The restrooms had mirrors, which differed from the Indy Speedrome. They were decorated pretty nicely too. They had a concession stand with food, and many stands and a few food trucks. There was a cotton candy stand, ice cream, and beer stand. The prices were pricey but not too terrible. It was $12 for adults and less for children. They take credit cards at the ticket booth, but the food stands you need cash. Unfortunately there weren't a ton of racers. It was still exciting, like I said, I love the Speedrome. But the main event, the figure 8, there were only 7 cars. The track is so big the cars barely made contact. There were 4 races and then the figure 8 to end the night. They have different types of cars in each race. One of the races they had minis, which were so cute! Hopefully they can get more racers involved. I'd hate to see the place not make it. It's a lot of fun and really exciting to watch!

I'd only seen Ball State University's Emens Auditorium on one occasion, though a recent opportunity…read moreto attend a concert here in which a friend was performing finally gave me the chance to really check it out. The basics: Emens Auditorium is part of Ball State University and is named after Ball State's sixth president - John R. Emens. It was officially dedicated in 1964 after years of planning and no tax dollars were used for what was originally a $3 million facility and Ball State's first capital campaign. Emens originally had 3,581 seats. However, due to upgrades and various seat replacements (along with accessibility upgrades) this is currently reduced to 3,309. Over 1,000 seats are in the balcony alone. There's no question that Emens is considered a regional facility of choice. Performances have included President Ford, David Letterman, Stevie Wonder, Louis Armstrong, Victor Borge, Magician David Copperfield, comedian Adam Sandler, musical Cats, and Les Miserables, Red Skelton, B. B. King, The Temptations, Third Eye Blind, and the Dixie Chicks among many others. Accessible parking is typically located in the lot to the east of the Health Professionals Building off Riverside Avenue. There's also a shuttle available for those unable to walk the distance. There's also an option for patrons to be dropped off in the circle drive located at the main entrance of Emens. Emens does have an accessible elevator and offers accessible seating throughout the auditorium (I personally verified this as sometimes facilities will say this but it's not quite true). Ball State, for the record, has a well-earned reputation as one of Indiana's most accessible college campuses. They also offer swing-arm seating (wheelchair users will understand this) to help with transfers. Emens offers Infrared listening systems for those with hearing impairments and will arrange interpreters with at least two weeks notice (this is a fairly standard time frame, though I'll admit it doesn't thrill me). Emens has restroom facilities on each level and two single-user, generally considered accessible, on the main level. The sound in Emens is pretty close to phenomenal. The event I attended was a more classic era music event and I found sound quality to be pristine. While I didn't move around a whole lot, anywhere I went the sound quality didn't change. Ticket prices obviously vary per event. Generally, I find public tickets to be a notch below your market rate since this is a college campus. Prices for Ball State students are usually quite phenomenal and considering the quality of shows here that's a huge perk of being a student. The same is true for refreshments - I wouldn't expect this to be like your usual concert venue, but there are typically some options available (anything alcohol related is a bit rare but does happen; Ball State is a smoke-free campus). While Muncie isn't that far from Indie, the never-ending work on I-69 can make it a bit of a chore. Getting to Emens is a bit weird if you've never been here and I'd definitely plan some "Do I turn here?" time for the first visit. However, it's easily worth it. Muncie also has a decent hotel scene if you want to stay overnight (I recommend the Courtyard by Marriott which is owned by Arc of Indiana and actively trains and employs people with disabilities). The one thing I can't answer (and would like to as a creative myself) is how accessible the stage/backstage area is for performers with disabilities. I'm going to try to explore this in future visits. Now that I've finally had the chance to experience the fullness of Emens, there's simply no doubt I'll be back. In fact, I'm sitting here looking at the calendar now!

The staff is very friendly and took care of us the whole time. So many trees, it does make the course a little difficult.

Cart paths are minimal, and sand traps were swamps. No water hazards except for one of the last 2 holes.. I can't even describe how good the BLT sandwich was I had at the turn. I thoroughly enjoyed golfing at the Anderson Country Club!

Every time I walk in the front doors, the smell popcorn and the building in general hits me in the face and I am immediately super happy!

Just last night I saw Beauty and the Beast and I have no doubt in my mind that I was just as excited, if not more excited, than all of the little kids in the audience! I was definitely more hype about taking pictures with the characters than the kids were! Haha! Civic can always be counted on to put on a good production. The 2016-2017 season will be magnificent!

If you're a James Dean fan or if you don't know much about him but you're curious to learn more,…read moreyou need to make this excursion and visit this incredible museum. James died tragically young and he had a very short career, but his talent left a lasting impression and created a legacy that's unmatched. His talent in the arts and in racing were incredible, and if you want to learn about either/both, they have tons of info and real memorabilia from James' family's personal collection here that touch on those themes, as well as lots of info from his childhood into high school, and some from his personal life before his death. Our docent was passionate about Jimmy and spoke of him like he was an old friend, which gave the tour a nice touch. The admission fee of $5 was extremely reasonable, too.

The James Dean Museum My daughter and I made a special road…read moretrip in 1993 to visit James Dean's childhood home, the cemetery where he's buried, Fairmount Museum (now the James Dean Museum) and the James Dean Gallery. I have glossy photos. I wasn't digital back then. If you're a fan of James Dean this place is a must visit. I was in a rough teen angst state when I saw the movie Rebel Without a Cause. In one scene he tells his parents looking at his father "you say one thing", (then looks at his mother), and says "you say another", then to both, "then you switch it all around again!" At that moment I had an out of body experience. Just how I felt, torn in half and angry since I was born. From then on I became the biggest fan. At one time when I owned a home the walls were covered with oil paintings and framed art all of James Dean. Every room had display cabinets with memorabilia. Nothing super valuable. Novelty items from my travels. I imagined charging admission one day to help me pay house tax! That was another lifetime ago. Now I have four of my favorite framed posters on the wall. I still have an old trunk with small items. Maybe one Winter Day I'll take photos. I love the little unusual collectibles I have left. I hope I haven't bored you. I guess I'm melancholy on his birthday. He was gone too soon. No one mentions his birth or death as was done a couple decades ago. I was a member of the fan club too. I wonder what happened to the fan club president. She lived in California. I still have her letters. I don't want to ever forget. The teenage Marianne full of frustration and anger is still a part of me. His expression of the emotions I felt as a teenager helped me realize I was not alone. I hope I'm still not alone.....
