I grew up in Urbana, OH and moved here to go to the Mount, and it blew my mind when we went to orientation and everyone was doing West Side Bingo - all those girls who went to Seton or MND and knew friends of friends and cousins and whatnot. I guess I kind of did that, too, because I had a couple of cousins there and also some of the people I met had gone to parochial school with friends of mine. Maybe it's actually Catholic Bingo? Anyhoo, it's totally true and now that I've lived in Hyde Park and Norwood it is definitely not the same. <br/><br/>By the way, this is Erin of the PPF process that you ended up not using on some book or another, which may have actually kept you sane. :) I'm not there anymore, but I was on LinkedIn and saw your title and thought you had also left and then I found your link to your blog and now I'm here. Whew. In addition to West Side and Catholic Bingo, I play a fair amount of Publishing Bingo. :) I was at a meeting last night where a bunch of Mount people were discussing whether they had watched the funeral processions and someone said (roughly paraphrased) “I’m an East Sider and we just aren’t as much in everybody’s business” and another woman responded with “we’re just close-knit” and I was thinking about that.
