My kid brother just came out to visit for a week. Besides just seeing his face, my favorite part was strolling down memory lane with someone who actually shares those memories with me. Oh you know, it's fun to do that with your spouse or a good friend, but unless they were there, it's not the same. He said he remembered a restaurant called Caves and Caverns. I didn't remember that one at all! But others I did - Victoria Station, Farrell's and Burger Chef-which became Hardees/Carl's Jr., Laughner's Cafeteria, Nora Theater, Ayr-Way, (which was sold to Target). Hooks drugstore and Standard grocery store. Flower City. Then there was our old Jr. High and Elementary school. The Ice Dome, and the old country club we use to go to, The Riviera Club. It still looks the same, mostly.
All our old neighborhoods. Riding our bikes for miles and miles and miles, on country roads that are busy highways now. It was pretty fun.
My guy did some totally rad car stuff with him. World of Wheels, the Dallara Indy car Factory and the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum. The museum was neat because they had taken out a lot of the race cars to make room for a really cool display...in honor of Indiana's 200th birthday, they were displaying all the cars that had been made in Indiana! I learn new things all the time!
It was SO great to see him and take care of him :-)
