driving in Terre Haute, Indiana on August 14, 2013 (from I-70 to Rick's Smokehouse BBQ)

That was the wabash river

[@jasperedwards81]

That is a river whose name I have long been familiar with but really had no idea at all where even generally geographically it was located. Thanks.

[@B2K2C]

That is my home church at 10:44 on the left. TGT..... now my uncle is the pastor and it’s called Refuge Church

[@jasperedwards81]

Continue to be amazed this video gets so many views but am thrilled. Thanks for the comment and hope the video brought good thoughts and memories to you.

[@bonniemoerdyk9809]

Bman KC ... do you know the Tindall Family? They use to go there....they passed away a few years ago now...our best friends. If I ever get back to my hometown...I'll have to come visit Refuge!

[@leanajo754]

I'm thinking of visiting Indiana one day soon. Got a good friend, who I have been in contact with for 2 years, lives there. It does look pretty.

[@jasperedwards81]

Hope you get the chance to do so.

[@boggy7665]

You were on the National Road, the first federally-funded highway, started in 1811 at Cumberland, MD and ended in 1837 at Vandalia, IL. Plans had been to keep going westward but funding was cut in the financial panic of 1837. The route you showed us was designated US 40 during most of the 20th century and until 2011.

[@jasperedwards81]

How interesting! Thanks so much for sharing that. I love historical info like this. It would be nice if they posted some signs along the route informing people of the historical significance of it.

[@boggy7665]

John Edwards Special marker evident at 1:14, topmost above the US-150 shield. Besides the Panic of 1837, another reason the road wasn't extended farther westward was the invention of railroads. The first American common-carrier railroad, the B&O, was chartered in 1827, and by 1840 there were over 2,800 miles of track in place. TH of course was & is a major railroad hub.

[@kyleb06]

US-40 now goes as far west as Kansas City, MO.

[@pinkfinger66]

Larry Bird put ISU on the map. I have lived here over 25 years now.

[@jasperedwards81]

He sure did. One of the all time greats. It still makes me sad that he never got to play with Len Bias, the great college player from Maryland, who Larry Bird recruited I have heard and what a dynasty in Boston it could have been having Larry Bird and Len Bias on that team. Of course, Larry Bird was so great in his own right the Celtics won championships with him, but I think with Len Bias at his side, he would have taken home more.

[@pings007]

ISU is my school. Love this place, lots of memories! Thanks for posting.

[@jasperedwards81]

I'm always happy when a video brings back nice memories for someone. Thanks for letting me know.

[@mikeyoutube9233]

12 minutes and no trains? Unbelievable!

[@DyronMax]

Mike KZbin Up north at that one intersection on margaret is the worst.

[@abdullahalmatrafi268]

Thats what I used to do when I feel bored sometimes, I drive around the city, especially xmas time, I lived in Terre Haute from 2009 till aug 2016, I miss it a lot 💔

[@jasperedwards81]

Very glad if the video brought back good memories. Thanks for commenting.

[@kristensholar7417]

ive been inside the courthouse

[@smrfvakster835]

I live in this town

[@boggy7665]

My great aunt & uncle (long gone now) lived about 1/4 mile from where your vid ended. My (to be) mom & dad met at ISU about 60 years ago. Remember visiting aunt & uncle & cousins there many times, passed by that point many times. Dad's recollection of TH from his school days was that he got headaches from the industrial smoke and often had to wait a long time for trains to pass. How things change, maybe not for the better.

[@jasperedwards81]

I'm glad the video brought up some nice memories.

[@gmaneis]

Thanks for posting this. Interesting to hear first timers' reaction to the town I lived in for many years. You guys are also good at keeping your cool while following GPS instructions!!!!

[@merrileebauman8941]

I have had experience with that, too, ... that GPS does not always give the best instructions. But at least they got there in this video, and you will eventually arrive at your destination. Their first suggestions are not always the shortest route.

[@jimdailey1018]

Awsum! I was born their in '47 and dragged away in '57. I've been back several times and thank God I got to pictures of the Terre Haute House before it was raised. '05 I think.

