Anyone in Indiana?
 
Sorry I am sure this has been asked before, but I'm new :)

I'm in central Indiana, one the southside of Indianapolis. I'm from Kent and married to an Indy guy who I met when I came over for my uni internship.

Hi,

I am in Fort Wayne!
There is a British Meet-up Group in Fishers. http://brit.meetup.com/222/

I haven't made the drive down yet but will make more of an effort when the weather gets better.

Hi! Fishers, IN here.
I'm glad someone posted the Meetup group on here.
Next one is this Friday. I've been slacking on my attendance lately, but hope to be there.

PM me the name of the group would you, please?
Meetings at either Flanigans (SW) or JK O'Donnell's (downtown) would work I'm sure..... :o

Hi, I live in Fort Wayne and set up British and in Fort Wayne on facebook. I went to the Fishers meet up last night and had a great time. I was hoping we could do something similar in FW, maybe at JKO's.

It's a small world. The funniest thing is, everyone here asks me how I ended up here as none of my American family are originally from here (they're from Florida and Cinci in OH).

N Manchester is a cute town but *small*. One thing I noticed here is people judge the size of towns by how many stop lights you have!

Looks like there's a number of people in Fort Wayne! Unfortunately I live on the Southside of Indianapolis and seem to be the only Brit this side of the city. I need to try and make it to the next meetup in FIshers though.

Terre Haute, IN here.

Now this is probably old 'everyone knows that' kinda thing but I'll mention it anyway.

I went to the Broad Ripple Brew Pub (842 E65th Street, Indianapolis) the other day. It's the closest I've seen a USA bar come to being an English style pub. For a start the beer actually comes in a UK pint glass (luxury!) - if you haven't been there then it's worth a trip.

The owner is originally from Middlesbrough.

Anyone from Indianapolis know any hotels/B&B's within walking distance of this place? I can't find any at all.

For any of you Facebookers, I started a group for the Indiana contingent.
http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gi...6329445&ref=nf

Feel free to join and chat about the Brit related discoveries in this state.

Timberhut, there are a couple of pubs/bars in and around Indy that might be what you're looking for.
There's Chatham Tap which is downtown on Massachusetts Ave, good place to go and watch a footie game.
Fionn Mccools which although is an Irish place, has a good selection of beer including Speckled Hen on tap. (96th St)

Indianapolis has come a long way in the nine years I've been living here, otherwise I might have buggered on back home.
