Fire Emblem: Awakening
Could someone explain to me what is going on with the marriages in my game?
So I was all set to have Chrom marry Olivia, you know, because people say that's the way to go. She shows up all pretty and I think okay, maybe this will work out, I'm happy for them. But all of a sudden we get to killing King Gangrel and Sumia shows up, and apparently he's always known that she's the one for him, etc, etc, ever since they got to C rank and she promised not to tell anyone about that one time he fell down. Okay. I mean, I don't really blame him. Sumia is a hot apple pie and the queen of murder. And Olivia sucks. Her dances refresh just one unit? Just one? That's not how you pull your weight in the Ylissian army, Olivia.
It's just, you know. I was going to marry Sumia. She stabs things. I stab things. She spells things. I spell things. Together, our child would have been the greatest conqueror in all of Westeros. We were the only promoted units and the army and things just made so much sense when we were together. We were B rank together, Sumia. Doesn't that mean anything to you?
All of this happened so fast and now they have a child together and it's been two years but I feel like I haven't done anything with my life since that horrible moment when he proposed to her out of the blue. Do I settle for that try-hard "pretty" pegasus knight, Cordelia? That crazy yandere Tharja? Or go back in time and prevent this unholy union from ever occurring? Please help me. I feel lost and confused and betrayed and broken and I just don't know what to do.
P.S. I'm +Spd -Def, lunatic mode, best units are Sumia (Dark Flier), Avatar (Grandmaster), Panne (Wyvern Rider), and Cordelia (Pegasus Knight) in that order.
your problem was C-ranking Sumia. at that point you had to marry her off to yourself.
I am Inigo. Ladies, smile you are all beautiful!/Official Husbando of Nah<3
... You could marry Sumia before that chapter, and solve that problem.
ya if any of Chrom's potential wives have C rank or higher then they take priority over Olivia for the forced marriage.

ChromxSumia is actually a good pairing. While you might not end up with the pairings you want the kids won't be horrible.

I'm prepared to live with the consequences of my actions, but who should I go for now that Sumia's gone? I was thinking Cordelia, though I'm not sure our kid will be a powerful mage. I mean, she's an ace Pegasus Knight, and pretty, and less clumsy, and not Sumia and oh god I'm thinking about it again, I have to stop thinking like this. Okay. I'm sorry. I'm fine.
But seriously, Sumia was the only other mixed attacker on my team, so who should I pair Avatar with in order to get another mixed powerhouse?

text: food banks Food Friday: Food Banks Billy Brown, flickr Listen Listening... / 51:00 We're fast approaching the holiday season, and while many are already planning and shopping for their holiday celebrations, others are struggling to figure out how they will get food on the table. We're here with Natasha Pernicka of the Food Pantries for the Capital District to talk about food banks and how we get food to those in need. Food Stamps A Concern As Farm Bill Nears Senate By Dave Lucas • May 7, 2013 As the Farm Bill moves through the Senate Agriculture Committee and eventually on to the full Senate, New York U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand leads one-third of the Senate in calling for the protection of critical food assistance, urging her colleagues not to balance the budget deficit by cutting food stamps. The Farm Bill under consideration would slash $4.1 billion in food stamps funding over the next decade. Government statistics show that half of food stamp beneficiaries are children. "Legal Food Frenzy" Aims to Restock Mass. Food Banks By Lucas Willard • May 3, 2013 Billy Brown, flickr The Massachusetts Attorney General's office is now encouraging legal organizations across the commonwealth in a food drive that aims to restock the state's food banks at a time where donations are needed the most. From now until May 10th, bar associations, district attorney's offices, and other legal organizations across Massachusetts are collecting food and monetary donations as part of the 2013 Legal Food Frenzy. The statewide food donation drive is now entering its fourth year. The program is spearheaded by Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley. Food Pantries Struggle To Meet Summer Demand By Paul Tuthill • Jul 18, 2012 WAMC Food pantries are in dire straits this summer. Programs that feed the poor are seeing rising demand, less government help and higher prices for food. WAMC"s Pioneer Valley Bureau Chief Paul Tuthill reports. An emergency food pantry in Springfield Massachusetts had to close temporarily for one day last week after its shelves went bare.

