North Vernon is a typical small town in Indiana, where everyone seems to know everyone. While it may seem like it doesn't have much to offer, it is a short drive to Seymour or Columbus for several entertainment, shopping, or dining options.
North Vernon is a small one horse town with a small Walmart, and we just got a McDonalds and an Arby's. It is nice here, quiet never much going on, so if you like nothing come here.
