Welcome to

I LOVE MUNCIE .com!

Thanks to Justin Rummel for the FLASH Logo above!

A site dedicated to everything Muncie…. And some other stuff…
...ok.... I don't know much about Muncie...
but I lived there once, and the URL was available!



I spent nearly five quality years in the great city of Muncie, Indiana. Muncie is home of Ball State University named for the Ball brothers (think Ball jars and cans). Also featured in Close Encounters of the Third Kind (the first abduction on cornbread road).

Long before it was a city, the Muncie area was home to the Munsee or Wolf Clan of the Delaware Indians. The Delaware Indians, after whom the county is named, established a tribal town along the White River. Munseetown, from which Muncie took its name, was located within the present boundaries of the city.

Idina Menzel was amazing as the Wicked Witch of the West, Jennifer Laura Thompson was perfect as the new Galinda, George Hearn got a standing O when he first walked out as the Wonderful Wizard of Oz, and... who's your favorite New Kid? That's right, Joey McIntyre has joined the cast at Fiyero!

"The Inside Story of Six M.I.T. Students Who Took Vegas for Millions" Great short read. Makes you want to risk your stash you have been saving up to pay for that '84 Mustang! It is a fun book for people who have been to Vegas, or people who think they are smart, or people who just like money!

Go buy it on DVD.  It is worth it.

Great plot, great story telling, great acting, great production. I laughed, I cried, it was better than Cats, I'm going to see it again and again. (SNL reference)

Fan Mail:

"Just to let you know that Muncie was just rated 274th in the worst cities! I went to Garfield grade school and Wilson Jr. High and moved to Florida (1962) going into the 10th grade. I moved back to Muncie in 1991 and have seen it go down hill. No jobs and high taxes. But, I still love Muncie! Your website is great. Keep it up.
