@@mrtommy8875the downtown is really nice? Last time I was there the downtown was a ghost town after 5 pm. All the action was around the casino. North of the Lloyd was ok.
Born in Evansville, Indiana 1990 Saint Mary's hospital. Had a awesome childhood growing up there. Went to Culver Elementary, Glennwood Middle School, Bosse High School and Harrison High School. Then moved to Seattle, WA in 2009 and enrolled into a High School there. I do miss Evansville except for the low minimum wage. Used to make $4 an hour as a teenager while at Harrison High School.
I moved to E'ville in 1973 - I find it affordable and safe. If I want to go to a larger metropolitan area - it's a 2-3 hour drive, not bad. Our house in another city would be about double. I can find about anything I want here. There are two good colleges here, I graduated from USI.
I just moved here last year things seem to be good for me so far , After living in Las Vegas this is a lot better for me. and cheaper cost of living . everything is here dont have to go far that is one of the reasons that brought me here ~ just have to learn how to deal with each issue if one appears ~ There is really no place that will be perfect its all about how you adapt ~
I'm in Las Vegas now and investing in Evansville. Dry heat is still better then humidity. Mosquitos love me. What was the stark difference between Vegas for you when you got to Evansville? What do you miss?
@@jennifersilletto179 Its nice here so far moved here last year from Vegas after 32 years of it. Im originally from Boston so i know how the weather can be but its not bad in the winter , gets a little cold off and on little snow we had last year twice one inch each time was kinda nice to see it im retired now so i just stay in if the weather acts up car in garage its good ... the humidity gets high in the summer for a while but then it drops just have to dress light still better than the 100 temps.. where you cant even go out , Evansville has just about everything you need stores and businesses medical you name it they got it all. there is a new casino i havent been there but look nice in the pictures. houses here are so much cheaper than Las Vegas there is actually a house for sale right next to me just went on the market for 129 with a pool . cant beat that price needs some work inside and out but nothing major im up on the north side of the city its more quiet up here the west side is a little shady i dont go near there its more the north side in Vegas. , The east and north sides are the best and everything is close by Check more on it if you thinking of moving its been a good choice for me so far.. people are friendly little more culture here than Vegas mostly everyone here is from here where Vegas everyone is from another place , i have met two other people that are from Vegas , people are moving and relocating because of the high cost of living rents are lower just depends what you are looking for. even to rent a house is a lot lower ...hope this helps. If you need more information let me know Happy to help....
One very bad thing about Evansville, Indiana is the never ending man made by the water department and natural street pot holes. Almost no street that you can drive on that you don"t have to dodge pot holes or you will knock your car out of alignment. Good for the companies who do car repair or finance car purchases but bad on your bank account! Pot hole are almost never fixed correctly so after time they get larger. Some areas of town the pot holes are so large you have to avoid driving a city block just to miss them. We have went through Republican and now Democratic mayors and neither one seem to get the job done with fixing the streets!!! Building a building in downtown seems to be more important than keeping us and our vehicles safe! This nonsense is fine for selling new cars and loans or repair shops, for selling big size cars that don"t feel the pot hole but not for everyone else!!! Evansville, Indiana = Pot Hole City Indiana!!!
I live in Louisville (which is not vile at all), and I have often traveled to Evansville for enjoyment. There are several nice museums, and a beautiful riverfront. And the zoo is wonderful.
These dont seem like 5 reasons to not more here. These are problems in just about every city, anywhere. Evansville is the 3rd largest city in Indiana. If you dont find that out while researching to move here, then thats your problem. I would say a reason to not move here would be the crime. Yes, its everywhere. But it happens more in the bigger cities, again we're the 3rd largest in Indiana. 🤷♀️
Welcome to our channel! We actually love living in the Evansville, Indiana area! You’re right, all of these are pretty normal, but we’re always looking for fun ways to help people find our content! Thanks for watching! 🎉
My two adult daughters live in Evansville. I live there for a year in the mid nineties and couldn’t stand it. I’m originally from N. California so what do you expect. I will tell you this that raising a family it’s an excellent place. It’s NOT a singles person place at all unless your were born on a farm.
Evansville has changed a lot from when I grew up in the city. I live in Ohio now. Evansville is not cut off from everything I have lived in multiple towns that are towns like Lesterville,MO and Dothan,AL those are seriously cut off. Evansville is actually in the middle of everything especially if you like the night life. Louisville is 2 hours away, St. Louis is 2 and a half hours away, Indianapolis is 4 hours away, Cincinnati is 5 hours away, Nashville is 3 hours away and Evansville does have a pretty good nightlife downtown real good The casino, Adult entertainment that whole strip is booming. But the city is pretty cool.
Just moved from Vegas traffic never stops 24 hours takes so long to get anywhere this is nothing compared to there just have to learn the backways and short cuts its helped me a lot here ~
I grew up in Evansville, and found it mind-numbingly parochial and boring. I would never recommend it as a place to live. To exist, maybe. But not to live.
@@REALTORkendra -- I really don't think about cities that way, they are too complicated.. I've traveled around the world and there things that I like and dislike about most cities. I live in NYC, which I do love, but of course it has its downsides too.
I think it has a lot to do with your stage of life too. I’ve lived all over the world … including two years in Bangkok . I’ve been to Evansville a couple times and the pace really appeals to me 🤷🏻♂️
But the West Side Nut Club does an amazing job giving back to our community! Hundreds of thousands of dollars have been donated to charity in the past year! Amazing.
Who cares? We know what she meant. Misspelled words of today are no different than all the over used acronyms that sometimes leave you clueless of what they meant.
There is not much here in evansville indiana. Just a few wall marts ,lowes,and home depot. The freeway system is constantly worked on year round and it is terribly inefficient . The down town area is tight and restricted in adequate parking for businesses and public patrons just ridiculous. Ask any 18 wheel driver from coast to coast and they will tell you to avoid evansville indiana,better known as stop light city,and that's a fact,you will see. The crime task force is not large enough to handle the criminal load and there are shootings at least two times a month or more,and dead bodies turn up on a consistent basis through the year. There is alot of meth abuse and trafficking due to local cyndicated distribution. I only go into town to Wal-Mart or Sam's. I like the exstream west end of evansville,its like pleasant country side with scattered small german townships and communities. They spent all of their there money on ww2 monuments to planes and navy vessels. I mean that is fine but so many aspects of the essentials of effective and efficient roads have taken a last place priority ad compared to city riverfront and beautification projects,and there is no parking. Personally i would not want to be in evansville if there was a major emergency evacuation effort. I think it would be a major failure. It is the states southern most city and a gate way to the south.
@@Neil-ht8fvfun fact, Mooresville has less than 10k people living there, Evansville has around 115k! Although Evansville isn’t as fast pace as bigger cities such as Indianapolis, it’s the third largest city in Indiana! 🎉
Evansville at one time had a strong proud heritage of racial segregation and division. A strong hold if the kkk in the past,but i think all of the cross burners and sheet wearers finaly died off with the changeing of the times.
What do you think? Does Evansville sound all that bad?
The downtown is actually really nice.

You should see the collection of traffic cones on the Lloyd expressway currently! We all dream of an expressway with no orange cones! 😍😴
