In a recent post here on MattChat about Marshall Illinois, I made mention of family trips to Terre Haute Indiana.
Which got me thinking.......
Growing-up, the "big city" for us was Terre Haute. We wouldn't go there super often, but when we did, it was a big deal.
One of the places that we'd drop by was the Christian bookstore. And there was a standing offer from Dad that we (my brother and I) could choose 1 book from the rack of Arch Books:
I don't remember how many of these we ended up with -- maybe 5 or 6?
But it was always a neat little souvenir from our trip to the "big city".
Out for now.......

p.s. other memories of Terre Haute trips:
- visiting the Brocks (friends of the fam)
- going to Honey Creek Mall, especially during the Christmas season
- Indiana State football games
- eating at Duffs Buffet and Shoneys Restaurant
- seeing matinee movies
- the smell of creosote
- buying my first camcorder (I think the store might have been called "Service Merchandise"?)
- dropping by the Hostess outlet store for Twinkies and Ding Dongs
- spotting the huge mining cranes between Paris and Terre Haute
- lots of curves on the Lower Terre Haute Road