Curiouser and curiouser...
Just back from my GP who originally found this issue. He reviewed the information from the hematologist and we talked. During the course of that conversation, I mentioned that the hematologist had said that my indicators for rheumatoid arthritis were off the charts even though I don't present with any symptoms and she wanted me to see a rheumatologist. He checked my chart, got a big smile on his face, and you'd have though I hit him with a cattle prod. He got real excited and almost started dancing from foot to foot. He's mumbling things like "I like it. I really like it", all the while typing madly on his little computer with one hand and filling out forms with the other. Then of course, his nurse comes back in to stick sharp pointed objects in my body once again and withdraw some more of that which should have remained inside.
As it turns out, even though I don't have any outward signs of rheumatoid arthritis, I still may be harboring it. And more importantly, it can have a significant detrimental effect on your white cell count. So the sharp pointed bit was to start working on the necessary diagnostic panel. They're also setting me up to see a rheumatologist. Who'd a thunk?
I think this means I'm rare. Do you suppose I can charge admission?

Additionally, Judge Drain held that the term "transfer" as used in 546(e) does not encompass "obligations incurred" and as such does not prevent avoidance of a loan obligation that would otherwise fit within the reach of § 546(e).

Recipe by Carol

egg whites
1 teaspoon
cream of tartar
1/2 teaspoon
1 1/4 cups
white sugar
3/4 cup
sifted cake flour
egg yolks
1/2 teaspoon
orange extract
1/2 cup
sifted cake flour
1 teaspoon
vanilla extract
We have completely rewritten the directions to this recipe for clarity. Hopefully this will resolve problems experienced in previous reviews.
Well, this cake was a dismal failure for me. The flour/yolk/extract mixture was way too thick, and did not blend at all with the egg whites. (Was there some liquid missing?) I had to throw the whole mess away and have someone bring a store-brought dessert to Easter dinner. Guess I'll keep hunting for that perfect daffodil cake recipe....

I LOVE THIS CAKE!!! It is so delicious and light and easy to make.
I loved this cake. It's just like a cake we used to buy at Easter-time at a local bakery that has since gone out of business. The lemon cream-cheese frosting was the perfect touch.
Not impressed at all.When you mix yolk mixture with whites, it doesn't blend well and is sort ot curdled.Is there some flour missing in the ingredients?I ended up throwing it out and making something else instead.
I had alot of trouble getting the yolks to blend well with the cake flour and then when I baked it, the yellow part of the cake was very dense and dry. The white part was very good (angel food consistency) and the cream cheese lemon frosting was delicious. We dipped strawberries in the extra frosty - yummy!
I am making this cake right now for Easter and I hope it turns out as great as it sounds. The recipe should mention when adding the egg whites to the flour and yolk mixture it turns out speckled with the egg and flour mixture or at least that's what happend for me. I hope that is what was supposed to happen. I've got my fingers crossed. Otherwise I can't wait to taste this cake. Thanks
First, the Lemon Cream Cheese Frosting is wonderful. However, the cake itself was not thrilling to me. It was flat. Either I over beat the eggs or something but it was not fluffy. Second, I would recommend using a nonstick coating spray in the pan. Especially if you do not have a nonstick tube pan. It did not come out clean. In fact, it broke.

FOX Sports Exclusive
This is the Cowboys team we expected
Share This Story
But Dallas came back, thanks to its defensive front. That unit, with some help from the special teams, won this game. They put constant pressure on Matt Ryan, sacking him four times, forcing three fumbles (one recovered) and two interceptions. Ryan entered the game having only been sacked twice in his first five games. The Cowboys were also impressive with their balanced offense, with 28 rushes and 29 Tony Romo passes. The running game, even with the return of Felix Jones, struggled, but Romo found his rhythm and played his best game of the season. He took off and secured some drives with some first-down scrambles while completing 21 of 29 for 311 yards and three touchdowns. Romo's new best friend, Miles Austin, got behind Atlanta's secondary for two touchdowns and finished with 171 yards in his first start. This is the same Austin who scored twice, including in overtime, to beat the Chiefs. Before the bye, Dallas survived in a pretty shaky win in Kansas City. And by beating Atlanta, they finally beat a team with a winning record. It could end up being a pivotal win when deciding playoff berths. I also liked that they were very aggressive on defense, willing to put their bodies on the line. Rookie Michael Jenkins may end up being fined for his helmet hit on a Falcons receiver, but this is football and it will show future opponents that the Cowboys are willing to hit you. I didn't like the eight penalties, but Dallas is in position to make a little run. They have Seattle, Washington and Oakland around two road games in Philadelphia and Green Bay. This team looks like it has a chance to do just that.

The Blowout VictorsThe Patriots went over to London and whipped the Bucs. Wes Welker (10 catches for 107 yards) proved once again how important he is to New England's offense. He is so quick and tough. The Patriots are still showing opponents a perceived balanced offense, but what the run game does is give Tom Brady some extra protection. Now, Bill Belichick won't be happy with the 10 penalties and the two turnovers. But New England must understand that Belichick has turned over his roster and to a certain extent they have become somewhat a work in progress, particularly on defense and when Welker was out of the lineup. It's looking like when the Patriots meet the Indianapolis Colts in three weeks, we'll find out where they stack up. The Colts remained unbeaten and they are a well-oiled machine. Peyton Manning is so efficient and so smart. The defense is built to complement their offense and having safety Bob Sanders back is big for them. The shoulder injury to rookie running back Donald Brown could prove to be troublesome because he has such big-play speed. The Colts play San Francisco and Houston at home before also hosting the Patriots. They could be 8-0 for that big game.
Lambeau next SundayI realize the Browns are hurting right now, but Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers wasn't sacked once, which earns a "wow" from me, considering a rookie tackle was protecting his blindside. That's two wins in a row for Green Bay and it was good to see them not overlook the Browns on the road.

Published on Nov 28, 2012 10:12 AM
Singapore Foreign Affairs Minister K. Shanmugam flagged off the Asean-India car rally at the F1 pit building this morning, amid much fanfare and excitement.
"The rally sets a strong foundation for cooperation between the two regions," Mr Shanmugam said at the event. "It highlights potential to do more to accelerate integration between Asean and India."
Present on the occasion were Special representative of the external affairs ministry, PS Raghavan, alongwith Dr TCS Raghavan, India's High Commissioner in Singapore, Mr Adi Godrej, president of Confederation of Indian Industries (CII) and other dignitaries.
The eight-member Team Singapore, which includes two female participants, is led by Mr Leslie Chang, 49, general secretary of the Singapore Motor Sports Association. "The first phase of the rally was an amazing experience," said team member Dr Tan Poh Hen, 52, a general practitioner. "Our team is geared up for the next phase," he told The Straits Times.

Suzuki sees sales, hiring increase for PH market
Suzuki Philippines Inc. sees a 10-percent increase in motorcycle sales along with a 20-percent hike in vehicle sales as it opens more dealerships and brings new models into the fast-growing Philippine market.
Company president Satoshi Uchida said the Japanese manufacturer aims to sell more than 100,000 motorcycles from the 94,000 sold in 2012. Bike sales in 2011 reached 93,000. This will entail a corresponding increase in employees, which means the company will be hiring new people for various departments to support growth.
Uchida said he sees growth in all sizes of motorcycles as consumer spending grows in the Philippines, encouraging motorists to buy their first or even additional motorcyles or vehicles.
Suzuki aims to sell just under 6,000 vehicles this year, Uchida told reporters. In 2012, Suzuki posted 13.4-percent growth to 4,501 units sold from 3,968 units in 2011.
To support growth targets and take advantage of higher consumer spending, Suzuki is expanding its dealership network in the Philippines.
Suzuki may add 5 to 10 car dealerships all over the Philippines this year, Uchida said. Already, the Japanese firm has opened its first fully integrated automobile and motorcycle dealership, located at the corner of Bautista and Finlandia streets in Makati City. In 2012, Suzuki added 5 dealerships to close the year with 25.
"Metro Manila is still our strongest market in the Philippines but Visayas and Mindanao are also showing great sales potential," Uchida said.
The Kizashi, a sporty sedan set against segment leaders Toyota Camry and Honda Accord, is one of the models Suzuki is pushing.
The Philippine market is hungry for compact cars that are fuel-efficient and environment-friendly, which is exactly the segment Suzuki has been focused on, Uchida said. Suzuki is exploring new territory, however, with the luxurious yet sporty Kizashi that was launched only last year.
The Japanese manufacturer had focused on compact and economical cars until recently. The subcompact Swift, the all-purpose APV, the economical SUV Jimny, and the value-for-money SUV Vitara are among the company's more popular models.

Lineberry Carts
Lineberry Carts have become incredibly popular in the last couple of years after Restoration Hardware repurposed and popularized them as coffee tables. Originally Lineberry Carts, produced by the Lineberry Company of Wilkboro, North Carolina, were used to transport luggage at railway stations across the country.
The carts come in several different styles with the wheel pattern being the most noticeable difference between the designs. The carts that I have restored have had the spoke wheel, floral wheel and teardrop pattern wheels. Typically the metal pieces of the cart are all cast iron and the wooden frames are made of white oak.
Restored Carts are $425.00 plus shipping (local delivery within 50 miles of Detroit is free / Continental US $275.00)
Teardrop Wheel Pattern
*Corner posts were fabricated for a floating glass top
Floral Wheel Pattern
Spoke Wheel Pattern – frame of cart was stained with Minwax Early American stain (other carts show above had polyurethane applied to bare wood).

Weighing the Wisdom of Expanded HCV Screening
Strong 'one-health' connection exists between humans, livestock
The Patient with Hepatitis C
The Patient at Risk for HIV Infection
WHO reported two additional laboratory-confirmed cases of infection with Middle East respiratory syndrome, or MERS, coronavirus in Saudi Arabia.
To date, there have been 153 laboratory-confirmed cases of infection with MERS, including 64 deaths. Since Oct. 31, WHO has reported eight additional cases of infection, including one in Oman, the first in that country.
The newest cases include a 72-year-old man from Riyadh who had pre-existing medical conditions. The patient became sick Oct. 23 and was hospitalized Oct. 31. The second patient, aged 43 years, is from Jeddah. He became sick Oct. 27 and was hospitalized Nov. 3.
According to WHO, respiratory disease is the primary symptom of MERS infection, although diarrhea is commonly reported in patients. Severe complications associated with the illness include renal failure and acute respiratory distress syndrome with shock. WHO warns that patients infected with MERS may present with atypical symptoms.
"Health care facilities are reminded of the importance of systematic implementation of infection prevention and control," WHO stated in a press release. "Health care facilities that provide care for patients suspected or confirmed with [MERS] infection should take appropriate measures to decrease the risk of transmission of the virus to other patients, health care workers and visitors."

Playback singer Sonu Niigam, who still looks fit as a fiddle, admits that he is a foodie and if he wants he can easily gain a lot of calories.
'I love to eat. I control myself. If I want, then my weight can shoot up to 20 kg more. I control myself a lot,' the 38-year-old said here at a launch function of the Mangiamo Restaurant.
Sonu's list of favourite cuisines is as wide and as delectable as possible.
'I like Italian, Japanese, Lebanese, Indian. In Indian food, I like both North and South Indian food. I like Gujarati, Rajasthani, Bengali food. So, I love to eat,' said Sonu, who started his singing career at the age of 19 and tasted success with the song 'Sandese aate hain' from 'Border'.
Sonu was recently in news because of his son Neevan's version of Tamil-English number 'Kolaveri Di'.
Sonu's next song is for Karan Johar's forthcoming production 'Agneepath(2012)'. He is also working on an English album 'Spirit Unfolding'.

