A Great Community with Smiling Faces 3 rating By Anonymous ( May 23, 2018) I am living in Wabash, Indiana and have my entire life. This is a tiny town that I live in and there are very few jobs actually here in town. Many of us travel to Kokomo to work in one of the car manufacturing facilities, but the commute down isn’t bad. This also means that you ...Read More can easily find a job within driving distance of this town.

Even though this town is tiny, it is still mighty. The best areas in Wabash, Indiana are the historic Eagles Theatre, the Wabash Canal, and a seasonal classic root-beer stand that still offers car-side service during the months it is open. There is also a quaint downtown area that is a nice area to stroll through.

The people here are so friendly and everyone seriously knows everyone. Most of us here are members of families that have lived here forever. You will always find a smiling face and there will always be someone to help you out if you are in need. Read Less
