Advance Indiana April 10, 2008 by Doug Masson 10 Comments I knew Gary was making a name for himself, but I didn’t know he had his own damn town.
varangianguard says April 10, 2008 at 14:53 -04006 Maybe, Gary plagarized the name from the town. Whose been around longer, eh? Maybe the town is flattered? Maybe the town leased the name to him? Maybe, he IS the town? Maybe, they should make a sitcom about it? Reply

Brenda says April 11, 2008 at 3:15 -04006 Wikipedia said Males had a median income of $35,313 versus $21,500 for females. That seems to fit. Reply
Brenda says April 11, 2008 at 3:18 -04006 That’s that “other” Indiana group (a bit further North). Reply
Doug says April 11, 2008 at 7:30 -04006 I was just driving down I-74 on Wednesday and saw the exit to “Advance”. It made me chuckle. Reply
Mike Kole says April 11, 2008 at 7:42 -04006 I had the same experience on the road last year, when I was doing a lot of work in Champaign, IL. Every time I passed, I thought of Gary’s blog! Reply
Glenn says April 11, 2008 at 7:58 -04006 The difference I think is Advance the town pronounces it “AD-vance,” while the blog (and every other pronounciation of the word) is “ad-VANCE.” Why, I don’t know… Reply
