We are asking folks in Muncie about their lives and places in 2025 through a series of prompts and

participatory experiences at our community sessions.  

We ask: 

When someone asks about life in Muncie, what do you tell them?

What is a good life in your place?

What allows you to live this life? What is standing in your way?

What are the questions that will help researchers understand you and your community?

What images would you use to represent life in Muncie?

What do you want to see this project produce?

What do you wish people knew about Muncie, but don’t?

What do you think, hope, or worry about happening to Muncie, 100 years from now?

Go on the record.

Answer any one of these Muncie prompts (or as many as you would like) in a blog post about life in Muncie from where you stand, in 2025. We'll share, in your own words. 

For former Muncie residents who've moved away:

What do you miss the most about Muncie? 

And/or... What don't you miss?
