Greatest Bar on Earth: The Slippery Noodle Inn
Greatest Radio Personalities on Earth: Bob n Tom, Dave "The King" Wilson.
WNAP, WFBQ, WTTS, WIFE, WIBC
David Letterman, Reggie Miller, John Mellencamp, The Pacers (in the 90's), The INDY 500!!! The party in the infield, DURING the Indy 500. The entire month of May when the Pacers are in the playoffs, plus month-long Race Festivities.

People ask "Got plans for Race Day?" like they're asking "Got plans for the holidays?".

Beautiful, warm August evenings, with cicadas chirping, orange summer sunsets, the ice cream truck calling from the next street over.

Awesome country roads winding between sky-high fields of corn. Great dope-smoking roads...

Tornadoes, tornado warnings, tornado drills in elementary school. Breathtaking thunderstorms, wall-shakers!

Barefoot in dewy grass, crickets, lightning bugs, crawdads, rabbits, squirrels, red wing blackbirds.

Brown County State Park, Nashville and fried biscuits with Apple butter.

And trick or treating in the rain. Every. Single. Frickin. Year!
