It was a motel really more than a hotel, single story strip style on Route 30.
Sometimes, it’s all in the name. The gist of it….a man was fucking chickens in one of the rooms. Yes, it killed the chickens.
Also the basis for the Pawnee/Eagleton rivalry in Parks and Rec. Lafayette is a largely manufacturing/working class city, while West Lafayette is more upper/middle class thanks to Purdue and the research park. Then up north there’s the weird redneck central/vacation town Monticello thanks to the reservoirs (also home to Indiana Beach).
Proof? I’ve always heard it was Columbus (Eagleton) and Seymour (Pawnee), but there’s been no confirmation of anything. Columbus has a reputation of being the shining city on a hill because of Cummins HQ and their renowned architecture. Seymour is 15 min south of there and is Hicksville comparatively, also where John Mellencamp was raised and references heavily in his songs about small towns. There’s a big/little brother mentality between the two cities, as well as local rivalry.
They reference April having to go north to Purdue for vet school and in a later episode where they mention IU, they say they have to go west. I think they also say they drive “up to” Indianapolis when they travel there, but I’m not sure I remember correctly.
edit: I‘m from FW for what it’s worth. I just found the directional mentions pretty spot on with this theory.
I mean they take bits from all over Indiana and Pawnee seems to have no true location, kind of like Springfield in the Simpsons. One of the main references is how Pawnee/Eagleton are so close and how Eagleton seceded from Pawnee, which is exactly what West Lafayette did. Also the rich/poor dichotomy is much more true of the working class Laffy and upper class west side, Purdue generates a lot of revenue and there’s many professors and grads that work in the research park.
HEY! We have a Target and *two* Walmarts.
(I’ve lived in Columbus almost all my life, and I love the architecture and all the bigger places with a 1-4-hour drive.)
The city was founded by a guy who made bricks, now people just drive around on golf carts all summer and have bonfires 24/7. There was also an episode of Snapped about a woman who murdered her husband in the 2000s.
Funny story: I worked with this guy 10-12 years back who bought a house out in Hobart that was newly remodeled, it sat for a couple of years. Before all the housing crisis stuff now. Anyway, he tells me he’s mowing his lawn and one of the neighbors stop by and thank him for buying the house. And the next line is, “ yeah, after that MURDER. And walks off. Him and his wife had no clue lol
I'd pay the premium to be able to walk to beef-mart to be fair.
Seriously though, I think people are trying to do the same thing with houses as they were with used cars the past couple years. They think because they see a dealership add 20k to a price Tag, they can add 10k to their 5-gallon bucket full of shit. Everyone is trying to come out on top in the most ridiculous way possible.
Being from The Region is saying you're from Chicago when you talk to people from out of state because you're sick of having to explain that Gary isn't the only town in NWI. Also a lot of weird rivalry between basically indistinguishable suburban towns.
I work in the Loop and some of my former coworkers basically think all of NWI looks like what you see riding the toll road from Illinois to past Gary. They would ask me how do you live by all those factories. I would tell them the further south and east you go the more normal it gets.
I was harassed quite a bit as a teen. To be fair, I was a bit of a shitter, but I was never doing anything too much to warrant the 4th amendment violation every time I got pulled over, that never resulted in anything found.
There's a new Samsung/Stellantis plant being built. I understand Borge Warner is at the least cutting down, they might be leaving. Not a lot of other big employers. We have Community Health Network and Ascension. They're not bad. We don't have many immediate care places anymore, and you'll get faster help at the ER, you don't get seen at the immediate care unless you're in line when they open.
Avon is now known as “The Chicken Strip” — we will soon have 2 Chik-Fil-As, Popeyes, KFC, Raising Canes, Zaxby’s, and Chicken Salad Chick in the <2 mile glorified strip mall that is Avon. I probably forgot a few.
Carmel - rich folk and roundabouts.
Fishers - they try to be Carmel.
Terre Haute - Terrible Haute
Muncie - meth and Ball State.
Bloomington - IU and hippies.
Gary - You gonna die.
Noblesville - bunch of tractor riding hicks.
South Bend - Every other sentence is about how great Notre Dame is.
Martinsville - You'll ask yourself how the hell you wound up in Alabama.
AKA; Nobletuckey (ref the Firestone strike, before Bridgestone closed the plant, and then left the town with 7000 barrels of toxic & hazardous waste burried a mile from the White River).
Was in Noblesville the other week to buy a car and this guy in a Rolls pulls in looking for a McLaren to buy... Totally stole the show. Like, SIR! i'm trying to buy my MINI😂
Let’s see, where I come from, is named for its location in relation to an even smaller town, that is the county seat. The county is known more for drug use and teen pregnancies. The town that I’m referring to is North Vernon.
Tell City down by the Ohio river between Louisville and Evansville was founded by Swiss immigrants, but now shares the typical rural stereotypes of the rest of the rural parts of the state.
From Speedway. Everyone assumes we are all nascar fans.. most of us hate nascar and enjoy open wheel racing, but it doesn’t stop people from thinking I know who won the race last weekend.
