The children's department was incredible--so many books for little readers, fun activity stations, and the friendliest staff. It was such a welcoming space, and my girls had the best time exploring. It was my first time visiting this town, and I definitely wasn't expecting a library this impressive. Safe to say we'll be making the drive back!

And of course, lots of books for adults, children and teens with quiet places to sit and read. The facility got its start from a Carnegie grant totally $22,500. The original limestone building opened in 1906. Today, some of the original Carnegie stairway, scrollwork and leaded glass windows can be seen in the Children's area. In 1988, a significant expansion added square feet, improved accessibility and modernized the former library. Each section of the library is named for a benefactor that provided funding. There's a sense of community pride throughout the facility. I took my granddaughter and she spent an hour playing and exploring in the children's area. The staff even provided take home project kits for her. She also bought a book in their resale shop. The staff is friendly and knowledgable. There is free street parking in front of the building. Worth a visit if you like libraries and architecture.

The stroll across the Wabash is not that difficult and the bridge easily accommodates a large number of people. Festivals are held here. As part of the revitalization, a new multi-purpose building is going up next to the plaza which will provide a large patio area overlooking the plaza and bridge. Across 2nd Street is the "Gateway" (see separate review). On the bridge, the "Millenium Sundial" was created in 1999 by artist David Aho. It stands nearly 8 feet tall on a 4 feet square base. The sculpture is on the Lafayette side of the bridge close to the south railing. Although it may have been moved during construction, there was also a memorial sculpture east of the bridge along the upper area of the plaza. The memorial sculpture is called "World Split Assunder" by local artist Mark Parmenter. It was dedicated on Sept 11th, 2003 on the second anniversary of the tragic terrorist attack. The sculpture shows the twin towers with the Pentagon turned on its side to look like a rising star. The towers and Pentagon are made of aluminum. The base of the sculpture is made of limestone and includes a globe that has been split in half with the halves located on each side of the towers. The overall height of the installation is 12 feet.

Oh. My. Gosh. I walked in early on a Friday morning, waited about 30 seconds to be called by the most professional BMV employee I have ever met (and I've lived in six states). She was helpful, thorough and competent as she renewed my drivers license. I will go back to this branch every single time I need to have something done. Excellent customer service.

I went during my lunch hour and it took about 30 minutes to get from the end of the line to when someone called the number I took, which is pretty decent for the BMV during lunch rush, in my opinion. Make sure you bring everything required for whatever you're doing, that seemed to be the source of many customers' attitudes and frustration. Staff were professional.

The turbines are majestic as they rise from the farmland and whirl with the wind. They are placed at different angles, so sometimes, because of how the wind hits them, there are a few that aren't spinning . Generally, however, most of them are magically doing their work of creating electricity. In the daytime you're treated to this huge array of beautiful dove gray or white spinning giants, dotted all over the countryside. At night, they are equally - yet differently - stunning, as you're surrounded by their red blinking lights. Day or night, they are a delight to see. On each side of the highway there are rest areas, where it's fun to just park and watch the turbines spin. There are those who decry wind turbines, saying that they kill birds. I have driven literally right next to a bunch of them many, many times over the years, and there isn't one dead bird anywhere near them. Perhaps when they were first erected, some birds may have flown into some of the turbines, but I have seen birds safely flitting all around the turbines. Birds seem to be able to adapt their flight patterns accordingly. When you get a chance, take I65 north of Lafayette to see these beauties. You won't be disappointed!
