I started writing a post titled "Indy Trip Postscript", about some very amazing and incredible sights and interactions, and bits of history that I learned on my last two days in Indiana. But I got so swamped with work right away, and had no time. Among the highlights: a farmer's market in Lafayette with lots of Amish, a candy store nearby open since 1912, and the Canal District of Indianapolis. Breathtaking! And so underused. I really enjoyed my stay in Indiana.Marcelo Danielhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03654228376261868835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10839560.post-26501552271469643552007-08-02T18:41:00.000-05:002007-08-02T18:41:00.000-05:00I used to hang out in Broadripple as a disaffected teen! There was a coffeehouse there called Cafe Espresso where I started my two-shot a day habit.<BR/><BR/>Indiana actually has some interesting history, Marcelo, and Vonnegut's not its only illustrious native son. <BR/><BR/>Bostonians might recall a certain Larry Bird, for one. <BR/><BR/>Other writers of note include Theodore Dreiser and Booth Tarkington. <BR/><BR/>Musicwise (not going to mention Michael Jackson or Axl Rose), there's Hoagy Carmichael, who wrote "Stardust," and COLE PORTER. That's Cole frakin Porter. "Night and Day," "I Get a Kick Out of You," and "Begin the Beguine." <BR/><BR/>Steve McQueen.<BR/><BR/>Alfred Kinsey, of course. (The Kinsey Institute is in very blue Bloomington, home of IU, and everything you didn't find elsewhere on your trip.) <BR/><BR/>Eli Lilly. <BR/><BR/>Eugene Debs. Jimmy Hoffa. <BR/><BR/>Oh, and Jim Jones.<BR/><BR/>Go figureMike Mennonnohttp://masspurgation.comnoreply@blogger.com
