I recently moved from Indianapolis. We would take a weekend getaway at least every other month. There are many places to go from Indy....Kentucky, Gatlinburg Tenn, Michigan shores. I've found a lot of cool little towns in Ohio...Fort Recovery, My Vernon. We would also go to Chicago, Cincy, Louisville, but those little towns are easier to deal with. I saw Edwin McCain at the Woodward Opera House in Mt Vernon Ohio. It's such a cool venue and a terrific little town. It's the oldest working theater in the country.
