You Might Be From Elkhart If...

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Friends & Neighbors Real Estate RB14036506

 

You might be from Elkhart Indiana if...

 

You have ever worked in a RV factory

You have ever enjoyed Amish Crack (Rise N Roll Doughnuts)

You have ever shopped Linton's Enchanted Gardens

 

You know who Chocolate Charlie is

You have to slow to a crawl because there is an Amish Buggy in front of you

 

Every couple of blocks there is a round-a-bout

You have a craving for fresh corn

 

Elkhart County has touched you if...

 

You have ever turned on car your lights, or

 

pushed on the brake pedal in your car or truck

 

Flown on an airplane and buckled your seat belt, or

 

Went on a Quilt Garden Tour

 

Eaten a Thomas English Muffin anywhere north of Atlanta and East of the Mississippi, and

 

IF you have ever eaten dessert at a restaurant!

Elite Tean, Chocolate Charlie is so good, and they had some for Easter this year, which is a first! It has traditionally only been available at Christmas.

Evelyn, think seeing an Amish Buggy would be very exciting!  We don't see them around here.

Thomas & car brakes?  Who knew.  You folks are in a few keys pieces of the car.

Amish buggy crawl.  Could be peaceful if you have the time, right?

That's a touching post about Elkhart! Never been but it sounds charming. I didn't know it had a Amish community there

Evelyn, Chocolate Charlie has the same script that Willy Wonka and The Chocolate Factory movie seems to have--the one with Johnny Depp--this looks SO familiar--I'll bet they stole this for the movie! 

Being touched by Ekhart--well, honestly, I've always been a little "touched" , but I don't think it's the same thing you're speaking of...
