Your hometown is a place you have to leave to appreciate. With break coming to an end, you quickly realize how long it will be until you're back. It suddenly hits you; the things you will miss the most about this place you call home.
1. Avanti's Ranch Dressing
We have all been guilty of dipping almost everything in it when we're there.
2. Pub Wednesday
Cheap fun. Some of the best nights are Wednesday nights.
3. State Farm Park
The greatest perk of living in Bloomington-Normal during the summertime. The lazy river is the main attraction.
4. Downtown Bloomington
One of the oldest, prettiest areas in our town. It has many local shops and a cute coffeehouse. Also hosts the farmers market every year!
5. Rosie's Pub
You have to try their creme brûlée.
6. Carl's Ice Cream
The only ice cream shop in town where you can get eyeballs on your ice cream.
7. Illinois State University
The place that made you want to go to a big school just like it. It allowed for a lot of entertainment from football games to the Gamma Phi circus.
8. Uptown Normal
One of the best places in town. There are so many things to do all year.
9. Fairview
The place to be for fireworks on the fourth.
10. Pub II Cheese Curds
If you haven't had them, you're not a true townie.
11. The people
They will be some of the greatest people you will ever meet.
