine and evergreen trees mixed in with the maple, oak, etc. I've been to southern Indiana, and it is very pretty, but the woods don't have the same feel. I also miss the snow in the winter. I enjoy winter, I enjoyed ice skating, and sledding.
As far as food, Rocky Rococo's Pizza. It is the sausage they put on it mostly, plus the cheese, and it is pan pizza. If I wasn't allergic to most fish, I would say Friday Fish Fry's, but that is mostly because family tends to get together for going out for those.
Well to go the other way, as a life long Hoosier I miss the days when all of you that miss things from your old home were not here.The thread about Expat Hoosiers brought up the topic of "What do you miss from Indiana?" for those who have moved away.
I ask a similar question: For those who moved from elsewhere into Indiana, what do you miss about your former state or former area?
I lived in the Chicago suburbs for over 40 years before moving to southern Indiana in 2021.
What I miss from Chicagoland:
I have several good friends, that I miss seeing frequently. (But that really has nothing to do with Chicagoland.)
I miss Giordano's and Lou Malnati's Deep Dish Pizza. (I often drive over 3 hours round-trip to Indianapolis, which is the closest place with any good Chicago pizza.)
I miss Turano bakery's French Rolls. (I never realized that French rolls were a Chicago thing and was shocked that no-one carries them here.)
(Honorable mention to Portillo's and Jewel-Osco)
I have thus exhausted the list of everything I miss about Illinois and about the Chicago area.
Well, that is rude and uncalled for. I am happy to be in Indiana and could never go back to Illinois with their escalating attack on the 2nd amendment, including bans of most common firearms. I moved to Indiana primary because of politics. Illinois has got even worse in the last 2 years and will continue to slide down the political drain in the future.Well to go the other way, as a life long Hoosier I miss the days when all of you that miss things from your old home were not here.
Please take Lou Malnati’s, Giordano’s, and all the rest and go back…

So it is “rude“ for me to want the good things about my home before those from screwed up states moved here? I am basically saying the same thing you are, you are pining for what you miss from your old home, yours in another state, mine in the same state…Well, that is rude and uncalled for.

But each region of our great nation has things that are great about that region and things that people miss. Even states who have been absolutely ruined by the leftists like Illinois, California, New York & Hawaii have great things about them. (Not so sure about New Jersey though. ) It is no disrespect to your "new home" to still miss some things about your "old home"...
I still live in Indiana, but about a dozen years ago, the Clarksville pizza king closed, the nearest one now is in New Albany, and I hate driving in New Albany, so I miss pizza king in Clarksville.
Remember when Bobby would work there in the afternoons? He would go straight from driving the garbage truck to making pizzas.We should not have to cross Silver creek for Pizza King imho...It's cold by the time it gets home lol...
yes....Remember when Bobby would work there in the afternoons? He would go straight from driving the garbage truck to making pizzas.
Lobstah! Local history (think, “Cradle of Liberty”, ironically), the (ocean) beach, good bagels and summah vacations in the white mountains.The thread about Expat Hoosiers brought up the topic of "What do you miss from Indiana?" for those who have moved away.
