    Its also the tester state. By this I mean companies use our area to test everything on earth before they farm it out to the rest of the country. My favorite as a kid is the KenTacoHut. Thats the building that houses a Kentucky fried chicken, taco bell, and pizza hut in one building. It was the big hang out in middle school and beginning of high school. I have now seen two combined in locations through out the country but never seen all three combined anywhere else.
    L. Jane, I always heard the same thing (about accents) about my home town. Now I'm wondering where you're from!

        Not Indiana, but I guess the "accent" could be contributed to a "midwest" accent.

          You can probably figure it out from my signature and picture.

                  Yep def a southern thing. My grandma once told. "Bless her heart, she doesn't know how ugly she is" about a lady in the grocery store.

                    I think Chicagoans have the most awful accent! It's so harsh and nasal.

                      Haha that's how I feel about some Ohio accents!!!

                      Given, the county I grew up in (in WI) has such a distinguishable accent, that anybody that's been there knows exactly where it came from. Luckily, I my parents refused to let me speak like they do! So I guess I shouldn't judge...but I don't think Chicagoans have accents!

                      I think it's all what you're used to!
                      I'm just trying to make it out alive!
