Evansville, Indiana's Riverfront Cascade Sunrise Pump Station

Over the past several years, Evansville's Riverfront has gone through some pretty positive changes. The latest project has a real big-city feel to it.

Have you seen the latest addition to Evansville's riverfront?

If I didn't already know that this amazing new structure was in Evansville, I wouldn't believe it. Not that we don't have nice things, but the riverfront isn't exactly known for that.

This part of the water feature sounds like a relaxing waterfall. I wouldn't suggest trying to play in this though, it's not the spray park.

In an effort to inform the public on the types of invasive species that are known to be found in their state, the USDA offers a "Pest Tracker" on their website, where you simply click the name of your state from the drop-down menu provided to see pictures of the different insects and weeds, along with descriptions of the type of plant life they target and the damage they can do if they're not dealt with.

See How Downtown Evansville Has Changed Over the Years

I find looking back on the way things used to be fascinating. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad I'm living through the current time period. The conveniences of answering any question we have in seconds, or ordering practically anything we want or need and having it delivered to our doorstep is pretty sweet. But, there is something fun about seeing how things around us have evolved. As an Evansville native, and spending quite a bit of my time in downtown Evansville (that's where the station is located), I've always appreciated the older architecture of the buildings around the area. So, I dug into the Willard Library Archives to see how a few of those areas look now compared to then. Some have changed a little, others quite a bit, and a few don't even exist any more. Take a look.
