I grew up in Lafayette, Indiana and lived there for over 20 years. Lafayette is about 60 miles north of Indianapolis and is home of Purdue University! Go Boilers! Growing up with Purdue in my backyard was my favorite thing about my hometown. There was always something to do whether it was a sporting event, shows/concerts or camps..Purdue keeps you busy!
Downtown Lafayette has really grown since I was little. They have done a great job at getting businesses back into downtown along with amazing restaurants. Some of the best places to eat are in downtown. Two of my favorite things to do downtown are to go to the "Gallery Walk" on Friday nights where all the shops stay open late and they have live music and during Halloween to go on "Ghost Tours" of downtown where they tell you all kinds of true stories from Lafayette's past.
Fun Fact about Lafayette: They have the most restaurants per capita than anywhere else in the country.
My new town is Clemson, South Carolina. Lucky for me another college town, home to Clemson University. I have lived here the past three years and love the south. I spend most of my time on campus and attending sporting events. I haven't been to a campus that rivals a football Saturday at Clemson.
Another favorite of mine here in Clemson is it's super small but very cute downtown. I had never seen a downtown that is just one street until I moved here. It has everything from places to eat to high end clothing boutiques.
Fun fact about Clemson is a city of about 12,000 people that grows to over 80,000 on a football Saturday.
Hope you enjoyed taking a peek around where I have lived!
