Went to return a jacket I ordered online because of sizing issues that involve me not working out. I found that shopping on a Monday night after Thanksgiving is prime for avoiding crowds and enjoying parking lot Christmas decorations.

The West Baden Springs hotel is pretty much my favorite hotel in the entire state of Indiana. Built in 1902, its 6-story atrium was an architectural marvel of the time. (Honestly, it still is, if you ask me.) In the early 20th century up until the day the stock market crashed in '29, anyone who was ANYONE came here to "take the waters" and party like there was no tomorrow.
