Vanderburgh County Electronics Recycling Day

If you have unwanted or broken electronic devices you have been meaning to get rid of, your chance to do so will come soon.

If you're like me, you probably have quite a few items in your home, garage, or shed that don't work or you just aren't using. Things like electronics that you have been meaning to get rid of, but just didn't know what to do with them. I'm talking about a broken DVD player or TV that you can't just throw out in the dumpster. With spring cleaning on the horizon, you might be ready to make some more room in your home/garage. If you live in Vanderburgh County, your chance to get rid of those old and unwanted electronics is coming up in April.

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.

An Evansville resident recently posted a question in the "I Grew Up in Evansville, Indiana" Facebook group asking other members to share any hidden or little-known facts about our city not many residents would know. The answers were wide-ranging, covering everything from our manufacturing history to our place in Civil War, to a couple of popular landmarks still standing today that were the first in the entire state of Indiana. No matter how long you've lived here, chances are there will be a few things on this list you didn't know about the city we call home.
