Greensburg, Indiana is the definition of small town, USA. We are 12,000 people strong and take pride in the tree in our courthouse and our pork tenderloin sandwiches. Here are 10 signs you grew up in "The Burg".

1. You love people's reactions when you tell them your courthouse has a tree in it.

It's what we're known for and people often drive through Greensburg just to take pictures of it. We are also nicknamed the "Tree City".

2. El Reparo is your go-to restaurant when you come home.

We may not have a lot of food options in Greensburg, but when you are in the mood for food, El Rep is the top choice.

3. BASKETBALL BASKETBALL BASKETBALL


During the winter months, you can find a sea of blue and white packing the high school gym to support our Pirates. Some of your favorite high school memories were in the cheer block or the pep band with your friends.

4. You spent many summers at the athletic complex.

Playing softball and baseball also brought our town and county together. You met many of your friends when you were younger here, whether you went to Greensburg, North Decatur, or South Decatur.

5. We "breathe"


If you're from Greensburg reading this, you know what it means. If not, you're probably thinking "well of course they breathe". Whenever we play our rival Batesville, we often call the week before "Batesville Week". We strategically pick our cheer block themes and people trash talk on social media. "Breathe if you hate Batesville" has been a motto at Greensburg for many years.

6. When there's nothing to do, you just drive around town.


"Hey do you just want to drive around" is a text you have probably sent once or twice in your lifetime. Whether this is driving around in the country or driving to Wal-Mart, this is what you do when you're bored.

7. Storie's Pie and tenderloins. Enough said.

Storie's is a restaurant that has been a landmark in Greensburg for years. The pork tenderloin sandwich is the most popular item on the menu. No meal is complete without pie!

8. The high light of the summer is when the Super Twist trailer appears again.

After school, your friends or sports teams head to Super Twist to get ice cream. The summer isn't complete without at least one blue goo or pineapple whip.

9. You met some of your best friends in our small town.


We all go different places in our lives, but it's comforting when you get to see your friends from high school and you pick up right where you left off. The people in your hometown are some of the best people you will ever meet.

10. You say you hate it, but deep down a little piece of you will always be in Greensburg.

Miles may separate you, but The Burg will always hold a place in your heart. The cornfields and your family will always welcome you home, no matter how long you have been gone.

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.

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.
