Ran across this 1901 news story just now. This sounds like a movie plot! . . A NEIGHBOR SPOILED IT. . Fourteen-Year-Od Girl's Father Would Permit Her Marriage. . Special to the Indianapolis Journal. (10/2/1901 Edition) . ELWOOD, Ind., Oct. 1. A telephone message spoiled a match in this city yesterday. Frank Spencer, who came recently from Ohio, and Miss Alice Van Winkle, the fourteen-year-old daughter of a prominent farmer north of the city, came to Elwood and boarded a car for Anderson to obtain a marriage license. Scarcely had they left the city when George Gains, a farmer, living adjoining the Van Winkles, rode breathlessly into town and telephoned to the county clerk, instructing him not to issue a license to the couple, as the girl was not of age and the man had a wife in Ohio. When Spencer presented himself for the license it was refused. It happened that George Van Winkle, the father of the bride-to-be, was In the courthouse at the time, and the lovers appealed to him. He admitted that the girl was but fourteen years of age, but that she might as well marry if she wanted to. The other objection, however, could not be overcome, and the wedding was postponed. Spencer does not deny that he has a wife in Ohio. . . #bigamy #indianapolisjournal #elwoodindiana #oldnewspapers #newsclipping #marriage #history #historicnewspapers #journalism #stories https://www.instagram.com/p/Bs3XUr4hmXx/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=9sjm17tmw2fi

Finding Fun In Indiana

This will be my first blog for the sole purpose of showcasing the fun and unique businesses in Indiana, particularly East Central Indiana.  In this day and age, we have to rage against the “same old, same old” feeling that is creeping into every town.  It seems that most towns look like the next town.  Every has the same chain restaurants, retail stores, etc.  However, if you take the time to look, you can find the fun and unique businesses that stand out and distinguish themselves.   From great food to different styles of clothing to just a great ambiance and everything in between!!!  To stick with the Fun theme of this blog, you will only find positive reviews.  If it is a great experience for me, I will let you know about it.  If it is something far less than a great experience, I will walk away from it and never speak of it again!!!

I will be posting my first full review in the next day or two.  I have the best of intentions to have 3 or 4 blogs a week, so let’s see if I can keep to that promise.  

Rage against the oncoming blandness of the “same old, same old” homogenized look that is infecting towns across the country.  Take the time to find that unique business that is worth the trip!!!

I have several locations I am planning to visit in the next few months to see how great they are and if they are worthy of word of mouth praise.  

Microbreweries, local distilleries, small venues showcasing great music, retail shops that feature the out of ordinary, a small business with great customer service, amazing restaurants, etc. 

If you know somewhere that you would like to recommend, send me a message and I will check it out.

Rage against the bland, Find the fun and spread the word!!!!

Can you get right up to these, they are massive. As I was heading south on 37, I saw at least 50 over hundreds of acres. #Windmill #WindGenerator #WindFarm #MyIndiana #ElwoodIndiana
