October 31, 2009

I was 1 year old in 1968, so I wasn’t as up on current events and popular culture as I am now. But I could learn about what was going on in the first year of my life by visiting 1968 in America at the Minnetrista Cultural Center in Muncie (Delaware County). The exhibit has [...]

The Circle of Lights on Indianapolis’ Monument Circle

October 30, 2009

I’ve never seen the lighting of the Indiana Christmas tree, the Circle of Lights. I do have an excuse, in that I’ve only lived in Indianapolis for two Christmases. The rest of the time, I either lived in Muncie (Delaware County) or Syracuse (Kosciusko County). In the past couple of years, we’ve had sick kids [...]

October 29, 2009

When it comes to Halloween, I’m pretty much a big chicken. I don’t do haunted houses, don’t watch scary movies and I don’t go into those Halloween costume shops that have gory costumes and moving figures on display.

October 28, 2009

One question I get asked about quite a lot by people I know is: Where do you find those nostalgic posters of the South Shore Railroad Line? You’ve seen them all over the place – they usually have romantic image of the South Shore Line advertising an attraction in Northwest Indiana. Many of them are [...]
