Tom,
Have you seen the prices at French Lick? Even us "locals" cannot afford it. It is a beautiful hotel as is the one at West Baden but, outside of the hotels and casinos, there is not much to do. One can only partake of the Pluto water so long. Because of its location along busy train routes east/west and north/south, it once was a mecca for the elite (Hollywood stars, gangsters, politicos). But now the county is one of the poorest in the state and, shy of being known as the home of Larry Bird, it has been all but forgotten. I am always glad to hear about events coming there. The county needs the tourist trade. And, as much as I would love to see America, I will have to pass.
