Don't visit Mt. Vernon

Living in Mt. Vernon, IN for 19 years has made me realized that there are better places out there. If you want to come vacation here just turn around and head back to where you came from. There isn’t anything that would interest you and it would be a waste of your time. I know every road and every place here and there isn’t anything here worth seeing. Unless you have family there is nothing for you here.
When I was in high school there wasn’t anywhere to go and hangout with my friends. We would go and sit at the riverfront, which was as long as a driveway. They had a swing set and that’s about it. Since we were in high school we weren’t real interested in swinging on the swing sets. We would sit in our cars and watch the barges go by. If that sounds appealing to you then Mt. Vernon is your place to be. They have a huge silo that ruins the scenery. It could be a pretty view, but we can’t afford to tear down the silo. I can assure you it’s certainly nothing too exciting. We would all go down there and talk about how much we hate Mt. Vernon and how there’s never anything to do. That got us in a lot of trouble, because then we’d go spray paint signs or go drink at a friend’s house.
Another place to go sit at is McDonald’s. Some of us would go and sit in their parking lots all night long just to cause trouble. That’s not our fault though. If they didn’t want us to cause trouble they should have made something more exciting for us to do so we wouldn’t have to sit around all night and be useless. We would do that until they eventually put a sign up that said, “no loitering”.
Mt. Vernon has very little sit down restaurants. There is a Tequilas. It’s a Mexican restaurant that a lot of people go to. A lot of people go there, because it’s our best restaurant. I can’t argue that it’s not very good, because it is very good. Eating it all the time though it gets kind of old and it’d be nice to have another one to go to.
We did recently get a bar-b-que joint, but it’s always crowded since it’s new. I’ve eaten there a couple times when it’s not busy, but it’s hard to go there when it’s not. It’s a really small building and it gets crowded fast.
We have four fast food places to eat and they are dirty and most of the time they make me feel really sick. The people that work there look like they haven’t showered in over a week and you don’t want people like that making your food. The only place worth going to is Subway.
We have a lot of groceries for a small town, but none of them are worth going to because they’re also dirty. When you walk in you will notice that the place isn’t very taken care of. The floors are always dirty. No body wants to buy their food from some place that doesn’t clean the floors.
Another thing we have that we don’t need is a lot of gas stations. We have more gas stations than food joints. There is no reason to have 5 gas stations on one street. It makes the town look gross. There is nothing pretty to look at. There’s just a bunch of gas stations that are also very dirty.
If you have the choice to come to Mount Vernon I would suggest don’t. I grew up here and I’ve seen everything there is to be seen and it’s not worth your time or money. There isn’t a mall to go shopping at and there isn’t a restaurant worth coming to. It’s a cheap town and it could use some reconstruction. Avoid it if possible. There is nothing here worth your time. You should go visit somewhere that’s worth seeing. Mount Vernon is not the place to be. If it weren’t for my family and friends I would have left a long time ago.
