Yes, this is true.  I have not lived in Indiana for long (3 years).  You are
 obviously
more a native here.  What is that other sign as you enter a town with a white
 flower
superimposed over an outline of the state of Indiana.  And the caption "You are
entering another fine Tri-Kappa Community".  Who is Tri-Kappa?  They seem to
have about half of the little towns in Indiana covered.