It's a big deal for a new kid on the block to get recognition from established artists in the business and August Alsina doesn't take his collaboration with Chris Brown and Trey Songz lightly.
The 21-year-old crooner talked to Sister 2 Sister about his success, losing loved ones and how music is his therapy.
Find out more about his rags-to-riches story in the January 2014 issue and get a preview now.
Calvin: How did you get to collaborate with Chris Brown and Trey Songz?
August: That's something right there, man. That just happened organically, just by doing me, and I tell people all the time that you can go a long way just by being yourself. I had just finished a show in Virginia and it's ironic because they're both from Virginia. Trey heard my song. He reached out and said, "Hey man, I just wanna let you know that I f#%k with you. I'm a fan and you that new kid on the block, and whatever I can do to help I wanna do." He sent over the verse and I heard it and I was like it makes all the sense in the world to go get Chris 'cause this is the young poppin' movement. So, I had everybody in my squad reach out to Chris and Chris was like, "Man, I already heard the original and of course I'll do it." It's my very first single. I'm a very new artist and I still got a lot to prove, but with my very first single to be able to approach something so monumental like that and to be able to align myself with those type of people, it's no telling where you could go. Me, Trey and Chris, we done built something where it's a friendship. Like, those are my brothers and I can hit 'em 'bout anything and chop it up 'bout anything.
Get more from August in the January 2014 issue of Sister 2 Sister.

I ordered the part and just 1 1/2 days later, it arrived! Awesome!I took the cover off the ice maker motor. Then I simply unscrewed the three screws holding the motor in place (be VERY careful - the hinge mechanism that holds the ice maker on/off bar needs to be gently removed from the motor so the prongs do not break).Once the motor and ice maker hinge were removed, I simply pushed the new motor on, screwed all three screws back in, put the cover back over the motor, pushed the bar to 'on' and water flowed and ice was made! I turned it to Max so I would have lots of ice in a short amount of time then returned the switch to Normal and I've not had a problem since.

Saltwater– The saltwater buzz is about the Tuna bite right now. Both Bluefin and Yellowfin are being caught from Oregon-Inlet charters.

Tautog are available on ocean wrecks when weather conditions allow.

Saltwater- Bluefin Tuna catches are increasing greatly. A 405lber was caught on Monday, and since then, several 200 plus lbers have also been caught.

Saltwater – Bluefin Tuna have been reported from Oregon – Inlet charters. Bluefins up to 95 inches have been boated. On Wednesday, many were caught, but none were keepers. A few nice Trout were caught from inshore boats this week. Tautog are available on ocean wrecks, but interest is low due to unfavorable conditions on both sea and land.
Freshwater – Weather conditions continue to hinder anglers from getting out and reporting catches. Many of the pits on the lower James are iced over, limiting areas of less current for Bass … Read More »

Saltwater– Anglers don't have a lot to choose from due to ice, snow, and frigid water temperatures. Speckled Trout are about the only option right now. However, fish kills and icy ramps are causing many to lose interest. The Elizabeth River still offers opportunities for trophy Trout, but the bite is slow. Some areas of the James River can offer a good option compared to the Elizabeth. Ocean wrecks provide opportunities for Tautog but again, conditions can make launching a boat interesting. Tilefish are another species up for grabs for … Read More »

