So I went to Urban Dictionary to see what they had to say about our great city.  Turns out the two definitions I found were very opposite...

*WARNING* There is some slight strong language in this post

The first one:

The county seat of Vanderburgh Co. and largest city in city in southern Indiana, as well as the third largest metropolitan city in the state of Indiana. This considerably big city is home to a local pop (carbonated beverage) manufacturing company known as RC Cola. It is also the headquarters of Old National Bank and one of the regional headquarters for Fifth-Third Bank. Girls here are beautiful, the healthcare is great, and the crime rates are low. People are usually quite hospitable and the skyline is rather impressive when you consider the population of this big town. It's strategic location on a horseshoe bend along the Ohio River makes it a great economic and industrial river port that hauls in and casts off tons of barges with hot commodities like coal each year from its busy docks. The City of Evansville is the metropolitan "capital" for a tri-state area that includes southern Illinois, northwestern Kentucky, and southern Indiana. It is a fun and great place to visit with many various places to shop and an awesome mall. Evansville also has a very rich German heritage.
Evansville kicks a** and is accessible to over half of the United States' population in at most a one day-long drive.
Alright, I'll take that one, I like that! But then I saw this one below it:

evansville

it sucks a**
haha come to evansville its fun for 30 minutes then its dumb
That second one was clearly written by a scholar.  I do have to admit I did laugh out loud at it though, even though I think it's wayyyy off!
I've said it before and I'll say it again, I think Evansville is genuinely a great place to live, and right now Evansville is growing and really turning into something great! I love how many local businesses are thriving here, and most people seem to be very supportive of the movement to shop local.  I think we've got a great thing going, and if you think Evansville is "miserable" then I think you just aren't trying looking hard enough for the great things Evansville has because they're everywhere!
What do YOU think?  How would you define Evansville?
