Beebs articulated what I was trying to say about Broad Ripple far better than I did. Broad Ripple's attractiveness is relative to the rest of Indiana. It ain't half bad when you consider the amount of attractive women that live in and around the neighborhood, how late the bars stay open, the (relatively) great selection of ethnic restaurants and craft breweries, and how cheap everything is. The Lincoln Parks and Marina Districts and Georgetowns are all awesome neighborhoods within larger cities, and I would enjoy living in every single one, but I've found most people that live in these trendy big-city neighborhoods tend to limit themselves to the same bars, grocery stores, restaurants - essentially a geographic area the size of Broad Ripple - anyways, and spend a ton of money doing it.
Just my opinion, and I say all this without ever having lived in a trendy big-city neighborhood....
