Let's make a quick trip downtown. There's not much to see in Hope, Indiana...that is unless you grew up here. I have two dollars in a peanut butter jar buried somewhere, I need to see if it's still there.... |

Here's something you see every day, at least in Hope, Indiana. New York has Broadway, we have the bandstand. It resides in the park on the town square. It's a nice place to listen to the grass grow. |

...And here we are in beautiful downtown Hope, the urban capital of the world. At any given time, there are the sounds of civilization. Tractors driving down the middle of the highway, the squeaking of the park swings, a different dog barking every minute. And no, pigs and chickens aren't allowed on the town square. Not officially.... |

|
...and here is the Moravian Church. I don't know what a Moravian is, but they founded Hope about 175 years ago. |

Watch out!!! Highway 9 is our heavily travelled pipeline to the outside world. Kinda like that autobahn thing....so be extra careful crossing the road. |

|
...And here is some of the fine greenery that graces our fair city. This gardener must be very proud. I'll bet all of his fingers and toes are green, not just one of his thumbs. |
