Indiana Destination Among America’s Top Nerd-Friendly Cities
Whether it's books, board games, space movies, or comic books, there is one Indiana city that now bears a nerdy badge of honor. It's no secret that I have a nerdy side.

I think it's awesome to see more people embracing nerd culture. After all, it's not much different than being passionate about a sports team. Both fans dress up, show up, and even yell at the TV when something bad happens.
