SperlingViews - Floyd_township, Indiana

What can I say about Floyds Knobs? Do NOT move here. This is the most cliquish town I have ever seen. It is an extension of Louisville, KY. College sports, their clique of friends from high school (yes, high school even when they're 40+ years old) and their families are their main topics of discussion. They rarely travel except to Panama City. They are generally uneducated and even if they are, they are mostly from elementary school teaching, insurance or medical backgrounds with zero interest in the arts, culture, travel or politics. They ask you "are you from New York?" (I grew up in the mid west) if you don't speak with their "accent". If you go to a party and try to make conversation, they will look at you and listen for about 30 seconds and then turn back to their homies and continue talking about people you don't know with absolutely no regard to how rude they are being. Louisville is the closest metropolitan area and the University is all about sports. Eating is the other main attraction - no shortage of chain restaurants and obese people here. Mostly chain stores for shopping. Generally your typical good ole boy type of place to live. [read more...]
