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 former Indiana Historical Radio Museum that was once in Ligonier. Enjoy.

**********************LINKS OUT*************************

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, Indiana. 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
