I know this is old and hinges on your favor of trump, but I have more respect for Sen. Young after this and his breaking away from Republican shenanigans regarding this border security.

    This is who I was previously talking about. I didn’t realize you were local.

        👋🏼 Previously (1991-2002) West Lafayette here.

        Moved back to my prior, more lefty Minnesota where family is, but miss some aspects of Indiana.

          I’ve only been in that area a handful of times. I went to Wolf Park and we’ve been to Feast of the Hunter’s Moon a couple of times. That was great.

          It really couldn’t be. Have you been to Terre Haute? It makes Youngstown look nice.

            I’ve passed by on I-70 during various road-trips but never stopped. If it makes Youngstown look nice though must be one hell of a shithole.

              There is a reason to stop if you are of a certain political persuasion- Eugene V. Debs, who ran on the Socialist ticket in 1920 from prison and got a significant percentage of the vote (only 3%, but for a socialist in the U.S., in prison no less, that’s amazing), was from Terre Haute and there is a museum there in his former house. Bernie Sanders took a sideline from his campaign in 2016 to make a private stop to see the museum.
