I enjoy all the parks and walking areas, I also enjoying going out on the lake were you can rent kayaks! I can go to the dog park, we have three, I can also go to bars if I wanted. Although it is all spread out and creates a lot of driving time wherever you decide to go. There are also endless places to eat, and then at the end of the day you could go see a comedy club with your friends. I also know there is a studio were you can get pole dancing lessons as well as plenty of gyms pools and two YMCA's!
Bloomington is a beautiful, bustling town. With plenty to find interest in, from sports, the arts, food, and of course the beautiful IU campus, there's a beautiful variety of things to do that other places in Indiana do not have. One major downfall is Bloomington's homeless population and the severe lack of efforts to alleviate their situations. Around town there are several forms of anti-homeless architecture, and very few establishments that offer shelter, food, healthcare and other necessities to them. It is a heartbreaking reality check that lies beneath Bloomington's otherwise whimsical atmosphere.
Bloomington is a unique little town. With IU being the main attraction there is a lot of school activities that go on and a lot of night life. There are so many good restaurants so you will not go hungry! There are farmers markets, malls, local shops and anything your heart desires. You can not be bored here.
