ABOUT FRANKLIN
Only twenty minutes south of Indianapolis lies Franklin, Indiana. Sometimes described as a sleepy suburb, Franklin describes itself as an "exciting blend of tradition and innovation with a rich history dating back to its founding in 1822." We don't know what it was like in 1822, but that describes no sleepy suburb. But it's a pretty decent description of today's Franklin.
As the county seat of Johnson County, with a population of roughly 22,000, Franklin has one of those traditional Midwest downtowns, a main street loaded with locally-owned shops, coffeehouses and restaurants. (Right in the middle of town - one the square - you'll find 
Carpenter's office!) Also downtown is Franklin College, one of the oldest institutions of higher education in Indiana. Just beyond downtown, if you enjoy that old-timey feel, you'll love the Century-old Victorian mansions that line King and Jefferson streets. If you're more into doing than watching, you can find many trails providing opportunity for a quiet walk or a scenic jog.
The average home value in Franklin is under $130,000 (that's affordable) and the cost of living in town is well under the national average.
Beyond that tradition, Franklin is also home to a state-of-the-art high school, some decent night life (it is a college town, after all) and nonprofit groups that work hard to advance every Franklinian's quality of life. Also, the city's pro-business attitude and strategic location have attracted companies from all over the world, including five Japanese corporations.
