Remembering the Deliciousness of Dixie Cream Donuts in Owensboro, KY
It's National Donut Day and I am celebrating with a look back at one of the most delicious bakeries in the history of Owensboro, KY! Do you remember Dixie Cream Donuts?. My friend and coworker Dave Spencer certainly does. He shared a memory recently about his grandfather stopping by Dixie Cream and "snagging a box of 'day-olds' on his way home from church."

Indiana pizza lovers! Have you ever had pizza from here before? If so, do you think it's the best pizza in the state?. Who doesn't enjoy pizza? Whether it be hand-tossed, thin crust, or deep dish, no matter what toppings you prefer, there are always some delicious go-to pizzas here in Indiana. We have so many local pizza restaurants that might not get the love that they deserve. From takeout joints and holes-in-the-wall to restaurants, diners, and cafés that serve up some tasty slices of pizza, the options are endless. Honestly, that's where I believe you will find the best pizza in Indiana, not at some of these major pizza chains.
Bring Ketchup if You Visit the Grave of This Kentucky Icon
You've likely heard his name, seen his image, and even tasted his famous fried chicken, but here's how you can visit his final resting place. There are several well-known figures with Kentucky roots.

Dolly Parton Announces New Line of “Dolly Wine”
Soon you'll have a something brand new to pour into your "cup of ambition" now that Dolly has officially launched her lovely line of "Dolly Wine." Dolly did an interview with the New York Times in the 1990s that she prefers red wine. “I don’t know too much about different kinds. But I know I like the kind that has a little of that dryish feeling at the end.” So, not much of a connoisseur, but she is hoping to connect with her fans and friends in a new way.
Indiana is Home to One of the Best Lasagnas in the United States
If you love lasagna as much as Garfield the Cat does, then you're going to want to try one of the best lasagnas in the country. If I have one food weakness, it's Italian food. It's no lie when I tell you that I could eat it every day...if my better half would allow me. Spaghetti, lasagna, ziti, alfredo, chicken parmesan, the list goes on and on. As a child, I was always told that I would turn into pasta one day because I ate it so much. I'm still waiting for that to happen. Nevertheless, it's safe to say that if pasta is the topic of conversation, I am 100% on board with it. I could talk all day about the deliciousness of carbs and sauce. That's why I was immediately intrigued when I saw a list of the top twenty spots for lasagna in the United States.

34 Years Later: A Personal Look Back at the Ohio Valley Tornados
On June 2, 1990, a string of tornadoes ripped through the Ohio Valley. The storm devastated parts of Indiana and claimed the lives of several Hooisers. Emergency preparedness is something we all hear a lot about, and for good reason. You never really know when disaster will strike. About a week ago, my wife and I were without power for about a day due to a big storm in Gibson County. Things got pretty bumpy, and we even saw a transformer burst into flames after it was struck by lightning. We made it through with minimal damage to our home, but it could have been a lot worse. In fact, there was one storm that occurred around this time over 30 years ago, that was significantly worse.

Things You’d See in a 1980s Garage
Garages in the '80s were less about parking your car and more about being a catch-all for everything you needed to get out of the house as consumer-driven culture kicked its jazzercised butt into high gear. It was also a place where parents (okay, let's face it, Dad) could "tinker"—a...

Eight Indiana Cities Included on 2024’s Worst Cities for Bed Bugs
If you travel to any of these eight Indiana cities, check for bed bugs before laying down at night. You've most likely heard your parents say "sleep tight, don't let the bed bugs bite" when they tucked you into bed as a child. Nine times out of ten, bed bugs weren't something that people really had to worry about in their homes. Heck, you might have thought that it was just a dumb saying that your parents would just say for the fun of it. However, bed bugs are very real. According to Orkin:
