Visiting Jake’s Roadhouse Again

When I was in school at Purdue one of my favorite hangouts was Jake’s Roadhouse. I would meet a friend there every Friday on our way out of campus for a couple of drinks. What I didn’t know was that my future wife would have been there at the same time with her friends. It would be over a decade before we would meet, but it was cool to find this local place that we both enjoyed. We would play our townie roles and visit Jake’s for calzones during the summer when the students were gone. Of course we haven’t done that for a while now as Jake’s is scheduled to be taken down as another high rise is schedule to go up.

A New Feature

When this blog started I had a Throwback Thursday that I did for a while. It was a fun way for me to share old photos that I made during my photo 365 project. It broke things up a bit. I thought that I would bring that back with a little twist. I would find an old building and look back on what it used to be. In some future cases it will be buildings that I know are scheduled to be torn down. It is a fun little way to preserve a little local history, and also for me to learn about my town. I have lived here for 12 years now on this second go around, and there is still so much that I don’t know. This is a fun way to get out and explore and learn a little bit. What better way to start this project off than with a place that I loved to visit.
