This is the ‘Laziest City’ in Indiana and Kentucky

We all have our moments where we just want to be lazy, and that's okay. However, the laziest city in Indiana and Kentucky has those moments more than any other city in the state, according to data.

You work hard all week and by the time the weekend comes, sometimes you just want to sit back and not do anything. There's absolutely nothing wrong with being a little lazy from time to time. It can become a problem though, when all you do is nothing. Nobody wants to be defined as "lazy"...at least I don't think they do. However, I'm sure we all know somebody who is like that. That's when being lazy really becomes unhealthy.
