Well, L. Frank Baum, the guy who wrote wizard of oz, was from valparaiso, which is in nw indiana and incidentally has a new team this year.

Gene Shepard (I think that's his name) who wrote A Christmas Story("you're gonna shoot your eye out, you're gonna shoot your eye out") grew up in Hammond. The name of the town in the movie is Hohman, Indiana, which is really Hammond. One of the main thoroughfares in Hammond is Hohman Avenue. Hey, I live on Hohman Avenue!!
