hoosieranna Posted March 18, 2007 Posted March 18, 2007 I was born and raised in Fort Wayne. My family is still there. Anyone else from the area?

Sojourner Posted March 18, 2007 Posted March 18, 2007 Born in Lafayette, raised nearby, most recently lived in Indy, now in MN.
hoosieranna Posted March 18, 2007 Author Posted March 18, 2007 Cool. Thanks for responding. Incidentally, the subtitle is supposed to read "I don't bite", not "I don't bi".
Sojourner Posted March 18, 2007 Posted March 18, 2007 There are a few more hoosiers who post from time to time: Pio Nono (seminarian), Track1004 (or whatever the number is), Knight of the Holy Rosary, PedroX (doesn't post much anymore) ... I think that's it.

Has it started flooding there lately?
Sojourner Posted March 18, 2007 Posted March 18, 2007 They're talking about building an interstate from Indy to Evansville. People are all up in arms about it. Don't know about the flooding, though.

We also referred to the part of campus between the chapel and one of the halls as "Lake UE". Thanks for the info.

Love the area! Went to USI but around UE is just such a nice part of town- good neighborhoods Nothing really new in the Ville, like usual! They've added some things to the riverfront. UE is adding on to the southwest part of campus- not sure what building it's going to be. It matches the rest of campus so it looks nice. We had some bad flooding a few months ago (not sure exactly- horrible memory especially with time)! It got the south side of town bad. My basement was full of water- thankfully, I rent...so I didn't have to mess with any of it! I'm moving to NM here in a month. I sure will miss E-ville but God will provide...

Nothing wrong with USI, either. But I don't think they had archaeology. I'll have to visit UE when I'm there in April.
hoosieranna Posted March 19, 2007 Author Posted March 19, 2007 One of my fellow grad students graduated from U of E. He really enjoyed his time there. I mostly know it as an engineering school. Also, my uncle is Hal Wolford. He used to be on the news in Evansville. Anyone ever seen him doing strange things on TV?
Pontifite 7 of 10 Posted March 19, 2007 Posted March 19, 2007 I'm a Hoosier! Born and raised in the south of the great Hoosier State. Fr. Pontifex from down here too.
JuCa Posted March 19, 2007 Posted March 19, 2007 Archaeology Cat- you could hit up a Father Pontifex Mass when you are in the Ville.. his parish is about 5-10 mins from UE... not far at all.

I'll probably go back to Owensboro to go to Mass with my Aunt, but it would be nice to know all my options.
WillT Posted March 22, 2007 Posted March 22, 2007 Wow! So many peoploe from Evansville on here! I'm not from there (acyually from southern Illinois), but I have family there. A grandmother and an uncle with his wife and four kids. My uncle is actually the head football coach at Reitz (sp?) High School, and of the Evansville Bluecats. It's a really nice city. I enjoy visiting. It would be cool to pop in at Fr. "Pontifex"'s Mass. What parish if you don't mind saying publicly?

I was raised at Blessed Mother, but I don't really like it there anymore. I go to the mall in Evansville every now and then, but that's about it. My dad can't stand hoosiers, for some reason. Are they always crappy drivers, or is it just me?

I know the pains of living in the Great White North (St. Paul, specifically)...how could you...? I'm from Washington, IN, and Fr. Pontifex's parish in Evansville is Holy Spirit Catholic Church.
