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.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
