My Place in the Community
What does it mean to be from Bloomington?

Living in Bloomington-Normal means running into someone I know almost anywhere I go! Or someone I could soon know, just by saying hello. On the Constitution Trail, at the post office, at the library, at the Normal Theater or Heartland Theatre Company. At a junior high or high school volleyball game. At the history museum or the History Makers gala! Walking from temple to mosque for Friends Forever. Walking for Alzheimer's at the Cornbelters stadium. This is an active, generous community full of loving people, and I find them everywhere, in person!

I decided to move to Blm/Normal to attend ISU after visiting and when walking through the mall, people smiled at me. That didn't happen in Albany, NY, my second option.

I echo what a lot of other people have already said...I have christened Illinois -- especially the central region - the epicenter of Small World-ness. I have had so many strange "small world " experiences living here. I have discovered so many connections with people here that were surprising. Perhaps because it is so "in the middle."
