It's Evansville — In Other News…

In Other News…

When it rains, it pours. Tons of fun stories in the past few days. Let’s highlight:

If you see a guy swerving in a Toyota Avalon with the license plate UE 1, it’s quite possibly UE president Stephen G. Jennings. He was picked up last night on a DUI. Toga! Toga! Toga!
There is a super secret invitation only groundbreaking for I-69 set for the week of July 13. After the last few weeks, organizers won’t give a specific date and location for the event. Cowards. Let the (peaceful) protesters show up and voice their concern.
After the complete trainwreck that was the Kelvin Sampson era, IU is now also giving up 2 scholarship spots on their mens basketball team for the upcoming season. Even with all this adversity, I’m sure Crean’s head will be demanded if he doesn’t make the NCAA tournament next year.
Gas prices are up, and so is shoplifting.
Now that Greyhound has moved over to the METs station downtown, an architectural firm is trying to decide what to do with the old greyhound station. Please do not turn it into yet another downtown office building.

Jerry, I agree—I think this would be a GREAT place for a local dinner…not some crappy thing, but like those really good, delicious ones, NY-ish. Keep all the exterior and as much interior as possible. Think “Dinners, Drive-Ins, & Dives” by Guy Fieri on Food Network