A California Christian university has asked a professor who was once its chair of theology and philosophy to leave after he came out as transgender.
Heather Clements [7] taught theology at Azusa Pacific University for 15 years, but this past year, he began referring to himself as H. Adam Ackley. "This year has been a transition from being a mentally ill woman to being a sane, transgendered man," he said.
Ackley, who is in his third year of a five-year contract at a school that does not use the tenure system, said university policies [8] seem to be silent about transgender issues, except that "Humans were created as gendered beings."
"I did not get a sense directly from the individuals with whom I was speaking that they had a theological problem with transgender identity," Ackley said. "I did get the message that it has to do with their concern that other people, such as donors, parents, and churches connected to the university will have problems not understanding transgender identity."
APU spokeswoman Rachel White declined to discuss Ackley's employment, citing confidential personnel matters. Ackley planned to meet with a university lawyer on Monday.
Ackley said he and APU have agreed to part ways and the university said it will continue to pay him through the academic year. But, he said, the university wants other professors to take over his current classes. He also said that his insurance was denied when he sought hormone treatment and "top surgery" for his chest area.
"They're giving me privacy to transition, but denying medical treatment to do that," said Ackley, who is 47, has two children and is in the process of getting a divorce.
APU is an interdenominational evangelical university of about 10,000 students and 1,200 faculty located northeast of Los Angeles. It is one the largest member schools in the Council for Christian Colleges and Universities.
APU students have 700 supporters so far for a change.org [9] petition supporting Ackley and calling for the school "to create a safer environment for students and faculty."
Transgender issues remain a sensitive and often misunderstood topic within religious circles and larger society. As the news trickled out on social networks Thursday, Ackley said he saw people making various assumptions.
"People assumed that I've done something, some sex act," he said. "I'm not violating any sexual conduct and it's embarrassing that it's implied. I live a very chaste life."
Ackley said that he accepted his transgender identity earlier this year after the American Psychiatric Association removed [10] "gender identity disorder" from its list of mental illnesses. After being on sabbatical in the spring, Ackley said it wasn't until this school year when he met with university officials about the change to inform the human resources department.
He was ordained in 1999 in the Mennonite Church but transferred his credentials to the Church of the Brethren in 2009.
In a YouTube video [11] posted Friday, Ackley wrote in a slideshow that he was raised in an "unconditionally loving family of Christian grandparents and hippie parents who allowed me to be myself — assigned female gender at birth but kept thinking I was a little boy, trying to be like my grandpa. …"
"As for many transgender people, my experience of puberty was especially confusing [non-conforming] and I became anxious, depressed, and hopeless," he wrote. "Gender bending in the late 1970s and early 1980s was a popular cultural trend that I embraced to get through my teens."
He wrote that he became a baptized Christian at 18 and was ordained a deacon, and "as I began to contemplate seeking a mate as an adult struggled to conform to the female gender I'd been assigned at birth — but still in men's clothes."
"I tried to conform to Christian womanhood as best I could," he wrote, posting pictures of his engagement portrait, the night before his wedding (described as "the last night as myself") and as a pregnant mother.
His first marriage ended in divorce, and during his second marriage, he said he was told by spiritual directors, spiritual support groups, psychological professionals, and medical doctors to try harder to conform to a female gender. "Yet treatment with hormones, therapy and prayer to make me more female led to physical, psychological, and spiritual deterioration," he wrote.
He said that as he was "privately struggling against Christian shame as a transgendered person, I secretly carved crosses on my body hidden by my clothing."
Using pictures to show what he did to his body, he said, "Told by my spiritual advisors and then spouse that recovery, sanity, and preservation of my family required me to deny my now recognized transgendered identity, I once again struggled with self-medicating self-injuring and self-starving of the female body during a suicidal relapse.
"… This is what Christian transphobia does."
He then ends with pictures of him smiling with his children. "This is what the power of the resurrection does: healing and new life — with my children," he wrote.
In a 40-minute sermon [12] at La Verne (Calif.) Church of the Brethren on Aug. 18, Ackley said he had never identified as a female but "I tried to be because I thought that's what I was supposed to be," he said, describing himself as a male eunuch.
In his sermon, Ackley said he struggled with depression and anxiety, but that the church has been there for him.
"I tried to be the best Christian woman I could be … but I have to accept something difficult about myself," he said. "I've never been fully myself, I've always been living a lie, not exactly on purpose but that was the best truth I knew at the time."

