What I think about Fort Wayne Indiana

[@LivingInFortWayne]

Everything thing you said is 100 accurate. Although I do live in FW, I'm not applauding this video just b/c I'm a fan. In the Rust belt, FW has done a good job of turning around many communities and the economy.

[@thewall014]

Everything he said is not accurate. This city was not built in 1974 😬🤔👀🤷‍♂️

[@lindawolffkashmir2768]

It does get cold during the winter here, but it’s not too horrible. If it does snow, there’s only a few times during the winter that we get more than four inches. The main problem during the winter is the lack of sunshine. Some of the dreary days can drag on. The summers are really nice though. Most areas of the city are pretty decent, lots of affordable housing. Lots of parks, festivals, trails to walk or bike, river access for canoes and kayaks, and even some minor league sports teams. It’s not a bad place to live, but some people do find it a little boring, especially if they come from a larger city. Downtown has really improved over the last ten years or so. There are plenty of decent restaurants and a large indoor mall, also some museums and a zoo to check out.

Did several videos on Ft. Wayne on my channel including the street tours. Will be headed there in July again to visit a friend. Been there 3 times already. Ft. Wayne is a smaller town but it is one the more affordable cities in the midwest. There are rough areas in Ft. Wayne just as you would have in any urban city. Crime is not that big of an issue in Ft. Wayne as it would be in Indianapolis or Chicago where I'm from. The best areas to live in Ft. Wayne would probably be areas surrounding Northwest Ft. Wayne or the southwest area. Depending on your preference. Hunterstown and Garrett up north are very rural and countrylike.

[@bakert7000]

I have driven on a lot of those streets. They are the main streets through Fort Wayne. The Pier I has closed down. The bridge between Ivy Tech and Purdue Fort Wayne also looks better. It is a pretty nice city. I moved away and moving back. I was only an hour away but I have more friends there.

[@dougms9790]

Born and raised in Ft Wayne. Left when I was 18 to join the Navy. Never moved back. All I remember is the winters, 6 months of grey sky, never see the sun, like you see in this video, too depressing for me.

[@blqr3138]

Good vid .. clear and concise info ..thank you

[@funoh1]

My kind of city. Not too big, low cost of living, relatively low crime for a city that big, good amenities. I don't like snow, then again I don't like hot weather either. I guess you got to pick the side(hot vs. cold) that you are more willing to deal with when it comes to weather. It seems like this city has more wind than average, too.

[@Fenrirmaster30]

Word of advice to everyone, stay off of Coliseum Blvd at all costs, especially near holidays if you can manage! It's the worst traffic in all of Fort Wayne!

[@xtusvincit5230]

Fort Wayne does get snow, but it's not a harsh winter here. There will be cold weeks for sure and some snowy ones, but the average winter daily high temperature is 31 degrees. For winter, that is pretty liveable. Most winter days have little to no snow on the ground.

[@povertyspec9651]

I was brought up in the Fort Wayne area and many winters were brutal.

[@xtusvincit5230]

@@povertyspec9651 I have been here for some brutal winters since 1989. Yes, we have them, but they are not the norm. They stand out in the memory because they are extreme. I have also experienced quite a few very mild winters here. On average, we will have a few snow storms, but rarely does the snow last more than 10 days.

[@TamaraChaos]

Aw man, no mention of King Gyros in a Ft. Wayne viddy??? Grey skies, flat, 3 hours to a decent airport. Great carp fishing though in those three rivers.

Pretty nice video. What in the world did Toledo do to you? Haha.. That was pretty funny. Fort wayne is a great place to live, excluding the occasional harsh winter's. Their's always a new building popping up downtown or in the surrounding area. You have to respect that.

[@andrewslife1979]

I just had some bad experiences when I lived in Toledo

[@Oden-Heinrich]

@Andrew's Life I understand you. Do you feel Toledo is more "Dangerous" than Ft Wayne? Fort Wayne would benefit greatly crime wise if they'd get the greater McMillan Park area under control..

@@andrewslife1979 I understand completely. The last thing we want viewers to see is our city at less than its full beauty and vibrancy. It's like damning a thing with faint praise.

If you want to look at crime more closely. You`ll find that most crime can be located in a small area of the city. In Fort Wayne that area would be the Southeast side.

Roads are trash. Nothing but traffic lights; barely any sidewalks; barely any bike lanes. Fort Wayne has a poorly located beltway which for the most part is too far away so that it only gets truck traffic bypassing the city.

[@xtusvincit5230]

Yes, there are lights, but there is no heavy traffic in the city. Ive never been in a traffic jam here! There arent so many bike lanes, but there are ample greenways with bike trails. They are safer than bike lanes and far more enjoyable.

[@povertyspec9651]

@@xtusvincit5230 Yes, those are fine but they do not get cyclists to destinations, such as the ability to ride to work. Serious cyclists want bike lanes. Trails are glorified sidewalks which force cyclists to dodge pedestrians constantly and stop over and over again for street crossings.
