Comments on Nostalgia pages

The city pages and the nostalgia pages have joined forces in Nostalgia, an e-magazine here. After all, living in small towns is nostalgic, for we have the life that all the city folk fondly remember. You can learn a great deal about Bluffton or see drive-in restaurants and car shows. Visit an auction or see a huge Winchester gun collection. Take side trips to James Dean’s Fairmount Indiana, Gene Stratton-Porter’s Geneva Indiana or the Indiana Historical Radio Museum. Enjoy.

After you read all my pages, visit the Official Bluffton Indiana website

For more small town atmosphere, visit Fairmount Indiana, boyhood home of James Dean, or find out about Gene Stratton-Porter and her Limberlost Swamp, in Adams County. Also see the new pages on the Indiana Historic Radio Museum in Ligonier, Indiana.

Arnold’s 50s Drive-In Restaurant in Decatur, Indiana rocks and rolls! Arnold’s Drive-In raised $1,800 for Lydia Murray’s liver transplant! This is a darling restaurant with perky people, inside and outside dining and a most unusual neon sign. There is a new 70-seat 1960s room in the back of the restaurant now.

Wow, this is unique. A never-to-be-repeated benefit, a show of the most complete Winchester collection ever, along with Dale Krinn’s Civil War and Native American memorabilia. Did you know they used to use a buffalo bladder for a canteen? Worked very well. Live and learn, at Our Tentative Times journey through Dale Krinn’s Gun Show