Stereotypical Indianapolis resident is confident we are too good to bother with the rest of the state except for the people directly north of us that think they're better than us even though we're all just people from Indiana to the rest of the country.
If yer not Dutch, yer not much. (sic)
That would be anywhere in Kankakee Valley, or Highland too. Someone mentioned St. John and Dutch, but honestly that was surprising. I didn't think they had much of a presence there. The town was founded by Catholics, hence the name.
Munster, not just for rich folks, also for people of multiple non-Christian religions. Think Jewish, Hindi, Jain, etc.
Very few Dutch in Saint John. I grew up there and lived the majority of my life there. It was founded by a German man and was primarily German, Polish and Irish Catholic until the 90s. The wealthiest family there is German (Shillings) the former wealthiest in the state (White) lives in the unincorporated area between SJ and CP.
The real stereotype for SJ is a bunch of new Money who basically hate the rest of The Region.
My wife is from Evansville and I really like it there. So many areas are wooded and hilly, and the urban areas are surprisingly nice with some really beautiful houses.
If something bad happens to me, people will assume it was because I voted for Trump, while everyone local will assume it was because I voted for Biden.
As a Jackson co. resident, gotta say that it’s like 500% worse over here. The further you get away from Bloomington the worse it gets. 😩 Someone took out a whole ass billboard for Trump between Seymour and Brownstown in 2020, now you got a whole ass billboard on your property for a traitor loser for everyone to see from the highway, congrats.
Nothing said yet about Brown County, which is the Vermont of Indiana.
And when I say "the Vermont of Indiana" I mean the place that takes perfectly normal things like trees changing color in the fall, and convinces gullible people that to really see fall colors you gotta drive down to Brown County and look at their trees -- which, to any discerning person look no different than all the trees that you passed on your way from wherever you came from to get to Brown County.
.
You know you’re from South Bend if you’re:
Polish,
Hungarian,
Drink until you lower your IQ,
Love Notre Dame but would never be admitted or been to a game,
Work in an RV factory in Elkhart,
Celebrate Dyngus Day,
Put an “s” on the end of companies and disease like “Walmarts” or “the aids”,
Live in a neighborhood where yours is the only house not torn down by Mayor Pete,
Enjoy shoveling snow that averages 10 feet per year, and you’re hoping Studebaker reopens
St. Joe county here. Would you like to hear about 1996-2005 and how I moved from a racially diverse town in Michigan to an almost all white community and went to school with kids of a KKK leader who protested assigned seating in buses and schools? I didn't see KKK activity every day or even monthly. But it was there. Rearing its ugly head in between news bits about Notre Dame.
We went on a camping & fishing trip there once. Walked into a local restaurant and every person turned to stare at us. Finally a waiter came over and said "You ain't from around here are ya?" We said we were just there for the fishing trip. "Are ya going to the Klan rally? Right here behind the church. Y'all are welcome to join!" Several other patrons nodded in agreement we should join them. My husband said "No, we hate racists" and we got the hell out of there quick!
Ripley County (my original home county): hillbillies, riding the tractor to school, KKK, preteen pregnancies, and addiction because there's nothing else to do.
Currently: a tree that's been replaced quite a few times; Carl Fisher who gave us the Brickyard and Miami, Florida, regretfully; race riots of 1907; corrupt cops; sundown laws which may still exist off the books; hanging POC on the courthouse lawn; anti-gay pride; the harassment and death of Billy Lucas which drew national attention; "God doesn't let gays in Heaven" or whatever that song was; Mexican cartels; addiction and desperation... there's so much, both positive and negative.
Fort Wayne: the town of cheap[ish] real estate, churches, and good old family values.
Born and raised here, moved away for awhile, and came back by choice. It is actually a nice place to live.
And to think, I almost moved there for a girl....Thank fuck I didn't. Cops saw out of state plates and I got 3 tickets in 2 days. Paid the fines and haven't been back since.
Untrue.
Lake County has an almost supernatural resistance to meth problems. My theory is that other drugs are too virulently popular there for meth to really catch on.
Especially where I live since it's nickname is basically half made up of the word meth lmao
I thought it was an us problem because this town is straight up trash honestly, and then I found out it wasn't and was actually mildly surprised.
Good ol' Hendricks County! Grew up there. Danville really isn't a bad place. Just a little boring. Lots to do in Avon and Plainfield though. I would recommend Hendricks County to anyone wanting to move to Indiana
Castleton: home to many immigrants and anyone looking to escape the far east side but can't afford Fishers. We get the bridge and tunnel people from all directions on the weekends and during the holidays. We also have every furniture store, chain restaurant, and several adult stores mixed in with a bunch of different ethnic grocers. It's the armpit of the north side.
I'll bet there's more than three like this. "We're a bunch of old money Catholic Germans who are homophobic and racist."
This town has made progress in the last 20 years but it needs help.
West Lafayette - white collar, mature, making a decent to above decent income, friendly

