    Depends on where you live. My community really sucks (Terre Haute, Indiana), but I do a lot of regional exploration. You don’t have to travel all that far, maybe a day at most, to find new and interesting things.

      Does Terre Haute still have that smell? Been a while since I’ve been there but when my wife was in school at ISU, I distinctly remember that funk of the wind was blowing right.

        Thankfully, no. The paper plant closed down. Instead we now have a performance space that hosted Ted Nugent a couple of months ago. And we’re getting a casino for some reason.

      I almost moved to Terrible Hole for a while … I still wound up in Indiana, though, so I guess it was moot.

        Depends on where in Indiana. We grew up in Bloomington and have many friends there and it’s a decent town overall, even though it’s in Indiana, so we’d love to move there. We can’t afford a house there, but it’s a nice dream.