[@bubbaj21]

I love this. I was born in Terre Haute and lived there the first 9 years of my life. I haven't been back since. Seeing the Catholic Church and all the things I remember about it was awesome. Thank you for posting this.

[@jasperedwards81]

It's always nice to hear that a post triggered pleasant memories. Thanks for taking the time to say so.

[@ashrenehan4704]

Why am i watching this? I live here?

[@me3333]

I know the guy that owns that white dodge dually at 2:58

[@CocoTaveras8975]

Really?! Cool that you can recognize someone from a YT video.

[@lightbright222]

Thank you for posting this. I was born in Terre haute and I have never been there to visit. I left when I was only a few Months old. I wish to go back one of these days seeing as how I have three half siblings in Indianapolis. Once again, thank you!

[@jasperedwards81]

I'm always gratified to hear that someone has enjoyed one of my posts and so I'm very glad to hear that you did. Thanks for taking the time to say so.

[@smrfvakster835]

You lowkey passed my house lol you could see it thats fucking dope

[@jasperedwards81]

I'm glad you enjoyed it.

[@lailaalaghbari982]

This is west terre haute not terre haute, two different towns really.

[@RealKansasMan]

Laila Alaghbari They drove through West Terre Haute and Terre Haute in this video. Yes they are two towns but still one town, just in sections. Most of this video, they drive through Terre Haute down Ohio St to Wabash Ave

[@hardcoretruth6875]

Looks like a nice little town. It kind of reminds me of where I live. I like to be out on the road but when I can't get out these videos are good.

[@jasperedwards81]

+Hardcore truth I'm glad you enjoyed the video. It turns out a number of my highway videos have had the most views.

[@jasperedwards81]

+Hardcore truth Glad the video is serving a useful purpose for you. That's exactly why I post.

[@austincatterson8458]

I live here

[@landon5416]

Austin Catterson me too

[@Sarah-bg9ow]

how is the city overall

[@landon5416]

But I live in the country of vigo county

[@landon5416]

Just wondering has anyone that lives here eaten at Piloni’s

[@bonniemoerdyk9809]

Yes, although it's been a while! (I live a couple hours away now) Pretty good food! Although, I preferred the restaurant that used to be there before...Carosi's Italian. Had eaten there on a regular basis since I was in a highchair! Still, I would recommend!

[@Geo76er]

Worked there many years ago installing fiberoptic cable. Nice place.

[@jasperedwards81]

Glad the video brought back nice memories and thanks for taking the time to say something. This was a video my wife didn't want to take because she said no one would ever watch it, that the subject matter was nothing anyone would be interested in. Well, 8600 views later, she admits that it turned out to be way more popular than she could have ever guessed. So glad I took and posted this one anyway.

[@kimberlyamenabar7857]

Now I know why I left Terre Haute in 1990. The arm pit of the Midwest! Sorry.....

[@SPRAY915]

The hometown of a KZbin legend. "Yoteslaya" RIP Brian Rikard 10-23-13

[@dgreenja8051]

Very nice. What kind of camera was used to do this video?

[@jasperedwards81]

+dgreenja Thanks so much for the kind words. I used a Panasonic TM900.

[@dgreenja8051]

Ok thanks. About how large is it?

[@jasperedwards81]

+dgreenja It's fairly small, but not as small as the smallest ones I see out and about. It's sort of medium or average I think would be the best way to describe it. I will say I have been extremely happy with the quality of the video and audio that it records. I'm pretty sure this model is not sold anymore and have not looked at any ratings of its successors.

[@dgreenja8051]

Oh ok. One thing for sure, that it is much clearer than mine

[@sarahpounds6064]

Looks like you’re driving in the passing lane. Terre Hautian pet peeve if you are.

[@countnickoli]

yeah our town can b a little confusing to out of towners

[@alanduncan1980]

I came here because Ron Burgundy

[@miprobot146]

this is not terre haute it is west terre haute

[@kyleb06]

Starts in West Terre Haute but contonues into Terre Haute.

[@uqdbal]

The best place ever!

[@sarahrose3451]

that voice is awful .. my god how do you listen to that woman talk without hitting her

[@bonniemoerdyk9809]

Seriously? May God have mercy on your soul.

[@kristinsshenanigans]

can you not encourage violence against women
