South Bend, Indiana, and the University of Notre Dame are inexorably linked, but you would be mistaken to assume the home of the "Golden Dome" is all this city has to offer. In fact, there's more to South Bend than South Bend. The region nicknamed "The Bend" encompasses Mishawaka and other towns following a curve in the St. Joseph River as it dips south of the Michigan state line. Just 94 miles from downtown Chicago, "The Bend" has plenty to amuse visitors on its own or as an add-on to a campus outing.
