[quote=Anonymous]Wow, OP. Do you ever lack imagination.

I grew up in Farmland, Indiana. Google it. Population about 1,500; one stop light and two stop signs.

After we’ve exhausted the one thing there is to do in my hometown, and quiet things at my parents’ home, we’re off on small 30- or 60-minute drives. In about an hour, I can take my kids to the world-class Indianapolis Children’s Museum. In 20 minutes, I can take them to an Amish market. In 30 minutes, we could be in Anderson, Indiana, at the historic Paramount Theater, taking in the frescoed ceiling and going to the Festival of Trees. Or at Mounds State Park, the Native American museum and burial ground.

OR, we can resign ourselves to Farmland Living, and simply take walks or go into the local Dollar Tree or Wal-Mart. We can go to the library, or a playground.

Boring people are bored. If I can make do of fun things to do with Farmland, Indiana as my central location, I assure you you can find some sort of way to entertain yourself. Go to a movie, FFS. [/quote]
