Get Your March Madness Fix in Indiana

Yard Sale Season is Here!

by nwiltrout June 1, 2011

One thing I love about summer (besides sunny days by the pool, the sound of the ice cream truck approaching, and the smell of a freshly mowed lawn) is that each weekend brings a new round of treasures to find. The kind of treasures that can only be discovered at a yard sale. And two great [...]

Terre Haute Children’s Museum: Bigger and Better

by espicklemire October 26, 2010

Growing up on the banks of the Wabash River, I visited the Terre Haute Children’s Museum hundreds of times as a child.

Indiana’s wild kingdoms

by ammagan September 13, 2010

Some people, when they go to a new city, seek out the best steakhouses. Others look for bead shops or comic book stores. Me? I’m a sucker for zoos. From big elaborate zoos to small hometown animal havens, I just love going to the zoo. And Indiana has plenty of zoos to boast about. But [...]

CANDLES is a small museum with a big message

by ammagan August 31, 2010

As part of her summer reading assignment, my daughter had to read Boy in the Striped Pajamas by John Boyne. It’s the story of the young son of a Nazi officer who befriends a young Jewish boy living at Auschwitz — despite the fact that the barbed wire of the camp separates the two. I [...]

When you can’t face another fast food joint

by ammagan April 1, 2010

In the nearly 17 years we’ve been making the drive from Indianapolis to Evansville, we’ve driven through Terre Haute hundreds of times. About 10 years ago, my father-in-law told us of a short-cut that would shave about 15 or 20 minutes off our trip. Instead of driving through Terre Haute, we get off I-70 West [...]
