A small, midwest town of several thousand located south east of the Cleveland Metropolis. Originally an old miner town, this historically upper-middle class town has become a minor center of commerce- its many stores along Washington Street include boutiques, restaurants, and gift shops. Its youth, who attend Chagrin Falls Exempted High School are known for their juvenile tendencies that include but are not limited to: stealing, trespassing, and underage consumption. These problems are minor, compared to the fact that the school ranks consistantly in the top 100 public schools in America- giving notion to the fact that the town's students have prematurely developed a degree of maturation, as evidenced by the balance of academic and social aspects practiced. This balance manifests in the school's alumni base, which encompasses many of the most successful persons in Cleveland and abroad. It's student athletes are referred to as Tigers, and the high school consists of many middle of the road, average sized teams.

a small midwestern ohio town known for its appeal as a tourist trap, though the residents themselves don't shop for much in the 'downtown' since most of the useful stores went out of business years ago. The town and especially the high school have very low diversity, minorities making up 1-2% of the population.

The high school itself is notorious for many things, including bad security, an emphasis on 'tradition,' faulty heating and cooling systems, and a lot of student partying, drinking, drug use, etc. Most known are the pumpkin roll and blossom time, both excuses to get completely smashed. However, chagrin manages to be a top 100 school almost every year, and most of the students take AP or honors classes, so in the end it balances out.

2)A song by the same name performed by The Tragically Hip. Said song makes very little sense, as does the use of the name of afore-mentioned Midwestern town in the song.
