    A bunch of friends were tubing on the Ohio river one day when we seen a family of amish watching with alot of teen kids. We pulled over near them and asked if they would like to go tubing. Their grandfather was very hesitant though after awhile of the teens bugging him to let them try it out he agreed, but only on one condition. They must be back in 30 minutes. They all took their boots off and 2 at a time would ride on the tube. My dad would turn and throw them off the tube and they would just laugh and laugh. We had a great time and not a second over 30 minutes their grandpa was waving his hat to return. I wonder if they still remember us

      2023 will be a breakthrough year for so many traders📈 However, we must address the big Lion in the room. You can learn as much technicals as you like, but without positive self image, you won't feel worthy of the success, so even the moment you start to do well, you will most certainly find a way to sabotage yourself and away all.
      Program yourself in your mind, a high level of positive self image remains the key, never forget that we all have a creative mind and unlimited potential

The south side of town is pretty rough now.. There's a lot of petty crime and drug related violence.. Growing up in the 80's and 90's Marion was a great place to live.. Now, not so much.. They only thing we have going for us in my opinion is the river, and the three huge reservoirs that are all within a fifteen minute drive..

We need to do something to get better jobs here.. I'm afraid Marion is going to turn into a ghost town If we don't.. The state put a lot of effort into cleaning up the rivers.. The Mississinewa, which is the river that runs through town, has turned into a world class fishery.. We get tons of people from out of town who come to kayak and fish the river.. The Wabash river, which runs through Wabash and Huntington, isn't coming around as well as the Mississinewa has.. There were just too many factories dumping waste into it..

We have boating, a national park with hiking and waterfalls, festivals all summer, and pretty mild winters for the last several years. One thing we DO NOT need, is any more liberals trying to change it into one of the CITIES they LEFT!

My county alone has 101 natural lakes and the deepest and largest natural lakes in the state. If you are into boating and fishing it's a paradise. Zero water shortage here.There are so many lakes that a middle class family can afford lakefront property. The difference between winters when I was a kid and now are night and day. Most years we don't even get ice on the lakes thick enough to walk on or not at all. It was 62 degrees (F) on Christmas this year. For the most part people have a live and let live point of view. I spent my career traveling and working all over the country and this is where I call home and it fits me. Thank you for your time.

When the officers and their families were taken to Fort Knox until their court martial inquiry, Nazi officers were allowed into the whites' only club and allowed to roam free. So, yes, much like Kentucky. Ohio of the states across the river from Kentucky had the majority of Underground Railroad stations. Indiana had more Southerners, which might have accounted for the KKK running the state govt in the 1920s, and their eugenics attempts that were allegedly studied by Hitler.

    Indiana is 3 states. The north is like smaller town Michigan. a lot of industry and education ( Notre Dame, Purdue.). The center is all about Indianapolis, a major urban center surrounded by large farms. The south is an extension of Kentucky. some industrial towns, ( Honda civic ) a lot of coal mines, a few oil wells, and farms.

    As a life-long Hoosier myself, who has lived in - or at least driven though - nearly every part of the state, I feel that you have done pretty good with your overview. Just one question: Why did South Bend & Gary rate a mention, but Evansville didn't? It's bigger than either, & sits in a pretty scenic (IMO) section of the state.

I can tell you, Oregon winters are brutal because grey is for upwards of half the year. I'll take a few weeks of grey and white. Tornadoes are rare and mild up here, and the people are very friendly. And here's the kicker- I bought a house for 1/4 what it would have been in OR. I actually like flat, too, although it's a bit disorienting to not have mountains as landmarks.
