While we had fun in the hotel's pool and the Victory Theatre downtown is a really nice 1920s era theatre, I found downtown Evansville bizarre. After my daughter's dance team finished their performances in the morning, we went out with other parents and their kids to have lunch.
Nothing was open.
Even the fast food joints were closed down on a Saturday afternoon. It's mid-March obviously, and that part of the country (Midwest/Border State South) is just downright dirty from the remnants of winter, but it didn't seem like a sketchy down area to me.
But, damn, downtown was vacant. The community of Evansville seems to have written off its chances to have a vibrant downtown on the weekends.
