from Bloomington, IN. Love the town. No interstate highway, just State Roads to get you there. No local news cast either. Great natural foods/organic selections as well with two Sahara Marts and a few Bloomingfoods stores. However, we dont care much for IU sports, as our family are Purdue fans, because in the State of Indiana, you either like Purdue or IU. The top-northern half is mostly Purdue fans, while the southern-lower half likes IU.
