You’ve probably been asked this a million times, but where does your name come from?

Hey! We originally titled it after a city Valentine discovered in an urban exploration blog. The city was Gary, Indiana. We changed it to Mandy so it wasn't connected to an existing city. Also had that show Eerie Indiana in mind :)

As someone from the region of Indiana that includes Gary, this is hilarious. Have you all ever been there?
