I began posting on Twitter as a way to reach the people of Northwest Indiana. I don't know if Mastodon will work for the same purpose or not.

If you can see this poll, are you from Northwest Indiana or interested in the Region?

😬 I can't comment on the quality of their BBQ, but I don't patronize Mission BBQ because the founder/owner is a massive asshole . He's facing a felony for using the Mission BBQ "truck" to impersonate a police officer and pull people over (see image). In the past he's also pulled people over and pretended to be a police officer using his personal vehicle with flashing lights.

@brianpowell @pollak

Thanks for sharing this. @bellmore and I will be driving through NW IN frequently now that he’s moving to the Grand Rapids Area. We both typically stop for lunch/gas in Northern IN on the drive to each other’s houses.

@ProdigalHoosier @brianpowell @bellmore Ooh, I can give you lots of recommendations for restaurants along the last ~10 miles or so of I65 as you go north. Can even meet for lunch sometime if you want!
