[edit] Understand

[edit] Talk

Northern Indiana is known in television media for having the flattest accent amongst its citizens of anywhere in the country. Newscasters from around the US have, in some cases, been instructed to watch news broadcasts from South Bend in order to try and rid them of their local accent. As such, it is not difficult to understand anyone from South Bend who is a native to the city or area, though once south of Marshall County (Rochester, IN), one may notice a considerable difference as the Southern Indiana accent begins to develop rather dramatically and remains throughout much of the rest of the state.

Many local words are derived from Chicago slang, such as a cigarette being called a "square."

[edit] Get in

[edit] By car

The main roads are east-wests I-90/80, which runs from Illinois to Ohio through South Bend and Elkhart, and I-69, which runs up from Indianapolis to Michigan through Fort Wayne. Both are very convenient traveling roads throughout the region, with high 70mph speed limits, and relatively light traffic.

[edit] By bus

[edit] By plane

• Fort Wayne International Airport

• South Bend Regional Airport (SBN)

[edit] By train

The South Shore line runs straight to South Bend through Northwestern Indiana from downtown Chicago.

[edit] Get around

It's by far easiest to travel through the region by car. The aforementioned highways are the main routes, although US Hwy 33 is a very convenient way to get between Elkhart and Fort Wayne.

Northern Indiana is very rural, and is worth exploring, if only to see the natural beauty of the state.
