The place

Joined 1816 · 19th state · Eastern, northwest Central time

Indiana is a farm state with a manufacturing spine, small towns organised around a courthouse square and a basketball gym that seats more people than live in the town. It sits at a crossroads and says so on the licence plates. The Indy 500 is the largest single day sporting event anywhere, and for one weekend the state is the centre of the world. Go for the dunes on Lake Michigan, which are a national park now, and for Columbus, a small city that spent decades hiring famous architects.

The Indy 500 is the largest single-day sporting event anywhere.