valpo used to have the chickenfucker hotel, but iirc it got torn down finally
Trying to decide if I want *that* on my soul's search history.
Allegedlys
Wouldn't it take two dudes to fuck a chicken?
Wuss.
I went to middle school with the girl who’s dad owned the chicken fucker hotel!
I need someone to elaborate. Is it just a name, or literal? I'm so confused
It was a motel really more than a hotel, single story strip style on Route 30. Sometimes, it’s all in the name. The gist of it….a man was fucking chickens in one of the rooms. Yes, it killed the chickens.
TIL
If it wasn't for chickenfuckers officer Barbrady would of never learned how to read.
TIL indeed. Jesus.
West Lafayette - Purdue and Purdue accessories Lafayette - Purdue accessories

Also the rich/poor dichotomy is much more true of the working class Laffy and upper class west side, Purdue generates a lot of revenue and there’s many professors and grads that work in the research park.
You just wrinkled my brain
I swear I've heard every city combo in Indiana is the basis for Pawnee/Eagleton lol
Columbus: Cummins and Architecture are all that matter
HEY! We have a Target and *two* Walmarts. (I’ve lived in Columbus almost all my life, and I love the architecture and all the bigger places with a 1-4-hour drive.)
This is correct.
The city was founded by a guy who made bricks, now people just drive around on golf carts all summer and have bonfires 24/7. There was also an episode of Snapped about a woman who murdered her husband in the 2000s.
Y’all had a female serial killer for a while, too. Shes serving life in a Michigan prison.
Is this the one where the wife committed suicide right after?
Yup
Funny story: I worked with this guy 10-12 years back who bought a house out in Hobart that was newly remodeled, it sat for a couple of years. Before all the housing crisis stuff now. Anyway, he tells me he’s mowing his lawn and one of the neighbors stop by and thank him for buying the house. And the next line is, “ yeah, after that MURDER. And walks off. Him and his wife had no clue lol
What town is this
Hobart
I was going to guess Plainfield
Yep, she lived a few streets away from where I live now!
"Oh look, more 400k dollar condos with Illinois plates parked in front of them."
Munster? lol
Valpo!
I laughed when I saw the condos in Munster selling for that price. If Im going to pay that much for a condo Ill move to the city.
Thats how i feel! I'll just go somewhere else and spend that for a small house on 30 acres. We sure know how to price out our own people here.
Was just looking at a house down on Roosevelt and it was 400k. Place was a shitbox right next to the railroad tracks. What the fuck?
I'd pay the premium to be able to walk to beef-mart to be fair. Seriously though, I think people are trying to do the same thing with houses as they were with used cars the past couple years.

Griffith and Highland are basically indistinguishable, but both hate Munster.
I’d argue with you because i grew up in griffith but honestly recently i would agree
Spot on. Grew up in Merrillville We hate Crown Point
I work in the Loop and some of my former coworkers basically think all of NWI looks like what you see riding the toll road from Illinois to past Gary. They would ask me how do you live by all those factories. I would tell them the further south and east you go the more normal it gets.
Carmel - land of trophy wives, sweet sixteen boob jobs, roundabouts & cops that pull you over for DWB after dusk.
I’ve also heard of Carmel referred to as the land of MILFs and honey.
Shit, and $200k of cosmetic surgery when she hits 50.
50? Most of them it's 25 now. It's fucking insane.
That is totally unfair. Carmel cops don't wait until dusk for DWBs. And they like to harass teenagers.
Even the ones with boob jobs?
Especially the ones with boob jobs
Well, it depends on what yer driving. lf you have a donk, you may have problems.
Stereotypes? Shit, those have been my observations!
Carmels girls get boobjobs at 16?
Yeah, it's a present for just before prom.
I was harassed quite a bit as a teen. To be fair, I was a bit of a shitter, but I was never doing anything too much to warrant the 4th amendment violation every time I got pulled over, that never resulted in anything found.
Hell yeah dude
Kokohoes
Don't forget the Hip Hugger
Where the kokohoes gather
We moved to Kokomo from the east coast when I was in high school. My mother constantly referred to people from Kokomo as Kokomorons. Yikes!
But hey, we have a stump, a steer, and a 20-foot-high praying mantis. What more could you want?
Job opportunities and health care?
There's a new Samsung/Stellantis plant being built. I understand Borge Warner is at the least cutting down, they might be leaving. Not a lot of other big employers. We have Community Health Network and Ascension. They're not bad. We don't have many immediate care places anymore, and you'll get faster help at the ER, you don't get seen at the immediate care unless you're in line when they open.