Highway cut path through city's history
Residents take drive down memory lane
EVANSVILLE - Curtis Kinney recalls starting to work at Austin's Drive-In on May 5, 1946.
"I lived just across the street and watched it being constructed, so I was happy to become the first soda jerk. ... I started at 3 p.m. and ended at midnight. My pay was 35 cents an hour with the understanding that I would get a nickel an hour raise after a while on the job. ... After closing, we still had to clean up the restaurant. For this, we were not paid.
"... We were the first business in Evansville to serve Sealtest Ice Cream. It was shipped in one day a week from Nashville. ..."
Kinney also remembers the "shapely" uniforms the curb girls wore.
"During my 16 months at Austin's — plus the summer after my freshman year of college — I had the opportunity to work at every job. I filled the ice cream orders, peeled potatoes for french fries, washed dishes, cooked and even managed the place during vacation periods. It was a great experience."
James Norton remembers the Maple Heights Tavern along Virginia Street, Ed Whitehead TV Sales, the Hudson Gasoline Station, Hickey's Garage and Frank's Frozen Custard that preceded Zesto on Morgan Avenue.
Darlene Daywalt, 80, worked at Water Falls Restaurant.
"The boys had inside jobs and the girls worked as car hops outside. I served ice cream and sandwiches. Red (Walter Daywalt) came in most nights and ordered a chocolate sundae and a root beer. He wanted to take me on a date, but I couldn't get permission because he was too old. Red was 18 and I was 15. In 1944, he got drafted and fought in the Second World War. We wrote letters. To make a long story short, we got married and have been together 64 years."
Jane Purdy, 70, has lived in Evansville all her life.
"I remember the tourist homes along Highway 41 and Kentucky Avenue from about Lincoln to Covert avenues. These were people's homes that had signs out front letting travelers know they could stay there for the night."
MaryAlice Rapp grew up on South Grand Avenue not far from the Zesto on Riverside Drive.
"Passing Walnut Street you reached ... Ellsperman-Schwartz Florist Shop. I can well remember the Veneer Works which operated at Highway 41 and Division Street that had a smell that was impossible not to notice. As kids, we held our noses shut until we got past there.
"Ted Cole's Barbecue was at the corner of Waterworks Road and Highway 41. Coming into Evansville from Henderson (Ky.), there was the Brown Derby, the Family Drive-In Theater and the House of Como. The Farmer's Daughter and the Humpty-Dumpty Drive-In were great places to eat.
"Continuing north you would find Lloyd's Variety Store and Blick's Pharmacy and then Cliff & Betty's Restaurant, which later became Dusty's. There was a grocery store owned by the Magazine family and Eddie's Marathon in addition to a fabric store."
Millie Jolivette often skated at the Whirl-A-Way Rink that was across the highway from the House of Como and near the old Farmer's Daughter.
"As a young girl, my friends and I walked from Bosse High School to the rink with our skates around our necks. We'd skate for hours in our short circular skirts and then walk home. Tired? Never."
Schymik's Restaurant sat on the corner of Kentucky and Riverside.
"My parents, Oscar and Catherine Schymik, started the place around 1940," Robert Fisher said.
"Catherine ran the kitchen and Oscar tended bar. At one time, they considered building a motel along the back of the restaurant, but there were rumors of moving Highway 41 to the east and they didn't follow through with those plans.
"Friday night they had fiddler specials. If we ran out, the kids would have to make a run to Harp's Fish Market. Saturday night was fried chicken night and we would have to run to Craig's Poultry Market to get more chicken.
"Neither place smelled very good. Oscar died in 1951 and Catherine kept the restaurant going until 1961."
As a girl, Linda Nash Mathena remembers a business on north U.S. 41 called Froede Trailer Sales.
"It was owned by Pete and Meta Froede, who also owned a trailer sales in Terre Haute (Ind.) where my father worked. Mr. Froede allowed us to stay in a used trailer while we were vacationing. We would shop Downtown, go to the Riverfront, the zoo and Ellis Park. The trailer lot was large ... and had a circular drive in and out. The trailers were spaced apart with small yards to make them attractive. Of the evenings, my sister and I would play around the lot while our parents visited with the managers, Elsie and Ted Clayton."
Charles Kuester remembers the Howard Johnson's Restaurant in front of the old airport terminal and Kraft Foods that had an office where Diamond Lanes is now.
