They don’t even show us on the weather map… One of the Indianapolis stations shows a little town about half our size that’s only ten miles away from us…
The only time we ever get mentioned is if we have a Tornado, or something blows up, or someone is killed, other wise we don’t seem to exist. (maybe that's a good thing) So, I’m in the middle of somewhere in Indiana… BTW… I’m very lucky as far as bike riding goes, I live one mile away from the Cardinal Greenway, and we also have a beautiful river walk trail to ride here in town. And, the last couple of years we have had a Pro/Semi Pro bicycle race here as well. So, all and all not a bad place to live.
I bought a keg in Marion en route to the Indy 500 somewere around 80-81, I think, driving a borrowed Winnebago. It was the year Mears won, but Johncock was making up .5 sec/lab at the end. On the way back, we stopped to drop the keg off, and the store was gone. A tornado over the weekend destroyed it.
