Can The SFF Bus Make Stops in Southern Indiana?? Having read the information of the different states and countries...WOW our world has so many wonderful places! From Indianapolis (famous for the Indianapolis 500 race), going south we have Nashville, Indiana with a lot of artsy shops and leave main street and there are a lot of hold over hippies. Next to Nashville is Beanblossom (love the name of that town). Bloomington, home of Indiana University and Bobby Knight coached the IU basketball team, and threw a chair in one of his temper tantrums! haha Near here is Vincennes where Red Skelton was raised. They just opened a museum in his honor. It is the site of the Battle of the taking of Fort Sackville, the French against the British. Rogers and Clark were there. The mighty Wabash River is there. In early Indiana history the people thought the country ended at the Wabash until Rogers and Clark left going west. Vincennes was the first state capitol. To the east of my town (Washington) is a large Amish community. We have south of us, Santa Claus, Indiana and a fun place with 3 wooden roller coasters, 2 are the largest in the world. It was voted the cleanest theme park in the country (world?)and free soft drinks! Then we have French Lick, Indiana!! Home of the famous French Lick Hotel where movie stars, royalty and even us common folk have stayed. Near these last 2 is Lincoln, Abraham Lincoln lived there and his mother is buried there. There is so much to see and do in southern Indiana!! Much more than I just mentioned. Come visit us Hoosiers!! |
