Residents in a Northern Vanderburgh County neighborhood are feeling a little safer, now that an alleged burglar wearing a clown mask has been arrested. Photo: Vanderburgh County Sheriff’s Office MasksFolks in the Wellington Acres neighborhood shared photos on social media of someone wearing a clown mask and allegedly stealing from vehicles. It is scary enough to have someone going through your personal things, but the clown mask elevates the fear a bit, don't you think?

The Easterseals Cool Car, Cold Cash Raffle is back, and it’s one of my favorite local fundraisers of the year. Why?

What You Drink in a Heatwave Matters, And It’s Not Just Water

5 days ago | my1053wjlt.com | Liberty DeWig

According to John Hopkins Medicine you should drink water before you are thirsty. I am so bad at that. I'll drink water first thing in the morning, and then it just doesn't seem appealing. Sometimes I will add some electrolyte powder since I know that I'm not drinking enough water. In addition to water, sports drinks are a good option. But, soft drinks with caffine, coffee, and alchol will only contibute to dehydration.

1 week ago | my1053wjlt.com | Liberty DeWig

Okay, when I hear 'Dora', I immediately think 'Dora the Explorer', but she's not what this new development is about. DORA stands for Designated Outdoor Refreshment Area, and it’s a game-changer for downtown events and strolls. Here’s how it works: If you’re 21 or older, you can buy an alcoholic drink from a participating bar, restaurant, or brewery within the DORA zone, and then take that drink with you as you walk around, shop, or enjoy live music and events outside.

When you pass a gas station, you probably don't feel the need to stop in and see if they have fresh bakery donuts. That is, of course, unless you are familiar with The Windmill Bakery, which was a hidden treasure inside a gas station. Photo: gas station LibIt was a cold day in 2015 when regular customers of the Circle K on Highway 41 North discovered that the donuts were not the same. The Windmill Bakery closed, and the new owners had donuts delivered from a bakery in Kentucky.

A recent study lists the Hoosier state in the bottom seven of the most patriotic states in America. So, we have to figure out why Indiana is one of the least patriotic states in America. If you believe the experts and their research, Indiana is number 44 on the list of 2025's Most Patriotic States. Texas, Florida, Arkansas, Louisiana, Alabama, and New York are also in the bottom 7. This study is based on military engagement and civic engagement.
Evansville Weather Spotters Help NWS Confirm Friday the 13th Tornado

It kind of seems like weather spotters are kind of trendy right now. Or that could be the sites and people that I follow. Either way, with the proper training, weather spotters play an important role in recording weather history. Photo: NWS friday june 13We have had some really weird weather in the Tri-State this year. Take last Friday, for instance. The forecast called for a chance of rain and scattered thunderstorms. Scattered was certainly the case. The East side of Evansville barely saw any rain.
A Small-Town Staple Says Goodbye: Princeton IGA Closing June 14

You might not think of a grocery store as part of a town's history, but when it is the small town of Princeton, Indiana, it certainly has helped make memories. I know of more than one relationship that actually began in the grocery aisles, too. When Buehler's Buy Low first opened in the mid-1980s, it was a pretty big deal to have such a large grocery store. There was a pharmacy, a health and beauty section, a floral department, a deli, a bakery, and a VHS rental section. Times have changed.

Market on Main is not only a great way to support local farmers, food trucks, and makers. It is also a very important service to residents in a food desert neighborhood. Evansville Countryside OrchardA Food Desert is an area where it's difficult to buy affordable or good-quality fresh food.
