Our waitress was sitting at the bar chatting with the bartender. The food was good, but again the atmosphere was way too "casual". They didn't even turn on the lights in the dining room for us. We sat by the window and ate with natural lighting. The "specials" for today were from the day before. Again food was good but not unique nor cheap. They did seem to have a lot of carry outs. Maybe that's the way to go.

The course itself, while short, is tight, tree lined, and requires a disciplined and strategic game. The food is also some of the best in town.

Dena is great in organizing events and keeping people abreast as well. The only gripe? There could be more umbrellas out by the pool.

As a wheelchair user, this can occasionally be complicated but I nearly always consider it to be worth any extra effort needed. This is very much the case with Fowler, Indiana's little gem of a theatres known as Fowler Theater. Originally built in 1940, this art deco theatre was rescued in 2001 by the Prairie Preservation Guild, a non-profit started with a mission of saving this once beautiful theatre that had fallen on hard times. They bought it for $30,000 and received a $2,000 grant from the Historic Landmarks Foundation and a $60,000 line of credit. Then, they went to work. The theatre actually opened that very year in December, though restoration has continued over the past 20 years. Detail paintings were done by David Orr of Sapphire Theatre Company out of Indy. Like many similar theatres, when originally built Fowler Theatre was a state-of-the-art technical marvel. In fact, it was one of only five movie theatres nationwide to premiere Gone With the Wind. Unfortunately, as times changed the theatre deteriorated and ownership lacked the means and willingness to invest in its upkeep. People stopped attending due to its condition. It was when locals discovered the owner planned to completely shut it down, sell off valued vintage pieces like the marquee, and turn it into a warehouse that the town committed to a different fate for the Fowler. These days, the movie theatre is run entirely by volunteers. Word has it that they've never failed to show a committed screening due to lack of volunteers. Think about that - in 20 years they've never failed. They committed early on to keeping screenings affordable and family friendly. Adult tickets are $6, children under 13 are $4. Concessions range from $.50 to $5. It is worth noting that tickets are cash only. Fowler is about 30 minutes outside Lafayette. It's a fun day trip and the town itself has quite the reputation for being haunted. The theatre hosts a variety of screenings and events. For example, right now you can actually catch "Sing 2" at the theatre. You can rent the theatre for screenings, parties, weddings, etc. - the price is affordable at $150 plus concessions. You can also rent the marquee for $26 per day. They also offer advertising on the screen - $60/month for for-profits and $40/month for non-profits. The Fowler Theatre has been on the National Register of Historic Places since 2004. Screenings are Friday-Sunday with one evening screening each day. The interior has art deco and art moderne elements. The marquee is still the original marquee. The original theatre could seat 442, however, current seating is 196. Around 2012, the Fowler was closed for a few months for more extensive renovations including restrooms and improved accessibility features. It's definitely a place where I feel comfortable and it's easily one of Indiana's best retro theatres. If you love classic movie theatres, a day trip to Fowler/Lafayette is a must.

This was my first time ever racing on dirt and it brought back a lot of memories as a kid going to a dirt track in Florida with my dad. The track owner took time out of his busy schedule to help teach me how to race on the dirt and other racers were more than glad to help give guidance as well. Plus I got to enjoy having beers with everyone until 2am. I've been racing for years and this was by far the best night of racing I've ever gotten to enjoy. If you havent been to Kankakee County Speedway yet hop in the car with your family and come on out. I flew all the way from California and im gonna do it a lot more next year because race nights at Kankakee County Speedway are worth that much. Thank you Smitty and Team. I look forward to seeing you again and racing more at this awesome track.

We had our wedding at the train depot a few weeks ago. I will never hold another event there. Don't…read moreget me wrong, the place is beautiful, and it was the right size for our event. We had the worst experience with Peggy and her "assistants". The first time we met with Peggy she was very nice and willing to help us make the day perfect. After we signed the contract that all went away. We met with her a few times leading up to the wedding. Her story and pricing would change every time we spoke with her. She told us the contract was out of date and that she does not go strictly off of the contract and that it was just a formality to hold our date. We were told the price we owed which we were fine with. Then the week before the wedding she wanted to meet with us again. Her and her assistant tried to charge us over double the agreed upon price. She was the one who told us when we could get in the Depot the day of the event given the price we paid (Goes by hourly). She told us to come at 2:30pm and then charged us an extra $100 for it. Things she told us came with the rental price we paid she quickly tried to turn around and charge us for. She was very rude and unprofessional. They put together a timeline for the wedding day which was completely opposite of what we had wanted. It only gave us about 10-15 minutes for our ceremony and only 20 minutes for pictures. They were rude when we told them we needed about 20 to 25 minutes for the ceremony, and more time for pictures. Our vendors have said they do not want to do weddings here because of her rudeness and unprofessionalism. She told me for months that they do all the setup, that I was to bring in the decorations and do 1 table to show them how I wanted it and they took care of the rest. The day before the wedding comes and we set up a table and Peggy was so rude to my mom who worked hard on decorations and told her "you don't expect me to do this?". She was nasty about it with mom and told her that there will be a fee if we set anything up. That was not in the contract and Peggy had been telling me for months that this was just something they do. Peggy made so many disrespectful comments about our decorations. We were contracted to have the building until 11pm. At 8:30pm the air was shut off and they were trying to push us out the door. Many of our guests have told us they saw her drinking our beer for our guests. She has posted pictures of our wedding without our consent (and yes, I checked the contract). We contacted the city to get this addressed and they just give us the run around saying meetings are scheduled and we will get a call back within the next few days. We have called multiple times and just keep getting the run around. It is a shame because the money is used for events downtown, but to deal with this kind of person does not make it worth is. She was a nightmare to work with. NEVER AGAIN!
