Back Home in Indiana: Wabash

Hoping for better vision, I returned to Wabash, Indiana. The last time, found the city a bit closed and -to me- hostile. Not too much has changed and the same feelings are still with me. Wonder why it is some locations are open and others are not? Will return again later in the summer to try and understand. (click on image to enlarge)

Warren, Indiana. If you are a "bikie" then you understand the double meaning-Sky Bike. Think ATOC. (click on image to enlarge)

Back Home in Indiana: The Pulse Opera House

The Pulse Opera House in Warren is Indiana's oldest operating opera house. Built in 1884 by Captain Silas Pulse. It was the second story of the general store owned by the Captain. The opera house served as a town meeting hall, dance hall and theatre. Today it is a home for local theatre productions. While many local theatres offer a standard list of productions-Music Man, Song of Music, Our Town, etc.- Duck Hunter Shoots Angel seems a bit different! (click on image to enlarge)
