​I grew up in the small Midwestern town of Columbus, Indiana. I lived there more than half my life until I moved away and traveled back on many occasions. I thought I knew it like the back of my hand, but somehow, on my last visit, I really looked at my hometown through a tourist’s eyes and discovered new things.

From the post:
  • "Growing up I don’t think I recognized the town’s uniqueness as I was simply trying to be a kid fitting in like any other kid."
  • "Clearly, my childhood was not so typical and perhaps I was being subtly brainwashed in the community’s design-centric spirit. I truly can’t recall ever thinking about design, but clean architectural lines in austere landscapes definitely feel at home to me. "

It's a fascinating story about a humble Renaissance Man who left behind the best kind of legacy -- one that's articulated in human relations and in modern architecture."

Roadtrippers blog suggests fun stops along Interstate 65

Picture

From The Roadtrippers blog: 
  • "What if we told you there was actually one of the most architecturally significant cities right off the highway or that you could see art made by a famous rock star right in the town where he grew up (that also happened to inspire some of his most popular songs)? There’s a whole lot of fun to be had right off southern Indiana’s I-65 with great history, architecture, pop culture, shopping, food, and even beer all around."
