Buckle Up, Hoosier Hunters: We're Diving Deep (Kind Of)
Forget spelunking for this answer, because Indianapolis isn't exactly buried treasure (although its museums might hold some hidden gems). Here's the big reveal, folks: Indianapolis is the proud capital city of the magnificent state of Indiana. Mind. Blown.
I know, I know, you might be thinking, "Indiana? Isn't that, like, cornfields and racecars?" Well, you're not wrong about the racecars (the Indy 500, anyone?), but Indiana is also bursting with culture, history, and yes, even some pretty epic cornfields.
But seriously, folks, memorizing state locations isn't exactly a walk in the park (unless that park has a giant map, which would be pretty cool). Here's a handy dandy trick to remember Indianapolis' location:
QuickTip: Read a little, pause, then continue.
- Think of a big ol' mitten. That's Michigan, chilling up north.
- Now, picture Indiana as a rectangle snuggled right below the mitten's thumb.
- And there you have it, Indianapolis, smack dab in the center of Indiana, like the juicy center of a delicious...um...rectangle cake? We can work on the analogy.
