The Answer automotive repair shop is a fairly popular (reputable?) company in Evansville, IN.  I was having some problems with my 02 Dodge Durango, so I had it towed in.  That's where it sat, for over 3 weeks, without one courtesy phone call.  Here's my story. The problem with the Durango was an intermittent problem, but not so much that it couldn't be replicated.  However, it took me giving THEM a call every few days to check on the status, where I was told they were just working on it.  At which point, I gave them just under 3 weeks and informed them that I would be picking it up, upset at the...

Rural King in Evansville, IN last night was the location for gun fire and white trash excitement.  Apparently, the shooting started with an argument over who stole an Apple iPhone.  Apparently the male shooter felt the electronic device was worth more than a dead woman, because 2 shots were fired.  Luckily, no one was killed. The real eye opener is that nobodies stories match up.  Everyone involved has a conflicting tale of what unfolded in the Rural King parking lot.  They should just throw them all in jail until they get their stories straightend out.  Thankfully, I only shop at Lowes, so I was...

The first Thursday of every month is free admission to the Children's Museum of Evansville.  At the beginning March I took my family there, which includes me, my wife, and 18 month old daughter.  Needless to say, we all had a blast, but be prepared to bump some elbows on free night. First of all, parking at CMOE is no problem, there is plenty of space down town in the evening to find a place to park close to the museum.  We parked less than a block away and enjoyed walking up to the building, where a Tyrannasaurus Rex is perched showing you the way.  My daughter loved the giant dinosaur sculpture,...

I saw in the Courier that Berry Plastics was planning on the addition of a new assembly line that would add upwards of 400 jobs.  While this isn't enough to cover the lost jobs here in the Tri-State, it is a step in the right direction.  The construction of their new facilities will be on the corner of Morgan and First Avenue. They had to demolish a building on the corner where they are constructing the new facilities.  This was an extremely dangerous intersection, because the old building blocked view of oncoming traffic, when turning north or south on First Avenue.  Hopefully with the new...

In January 2009 there was a nasty ice storm that hit Evansville, In.  My yard, like others, was covered with up to 6 inches of ice in some places.  Luckily, this never knocked out my power. It's been a few months, but I'm just now getting around to posting pictures of this ice storm.  These are pics from my front hard and a close up of some of the small trees I had out front.  We were lucky, compared with some people in Kentucky, who I know still don't have power.
