== Fun facts ==
* Verona doesn't have a whole lot to offer via amenities, and you'll have to go into town to find them, as they're not at the exit with U.S. 45. There's a Hardee's, a few gas stations, a Dollar General, a tobacco shop, a Wheel City and a popular lemonade stand run by two Helioptile, but that's about aside from sports and/or battling.
* Verona sits along the Kansas City Southern Railway's Artesia Subdivision.
* Verona was a rural town for a long time, until it started growing in the mid-to-late 1960's.
