evansville bicentennial

Evansville is 200 years old and Downtown is still not Finished! Just kidding, in all seriousness it has been 200 years since Hugh McGary bought 200 acres along the Ohio River that is now Part of Downtown Evansville.

Today marks the day that Evansville, Indiana became a city two hundred years ago.  So, while our forefathers were building, I'm sure they had no idea this ground would one day have deep fried turkey testicles in October, or an Expressway that had stop lights, but there were other things going on in the world at the same time.  What were they?  Well, let me tell you.
