Terre Haute

I never really understood small town America and what made WalMart worthwhile until I spent two years of my life in Terre Haute, IN. I now understand that in some parts of our country, a city is defined by whether or not it has a WalMart… and Terre Haute happens to have two… which means it’s a “bigger city” to most people living within a 50 mile radius.

The nice thing about Terre Haute is that because it has a small town feeling, there are plenty of “mom & pop” restaurants where you can get a great meal for a great deal. I’ve really learned to appreciate the benefits of the little local diner or bar with barely a sign on the building to let you know what it is…. you really can’t judge a book by its cover in this town because there are a lot of ugly lookin’ books with really great stories just waiting to be told… and all you have to do is open one up.

Eh. I grew up near here, I used to go to Terre Haute if I wanted to go to a movie or to the mall. A lot of my friends go to ISU and rose hulman. Terre Haute’s not a bad place, it’s not that exciting, and it smells because of the paper factory. Check it out if you want, and it’s fine to live there, but I wouldn’t go out of my way to get there.

Perhaps the worst food establishment I’ve ever been to has been in Terre Haute. I think it was supposed to be called Taco Casita, but the a and the i were missing, so it was Taco C s ta. 800x worse than Taco Bell. Ugh.

YOU NEVER REALIZE HOW MUCH YOU MISS HOME UNTIL YOU MOVE AWAY!!
IN A FEW YEARS I PLAN TO PACK UP AND MOVE BACK HOME TO TERRE HAUTE AND MAYBE LOOK UP SOME OLD SCHOOL FRIENDS AND GO FROM THERE!!!!

This is a fun party town to pass through. Didn’t find alot to do, but had fun doing it. When I drive through here I feel the need to turn the radio up load and drive really fast. Not sure why, oh ya I am but I can’t share that. :)
