My first experiences with Terre Haute

I came to Indiana State my sophmore year. Coming to Terre Haute was a whole new experience for me. You see I'm from Fort Wayne and am just use to seeing a different atmosphere, but Terre Haute has grown on me. Yes the mall is not really something to be desired, but that can be helped. This is such a beautiful city if we would fix up what the downtown area use to look like in all it's glory. This city could really shine again if we would take pride and step up and make something of this place instead of tearing down the history of this city. Everyone probably won't admit it but they love going into old buildings. It's so cool to see how they use to be decorated and how the structures are different. Take for example the court house. It is such a beautiful building inside and out and it's a big part of the history here. I am so excited to start learning more about this city and possible how I can get involved in the remodeling of this city.
