Why Does Evansville Stink?

I first noticed one of the residents of Evansville on Twitter asking why Evansville stunk.  Figured it had something to do with his specific location.  Unfortunately as soon as I walked outside I smelled what seemed like a pile of rotting wet rags. Since then there have been 2 others mention the stench that seems to be moving all over the city.  Of course there hasn't been an official response or comment in the media, Hoyt of Channel 14 WFIE made an observation. Likely farming. We did a story out of Gibson Co. about using turkey litter which has strong smell when it gets wet and warmer. So, if you...

Price Around At The Same Best Buy

I'm a child of the internet, but even so I still haven't came to terms with buying large purchases online.  Rather, I can't stomach buying hardly anything online, no matter the price.  Some of the problem is that I'm an immediate gratification kind of person, when I buy it, I want it now, now after a few days shipping.  Also, I just don't like the idea of my info floating around and not in the intertubes, but rather to whoever Joe Blow happens to be looking at the order database. Because of my fears I always price items online and then try to buy them locally.  This usually ends with me paying a...

Video Of Cold Geese At Garvin Park

Spent my lunch break walking around Garvin Park yesterday.  I'll head over there on a regular basis to eat my lunch in peace in my truck, but yesterday I wanted to get some video of the ducks and geese walking on ice.  I also shot some footage of kids that instructed me that they were the only ones that fed the hungry animals, so it was their job to take care of them. Without question, I know the cold animals appreciated the fresh bread. I hope that I can film more events and locations in Evansville, as time allows. If you have any recommendations or things you would like to see, please let me...

Why Is Downtown A Bad Word?

Why do you think downtown, in regards to Evansville, is such a bad word?  Anyone you talk to has an opinion and generally it creates a heated discussion on what can, should, and shouldn't be done.  This type of argument generally doesn't happen in comparative sized cities, so what gives? Is it possible that downtown Evansville has been created without the consent of those that matters, the residents of Evansville?  Consider that some projects downtown have faced tough opposition, no matter the out come for as long as I can remember.  Casino Aztar was the first big change that happened downtown in...

Not A Snow Storm, 09 Was A Snow Storm

The snow that dropped on us last night was not nearly wet enough to create a snow ball or a snow man for that matter.  But it does look pretty and hasn't created terrible conditions, as far as I can tell. I did enjoy the fact that I only had to brush the snow off my windows this morning, instead of scraping and chipping at 1" of ice like last January.  That's right, remember the January 09 snow storm?  This wasn't a storm, this was a light dusting of sprinkly goodness. Hard to believe that the storm moving through last night was supposed to surpass the nastiness we had in December of 04, at least...
