I love Evansville, that was our place to go to shop. I grew up in Southern Illinois and loved the drive to Evansville. I love your adventures around Southern Indiana and wish I could find someone to have adventures in Southern Illinois. Thank you.

Thanks for the tour. We moved here in August 2023. We escaped the California tyranny. Now wanting to get familiar with our new home city. Happily spending our California money with a state that we love.

My husband was born and raised in Evansville and his family is still there. Im from the middle of nowhere west ky and when we were dating especially we spent lots of time in Evansville because to me, it might as well have been new York city! Lol we still go frequently because we absolutely love Turonis pizza. Best pizza on earth! Even though my country butt cant ever live anywhere but the woods, Evansville will always be a special place i love to visit.

Lived there from 2001 till about 2005. I came back down when they brought the LST home. When I lived there it was the perfect city to live in if you grew up a country boy. It had everything you could possibly want, but it didn't feel too Urban.

Also Roger, quick question when are you gonna talk about the unit of Giants that fought during the civil War that came from Bloomington? Look up Buskirk my man, you're missing out. I've been doing a lot of research on Southern Indiana myself especially Bloomington. When I have some free time I pretty much live at the historical society in town

@@AdventureswithRoger Buskirk what's the second tallest to fight in the civil War. The tallest was on the Confederate side. He was a sarcastic guy and when he was captured during a battle he spun a story about how he was the shortest person in this family. So Confederates became worried about the Giants of Indiana. This is where I thought the term land of giants came from for the Hoosier. However after watching your videos I've come to the conclusion that this is been a land of giants for a very long time.

Lots and lots of changes, especially along the Ohio River waterfront. I think the city planners had big hopes for the Tropicana, but it fizzled out and they had to regroup. They tell me that the bike trail goes through some beautiful places.

Not much has changed over the last 50 years at this museum. It become complacent. The "largest' doesn't always translate into the best. Now, you can't tell me that conche shell was native to E-Ville?

I’ve been to nearly every museum in Southern Indiana. Just when I think I’ve done them all, there’s another! All the curators have told me the same story, almost apologizing: creating collections is pricey and they don’t have the money. Many will have a small section where they rotate special exhibits, but the rest of the museum changes very little. As an outsider, the museum offers good variety, and the recreated town is bigger than the one at the Indianapolis Children’s Museum. It’s certainly not the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry, that has a submarine, actual coal mine, and cars you ride through the exhibit, but it’s exceptional when compared to other Southern Indiana museums. Speaking of the conch shell, I think it was just part of the international collection, at least that’s the one I remember. But, I was talking to the director of Indiana Caverns, and he was telling me how Indiana chert arrowheads have been found all the way on the east coast. Early people were both moving around and trading, far more often than we’d think. Anyways, I hope to get back down there, and see a few more county museums this year.

@@AdventureswithRoger You might like the little museum in Holland, Michigan. Its a great place to visit especially during the Tulip Festival in the Spring and its on Lake Michigan's shoreline. Very nice video on E'ville 🙂

Love Holland, Michigan, especially at Tulip Festival time! When we were kids, Dad took us to the Dutch village and we thought it was great. Then in 1999, me, my fiancé, good friend and his fiancé, took a day trip up there. We visited the beautiful tulip farm, where they make wooden shoes, and also the Dutch Village. Think we got back home at midnight or so, but it was totally worth all the miles. Just a wonderful time with so many great pictures!
