When you hear "Highland," what comes to mind? For many, it might conjure images of rolling hills or perhaps a specific region in Scotland, as dictionaries suggest. But for those in Northwest Indiana, "Highland" is a vibrant community, a place with its own unique flavor and local charm.
It's interesting how a simple place name can carry so much meaning. While the dictionary defines 'highland' as an elevated region or plateau, or even a mountainous area, the Highland in Indiana is more about its people and the businesses that make it tick. Think about the local pizza joints, for instance. One spot in Highland, and even in neighboring Schererville and Crown Point, is clearly proud of its offerings. They're running specials, like a medium one-topping pizza for $14.35 plus tax on Tuesdays, and they even have frozen pizza options available in medium size – cheese, sausage, pepperoni, and a combo that sounds pretty hearty. It’s the kind of detail that makes you feel like you're getting the inside scoop, right?
And it's not just about the food. This Highland is a place that's growing and looking for people to join its ranks. They're actively hiring for all positions at their Highland location, encouraging folks to apply online or in person. It speaks to a community that's alive and buzzing, with opportunities for those looking to contribute.
What really caught my eye, though, was their mention of being featured on ABC7's "Localish" program for their "Big Dill Pizza." That's the kind of local pride and unique offering that really sets a place apart. It’s not just another town; it’s a place with personality, a place that gets noticed for its culinary creativity.
Beyond the immediate buzz of local businesses, it's worth noting that "Highland" also appears in contexts like Indiana University's Bloomington campus, specifically its highly-ranked Maurer School of Law. While this is a different 'Highland' in terms of geography, it highlights how the name itself can be associated with established institutions and academic excellence within the state.
So, when you think of Highland, Indiana, remember it’s a place that offers more than just a geographical marker. It's a community with a taste for good pizza, a welcoming attitude towards new talent, and a knack for getting local media attention. It’s a place that, much like its name suggests, stands out.
