28. My parents split time between Michigan City and Dunelleon, FLA.

Drives my father crazy...he can not abide Republicans at all, yet he finds them encroaching on once solidly blue areas like Michigan City (the Region has been reliably blue for generations despite the state being more and more Red...I remember the '08 election and seeing the national news breaking down the vote in Lake, Porter and LaPorte counties to see if they would put Obama over the top and swing Indiana blue).

I only travel back to Indiana to visit the beaches...though I think you are right...Warren Dunes in Michigan has always been a great beach and park...and then Redamak's restaurant in New Buffalo, Michigan...and the South Shore Line to the Museums and Grant Park in Chicago...hey...come to think of it, even when I am IN Indiana I spend more time getting the hell out of there than actually staying!!!
