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.

My condolences. But at least it wasn't Trump, gotta find that silver lining where you can.

No, but Vigo County used to be a bellwether. It voted for the winner in every election for something like 80 years. Then it went for Trump in 2020.

[–] Reverendender 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I definitely assume that this county is named for Vigo the Carpathian, the Sorrow of Moldova.

You know what annoys me? Half the people here pronounce it "Vai-go." like rhymes with 'eye.' Did they not watch Ghostbusters II?

[–] Reverendender 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

That’s the last straw. Time to move.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

If I only could...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Just out of curiosity, do you know the name of the paper mill?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

It was owned by International Paper.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Thanks for the reply!

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Shit, prices there are skyrocketing, aren't they. Are they trying to catch up with Seattle?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

It's not Seattle bad, but you're lucky if you can find a small house for less than half a million and our house is probably worth a third of that.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

Hey, it could be worse. It could be Bay Area bad.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Ahh terrible haute

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Depends on you. My community sucks but I enjoy gardening, grafting, hiking, hunting for delicious mushrooms, bird watching, boating and building stuff. Not to mention flying and fishing.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

I don't really like most of that, but I do like exploring diverse cultures. And I can do that if I just drive a little. Which is a hell of a lot cheaper than backpacking through Europe.