"On the south end, Hamilton's Driving Range and miniature golf was built first with the drive-in coming later. In the early 1960s on Friday and Saturday nights, there was a constant stream of high school kids cruising through Hamilton's and then up to the Farmer's Daughter and then back to Hamilton's. If we were lucky enough to find an empty space, we might pull in and order something.
"The Family Drive-In was just north of the levee. Once in the early 1960s they had a fireworks display for the Fourth of July. They had set things up on top of the levee and were taking fireworks from a big box to where they had the mortars ... Shortly after they started, something went wrong and the whole lot went off at ground level. I remember seeing a worker running for his life along the top of the levee. I didn't see anything in the newspaper, so I guess no one was seriously injured."
From Bill Denton:
"The Robert Hall Clothing Store was once where Insight is today, and Lockyear Truck Stop used to be at the corner of Diamond and U.S. 41. Another restaurant south of Riverside was a little train car turned into a restaurant by the name of the Hottle House. They sold 10 hamburgers for a dollar. At 41 and Columbia was the Hudson Gas Station. They would sell used oil for your car in glass bottles for a quarter and give S&H Green Stamps."
From Carol Hudgions:
"The Greer Motel had a nice restaurant that I remember going to eat on Sunday after church."
From Jack Cassada:
"I grew up at the corner of Washington and Kentucky avenues. I recall Earl's Barber Shop operated by Earl Tabor and the Key Market that was run by Gene Young."
From Kara Combs:
"My father (Don Smith) owned Lic's Deli & Ice Cream and in 1963 purchased the original Lic's that was on Fares Avenue. When the new 41 came through, the store was torn down for it."
From Cindy Claspell:
"My grandfather, Arthur Mack, owned South 41 Motors, a used-car lot across from the McDonald's. Also down the street from the Roca Bar was the property my grandmother, Emily Leisure, owned where the Tackle Box Bait Shop was."
From John Bassemier:
"When the Little Sisters of the Poor were housed on Old 41, it was said to honk the horn once for each person in the car and they would say that many prayers for the occupants."
From Bryan Meng:
"My grandfather was Austin Hunt, who started Austin's Drive-In. There were seven kids in all — Don, Lonnie, Jim, Charlie, Mary, Elizabeth (my mother) and Terrie. Lonnie ran the business full time after his father passed away in 1955. Eventually, the four Hunt brothers started what is now Hunt Brothers Pizza which has 6,000 locations in 28 states."
From Brad Nash:
"I worked at the corner of Division Street, Kentucky Avenue and Canal Street intersection which back in the 1960s and early 1970s was U.S. 41. At that intersection was Midwest Equipment Co., Red Bird Gas Station, Goodwill, Sign Crafters, Art & Helen's Bar & Grill and Kimball Veneer Works."
From Steve Powell:
"In 1956, my father started a tool and equipment rental store at 101 S. Kentucky ... called General Rentals Corporation. ... He got his start using a building that originally was part of the old cooper shop of my grandfather's beer business on the corner of Old 41 and Canal Street. It was called the Wm. J. Wittekindt & Son Brewing Company. He hung on until Prohibition put him out of business. His beer brand was Hi-Hop. Years later, the property was sold to Truck & Mine Supply Company."
Betty Ralph was employed by Wick's Restaurant from 1958 until 1975. The eatery was located off U.S. 41 and Maxwell Avenue.
"It was one of the finest restaurants in the Tri-State. Prime rib dinners sold for $3.50. You could get a martini for 60 cents and a bottle of beer for a quarter."
From 1949 until 1962, Ronald Miller's father, James, operated the two-pump D-X Service Station at 2800 S. Kentucky Ave. next to the Brown Derby.
"Servicemen from Camp Breckinridge came and used two-dollar bills that was their pay issue. Regular gas was 22.9 cents a gallon with leaded 4 cents higher. During gasoline wars, the price for regular got as low as 19.9. Gasoline was cheaper in Indiana during those days and we got a lot of customers from Henderson (Ky.). We had an authentic grease pit and that enabled us to service larger vehicles.
"D-X had a livestock spray that was popular with the horse owners at Ellis Park. During the race meet we sold a lot of that product to the horsemen."
The business was near the old Hamilton's Drive-In that featured trap and skeet shooting on Sundays.
"We had the first station coming into Indiana from Kentucky, but there were several other stations in the area including Texaco, Standard and Shell. There also was a Busy Bee Garage run by a guy named Frenchy. I'm sure he had a last name, but I never knew what it was."
