Things to Love about The Ohio River Valley

1. Allergies

Alright, we don't exactly 'love' this part of living here. Especially that lovely time in spring when the flowers are blooming, rain is common, and we sneeze every five minutes.

2. UK vs. IU

Yeah, the universities might not have a rivalry, but you can bet your last dollar everyone else does. This made up rivalry will destroy friendships, families, and couches.


3. Corn

You probably have to drive past a few cornfields to get where you're headed.


4. The Ohio River


It is a huge part of our favorite past times, though we probably shouldn't swim in it. Who really knows what goes on in that river? It's mucky and you have probably never see the bottom. Don't risk it.


5. Big Red

This drink is only available in the River Valley, which you probably didn't know until you tried to get it somewhere else and were sadly disappointed.


6. Donut Bank

Serving the best donuts in the 'toe' of Indiana since 1967.


7. The correct pronunciation of Louisville

You probably get very defensive when someone mispronounces it, too. Basically you pronounce the L and V and throw in some sounds in between them.

8. Limited drink options

Hospitality is very important when having guests over. Although, usually when offering drinks to guests the only options are sweet tea, Mountain Dew, or Bud Light.

9. Fishing

Unless you live close enough to Louisville or Evansville, you don't have too many choices when it comes to a romantic evening. Fishing works just fine. Bonus: you catch yourselves dinner too.

Toilet Troubles

"So, usually I would never go on a Tinder date but when you are out with girlfriends and a hot Bosnian guy says he wants to hang with you and his friends, you oblige. We head to their apartment and when I realized I may pee my pants if I don't find a bathroom soon. I ask for the bathroom and a friend of my tinder date shows me to it and said in all seriousness that I was not allowed to flush the toilet under ANY circumstances. Having a few drinks--or five--I relieved myself to, nevertheless, flush the toilet. Within seconds, his bathroom was flooded and towels were laid out everywhere to catch the toilet water. To say the least, we were not invited back"
