13 Signs You're From Avon, Indiana

The town of Avon, Indiana is known for being the rival of many surrounding schools. It's grown from a little town to a big town in a short amount of time. We all know how we feel about driving down Rockville Road in the middle of the day. Here are 14 signs you're from the great town of Avon, Indiana.

1. You know and love Frostbite.

Cold Stone and Orange Leaf are great and everything, but nothing really compares to the town ice cream shop. We've all been there a time or to sitting under those blue umbrellas.

2. Purdue or IU? That is the question.

It seems like half of the high school goes to Purdue and half the high school goes to IU. The rivalry will forever live on.

3. Construction on construction.

If you've drove through Avon recently, you know how much construction is taking place. One lane roads for days.

4. We are Ben Strong.

Whether you are an alumni of Avon or a current student..we are all Ben Strong.

5. Even though we aren't from Plainfield, we've taken a trip out to Graffiti Road.

6. AJAA High School Basketball is a serious matter.

If you thought high school basketball was serious..wait until you get to AJAA high school basketball. This is where the true talent comes to shine.

7. Our marching band is one of the best.

The Avon High School Marching Band placed first in the Bands Of America Grand National Championships two years in a row.

8. You know at least one person who lives in Prestwick, Timerbend, or Bridgewater.

We all have a friend that lives in one of these neighborhoods. It seems like half of the school system lived in one of these.

9. Avon Lip dub.

The students of Avon High School created a lip dub to raise awareness about the importance of prenatal care this year. If you're from Avon, you are proud to be apart of a town who can put together something like this.

10. La Hacienda is the place to go.

If you're from Avon you know this is the place to be. Amazing food and even better food.

11. Everywhere you look it seems there's a new school popping up out of nowhere.

Avon is home to 11 schools, and everywhere you look there is a new one going up. Our little town is growing into a big one right before our eyes.

12. Home to the Haunted Bridge.

We're not really sure if it's actually haunted or not, but rumor has it is.

13. Rave Motion Pictures (now Carmike Cinemas) was always a weekend go to.

You'd rather take a trip out to Plainfield than to drive down Rockville Road to see the newest movies. It may have been a longer drive, but we always seemed to make our way out to the mall for a movie instead.

The Unwritten Rules Of "Talking"

What is "talking?" How does one "talk?"

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
