Moving To Valparaiso, Indiana? Community Information about VALPO

The name Valparaiso translates to Vale Of Paradise !     

 With Interesting Historical meaning to the name, Valparaiso is located in Porter County,  Northwest Indiana, about 50 minutes from Chicago's Loop !

 But For Popcorn Lovers around the country....VALPARAISO, IN was once Home Sweet Home of the late famous  Orville Redenbacher and

 

   

every year, the town's population grows with visitors from

all over  who attend the annual

POPCORN FESTIVAL !!!

                         Roads around the town square  are filled with arts, & crafts booths, food, music,

 & lots of people not to

mention a PARADE and Races also!

The hand painted artistic benches on every corner are resting spots for those with tired feet

or those who just got stung by the bumble bees that also attend the fest every year!

 

 Valparaiso makes ice cream also-Valpo Velvet Ice Cream Shop at
55 W. Monroe St. (pictured below) is a must stop by & have - our favorite is

Cappuccino-Chocolate Chip- Frozen Yogurt!

                                                       

 Besides the famed popcorn fest, terrific ice cream,

and many fine dining establishments, (some of which

offer outdoor seating in season along the main

street named Linclonway), the City of Valparaiso is also

know for its University !

 Kelsey' s Steak House  has been a landmark on US Highway 30 in Valparaiso, IN  for as long as we can remember... BECAUSE IT HAS THIS HUGE COW ON DISPLAY.

Mayor  to  even  SING  to  save  the  Cow!

 Yes, HOWIE the COW Remains a Valpo Landmark!
