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.

We're proud to call it home.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
