Here in Indiana, we also have a lot of places full of southern hospitality. These places are full of residents who show kindness and warmth and are welcoming of visitors to their homes or towns. However, rude people are everywhere; let's be honest. You tend to find more of them in bigger cities because everything is more fast-paced, people are in a hurry, and tend to only look out for themselves.
