Evansville, IN The Dullest City 0.5 rating By Anonymous ( Dec 17, 2021) I was born and raised here in Evansville. As I've grown up the city becomes more depressing and dull. With the rain happening all the time and if it's not the constant temperature change in this city it's raining. Most of the people here will help others in need but most seem lik ...Read More e they don't care about anyone but themselves. The crime rate is outrageous here, I wouldn't be surprised if it surpasses Gary at this rate. So if you want a dull, crime riden, people only caring about themselves, tempeture fluctuating city then this place is for you. Read Less

Obnoxious Clique Culture 0.5 rating By Anonymous ( Sep 08, 2019) If you are young and single and not from Evansville or related to someone here, you should not relocate here unless you are moving with close family members, otherwise you will have a hard time connecting. Not impossible, just more challenging than other places I've ever lived an ...Read More d I've lived many places throughout the US. People form cliques early in life and stick to them. They also seem to get married right out of high school here so if you're not in high school or college, dating will be another challenge. Large older population. People are friendly on the surface, but are not open to "outsiders." Nightlife options are dismal. Some small venues offer country and rock options, but if you have other music interests, you're out of luck. Have to drive at least 2 hours through farmland to get to larger cities. Very old fashioned, small town mentality. Pretty much segregated ethnically. Town leadership says they want to grow and welcome all, but residents act differently. 1/2 star for safety and quiet, although, if you live on the "wrong side of town" it's neither safe or quiet.

Evansville is a good place to die of boredom. 0.5 rating By saddad ( Feb 26, 2017) This city is an economical disaster.The inner city is run down,druggies run rampant.I was born and raised here and have watched 62 yr.s of deterioration.Job after job has left the area,which I got caught up in,went through several shutdowns.Mostly nothing but service industry now ...Read More .It is hard for people to survive here anymore or have any hope of a good life,unless you are rich to begin with.There use to be a good zoo,outdoor theater,larger stadium,drive in theaters and lots of factory jobs.Now there are two main roads to get the hell out of here and travel over a hundred miles to do something. People don't have any good jobs or money to keep their homes in good repair,so it becomes more and more run down.I would say leave as fast as you can. Read Less

Easy Living in Evansville, Indiana 4.5 rating By Anonymous ( Jun 01, 2010) Having visited the city of Evansville, Indiana many times over the last thirty years, I must say I highly recommend this city for anyone who is looking for a fun weekend get-away. Located between Illinois and Kentucky on the Ohio River, Evansville offers a great number of things ...Read More to do and attractions to see!

There are literally hundreds of stores with great shopping in Evansville, with the Eastland Mall home to many of them. There are plenty of specialty shops, as well. If eating is a main priority, then Evansville will fill the bill. There are so many great restaurants in Evansville it is hard to choose which one to try first.

Evansville offers a lively nightlife with plenty of bars, pubs and clubs. There is also a comedy club and the Casino Aztar for varied entertainment.

A great place for anyone to visit and probably an even better place to live, Evansville offers something for families, singles or couples. Treat yourself and put it at top of the list for future places to enjoy. Read Less
