I was thinking about riding out here on my bike soon. I just took a camping trip to raccoon lake in rockville Now wanting to check out other areas of indiana. I currently live in NWI but i got some time to explore so why not.

I am from there, grew up there. The worst thing is the corrupt mean people in places of power. The cops in dubois county have a decades long history of being prickish and dickish and getting their personal kicks by being nasty towards people. Looking at your video some places i was at. Where your video starts there was a pizza place called the drawbridge that i guess got torn down. Went there a lot as a kid. At 2.37 where the cvs is, there was a gas station where i once paid $100 for $10 in gas by mistake. At 2.40 is where i saw the first mini van i ever saw and it turned where you turned. It looked crazy and was like seeing a spaceship. At 28.58 the building that says terminex, i worked there inside and out doing all kinds of construction when it was first converted to office spaces. At 29.00 is a road i went up many times as a kid to the house my dad grew up in which you see on the corner when you turn at 30.57. When i was little my drunk dad drove me up there one night in his truck when he was so black out drunk, i dont know how we made it. At 40.17 i saw a woman carrying a baby crossing the road almost get hit by a truck. At 41.52 the funeral home on the corner, i saw my grandma go nuts and grab my dead grandpa while he was in the coffin. At 44.15 on the right is where the library used to be. Went there a lot years ago. At 44.45 when you stop to the left out of view is the standard station where i won $5000 on a lottery ticket. Straight ahead at that stop is st joes church where i was baptised. The graveyard on the right at 46.42 is where my mom is buried along with many other relatives.

Lived there for 20-odd years. Hated it. Very cliquish and bigoted community. Very few friendly people, most of whom I was lucky to meet. (You know who you are!!!) It seemed like the nice people were ones who had left town for one reason or another, and came back many years later, after they had been exposed to the REAL world. For years, the kids that went off to college never came back, and who could blame them? There was very little to do on weekends that didn't involve huge quantities of alcohol. Affordable housing was non-existent, most of the people who worked in the factories came from outside city limits. Renting a house or apartment was problematic too; very expensive and the landlord usually wouldn't maintain the place. And roaches were everywhere! Unless you had a brand-new house with the walls full of borax powder, you had roaches. There was NO racial diversity, thank goodness that's changing! When I first moved there, there was a Black man working on one of the city garbage trucks but he didn't live there, nobody would rent to him. Later there was another family that moved there because the father had an executive job at one of the factories. They kind of kept to themselves, and I couldn't blame them a bit. Yeah, it's an hour away from Evansville....and a whole world away from a good place to live.
I use to live there like 13 or 14 years ago I miss that place sooo mutch.
I miss the midwest.❤🎉
