Tab Dis Ignites Hoosier Blogosphere

A furor has erupted across the Hoosier blogosphere, over some not-so-complimentary comments by a New York City tabloid reporter. In his New York Daily News column and blog, Matt Lysiac wrote that being a tourist in Hoosierland was about as exciting as watching corn grow. The rude East Coaster complained that there was nothing to do in Indy for the tourist, beyond Starbucks and cow tipping.

Apparently things are tough in the big city, because the Big Apple tab hack felt compelled to detail just how much better NYC is as a tourist destination. Duh. It is the #1 Tourist Destination in the country.

However, the obvious slight has hit a sensitve local nerve. Indy Social has heard and seen plenty of chatter today from the likes of Indy Star columnist Cathy Kightlinger who have a thing or two to say in defense of the Circle City.

What do you think?
