Come get plugged into Muncie and all the amenities that come with being the home of Ball State University.

Muncie Magic. You’ll hear this from long-term residents to new arrivals - there’s just something special about Muncie, Indiana. We certainly felt this when we were in town.

Here’s what we’re loving about Muncie:

 - Mike Martin - a musician and community-minded guy, started the Common Market after playing in one just like it in Charlotte, NC (he was told to set up in front of the milk because most people aren't shopping for that at night lol). He knew a space like this could work in Muncie, and it does. It’s a bodega, an arts collective, a food bank, a hang out spot, and community idea incubator with a farm down the block. If you’re looking for interesting folks, some GREAT nitro coffee, flatbread pizza - look no further than the Common Market.

 - This school has so much to offer its students and the residents of Muncie. Sports, theater, art, recreation, invited lectures, and more. As part of Muncie’s package, you’ll get access to the rec center!

 to cute new shops and bakeries, downtown Muncie is walkable, accessible, and fun. Check out Sea Salt and Cinnamon. They send their stuff all over Indiana (I like to pick up their salads at a local coffee shop in Indy!), but their home base is in downtown Muncie!

Hoosier Hospitality can be found around every corner in Muncie, Indiana. Located just over an hour northeast of Indianapolis, Muncie possesses a small town college vibe without forgoing big city amenities. Home to Ball State University, the city features arts and entertainment attractions, sporting events, and unique neighborhoods that offer plenty for the whole family - or just a night out with friends.

“It’s just knowing that if we go out of town, I can run next door and ask our neighbor to keep an eye on our house and pick up our mail. We never made those connections in Dallas. That’s something that we really missed — having that sense of community.”

The Human Library is a unique event in which humans are "books" and readers are people who check out a book for a conversation. Started in Denmark, we are proud to have the most active Human Library "Depot" in the US! 

"Books" are people considered to be marginalized by mainstream society and their titles include "Buddhist", "Survivor of Abuse", "Survivor of Sex Trafficking", "Transgender", "Raised in Foster Care", Child of Deaf Adults" and so much more. There are "Reading Garden" events as well as corporate events, and events at social organizations and community events. 

The Human Library tagline is "Unjudge Someone" and that is the intention - to have a conversation with someone you may not otherwise meet or have the opportunity to get to know and to learn about the commonalities we all share as humans.

Today I’m heading to the Munich to Muncie event! It’s Muncie’s version of Oktoberfest but with an awesome twist! Proceeds benefit a local charity that rehabs houses around the city while also training youth for jobs in construction. It’s finally fall and I’m excited for all the fall activities around Muncie!!

Upon hosting, IRONMAN Indiana, Muncie Mayor Dan Ridenour wanted to document what hosting such a global event means for the City of Muncie.

These incredible communities are welcoming remote workers, teachers, nurses and more with incentives and networking programs.
