I flew into Fort Wayne for the first time about 4 weeks ago and I love small airports and it's Clean. I was looking up in Angola at a house to relocate but I'm looking at Fort Wayne now too it was very Friendly out there and tax wise it seems pretty good. I want to be just out of the City with ten acres or so just want some land around Me, I'm tired of being inside the city but close enough to it for Health Care.

[@LivingInFortWayne]

The airport is shockingly clean and nice. 100% agree. If they could add a nice restaurant, that’s my only suggestion

[@BO1980ful]

Thank you for your videos. We are moving to Fort Wayne and will be contacting you soon. We appreciate all the information on your KZbin channel.

[@LivingInFortWayne]

I’m glad the information was helpful. We’re just trying our best

[@macalcord]

Our Amish Communities are amazing..One thing we try to do once or twice a month is go shopping at Troyers Market...Amazing deals on fresh and frozen meats..where I can go and stock up on bulk spices for less than half of what I would spend at a major store..And my god Amish Cheese is heavenly especially their Hot Pepper Cheeses.

[@MB-fk5mg]

Where is the market located?

[@SirT80]

Smart and courteous drivers are always a plus! I’m interested in Fort Wayne and will have to visit soon

[@LivingInFortWayne]

That’s been our observation but it can get dicey during the Winter. 🥶 Just like anywhere else.

[@Eliisbroke]

Great video! I'd add that almost everything can be accessed from 6 main roads: Coliseum, Maplecrest, Lima, Dupont, Jefferson, State

[@LivingInFortWayne]

100% I don’t think you can get around FW w/o one or two of those roads!

[@mickeystine3100]

I live here and live in a Apartment complex. It's getting very high priced to live in them. House rental is way up too. 😩😩😩

[@LivingInFortWayne]

Certainly has changed the affordability of the city!

[@sherellbell926]

Well I am moving to Fort Wayne from the Chicago area. I’m scared cause it’s just me and my daughter. I need a change. Lucky my job is there so I will have a job. Just don’t know anyone.

kzbin.infoUgkxD9ghk775ppJXkpJIKqNlY8H3sxJBbAzv Moving to a place w/o family and friends is hard. Knowe did it in the military and now we’re a family and it was tough on our child at first. I would love to speak w/ you, not to buy a house, just to answer any questions you may have. [e-mail] Welcome to the Summit City and safe travels

[@thesoulofmemories]

You really think people need you guys if they want to move to FW? You are not saying here anything special so if KZbin would not pay you guys for the views and subscribers than you would probably not care about folks that want to move to Fort Wayne. Don’t tell me I am wrong here. 🤣

[@LivingInFortWayne]

Well I appreciate your thoughts. Except we don’t get paid by YT. In our free time, we decided to make videos to help ppl that have never heard of FW, like us. And people sometimes do need help. Ex. We’ve helped two retirees, one from AZ, another from Utah, and 3rd family decided to move to Bloomington instead and they were appreciative. To each there own though. It’s just information, thanks again for the comment. This helps us create content that people really want to see!

[@thesoulofmemories]

@@LivingInFortWayne whatever you say sir. Does not mean you care. Unless you help them with ZERO profit for yourself.

[@LivingInFortWayne]

@@thesoulofmemories Franki and I read your comment several times and it really made us realize some people may view our videos as “not” helpful . Maybe we shouldn’t do these videos or maybe we should change how we present the information? We welcome all feedback; comments like these are helpful to us…and it’s free.

[@thesoulofmemories]

@@LivingInFortWayne guys, no offense. You do whatever you like as this is a social platform. Sometimes it’s ok to read some critics about your videos but that does not mean you need to change anything. It’s your life and your choice. Enjoy the rest of your Sunday. We are moving to Fort Wayne from AZ in 4 days and can’t wait to be out of the nasty dry area.

[@LivingInFortWayne]

@@thesoulofmemories Aw man, I was stationed in Fort Huachuca in 04, (Sierra Vista) I do not miss the dry heat. Enjoy your Sunday, have a safe trip!