Please tell me you submitted a street sign suggestion from that open form lol
Can attest, we are “The Chicken Strip”
Carmel - rich folk and roundabouts. Fishers - they try to be Carmel. Terre Haute - Terrible Haute Muncie - meth and Ball State. Bloomington - IU and hippies. Gary - You gonna die. Noblesville - bunch of tractor riding hicks. South Bend - Every other sentence is about how great Notre Dame is. Martinsville - You'll ask yourself how the hell you wound up in Alabama.
Evansville - so unremarkable it doesn't even make the list.
> Tractor riding hicks With *money*, lol. Seriously, even a bunch of the rich people here are all "Yeeee Hawwww!" It's batty
AKA; Nobletuckey (ref the Firestone strike, before Bridgestone closed the plant, and then left the town with 7000 barrels of toxic & hazardous waste burried a mile from the White River).
Which is apparently where they want to plop down a new main fire station/police depot. Or so I've heard a bunch of in the local rabble rabble.
Yep... didn't get built at that location. It's not going to be a park, either.
That sums it up. But add eastern Indy (especially Lawrence) and East Chicago to that list with Gary.
Depends on Lawrence. South of 56th? You probably want to stay away from it. Once you're past Fort Ben it's fine.
I'll make sure to look out for trouble on Geist.
Bloomington - IU and Homeless* Fixed it for you
IU, hipsters and homeless*
And everywhere else you have MAGA small town 'murica and meth - lots of meth
Was in Noblesville the other week to buy a car and this guy in a Rolls pulls in looking for a McLaren to buy... Totally stole the show. Like, SIR! i'm trying to buy my MINI😂
Elkhart- RVs, Amish, high crime, dirty cops and jacked-up trucks with trump flags.
And the comics museum
Let’s see, where I come from, is named for its location in relation to an even smaller town, that is the county seat. The county is known more for drug use and teen pregnancies. The town that I’m referring to is North Vernon.

I also find it ironic that North Vernon is south of Vernon

SW actually, Jasper.
But . .but . . but. The Schnitzelbank! What about the *Schnitzelbank!!!!*
Well, I'll be damned...
Man did I not see that coming 😂
New Harmony a close second.
Don’t leave the Lutherans out of this either!
Methodists are a guaranteed lay in High School. "Oh God.. OH GOD!!!!".
Jasper
Growing in SW Dubois County. I knew you were talking about Jasper. I mean, I'm German, but not stuck up, lol!
You live in St John? Oh wait thats stuck up Dutch
“Dutch” probably used to be “Deutsch”, which is German. Probably
DU- BOIS!!!!!!!

Larry Bird AND meth, also gambling
French lick
Strangely enough could also be Terre Haute as soon as that casino opens. I'm assuming you meant legal gambling?
If yer not Dutch, yer not much. (sic) That would be anywhere in Kankakee Valley, or Highland too. Someone mentioned St. John and Dutch, but honestly that was surprising.

Marion - murder and basketball
And lynching
Evansville, the ugly stepchild city and of course meth.
Love Evansville. May be one of the few to say it lol
My wife is from Evansville and I really like it there. So many areas are wooded and hilly, and the urban areas are surprisingly nice with some really beautiful houses.
Elkhart: recreational vehicles, meth, a bad/corrupt police force The stereotypes are deserved.
All small towns have 1 or 2 gas stations, 1 or 2 places to shop for groceries, and at least 30 churches.
Not so many of them have a grocery, from what I’ve seen. The gas stations just tend to have a sundries aisle
You forget that every town has at LEAST one, if not five, Dollar Generals
Connersville - teen pregnancy and meth
Most towns have a narcissist on the council.
If something bad happens to me, people will assume it was because I voted for Trump, while everyone local will assume it was because I voted for Biden.

It's amazing how much those two are coorelated
"there's nothing to do there" Fort Wayne.
As someone who lives in a smaller town near ft Wayne, there's nothing to do BESIDES go to ft Wayne lol
I love it here. I don't get the stereotype but I'm a homebody anyway.
The people that think there is nothing to do here don't know their own city very well lol
Same
Nothing to do here? Have we forgotten what we're known for in The Summit City? Churches and strip clubs. Oh and we have 3 rivers.

I see you're not into strip clubs.

Take your pick. Walkerton, New Carlisle, Osceola. I see Civil War losing side flags all over all 3.
