00:00
So, what I remember about Lafayette, Columbian Park and the big swimming pool.
00:06
Barbara German was born in St. Elizabeth Hospital 85 years and two days ago.
00:11
She misses the curly slide, the free-roaming elephant, and the infamous Monkey Island.
00:16
The park's changed.
00:17
The Constant is its place in local families' lives.
00:20
I went there a lot in my life, and I'm still going.
00:24
Lafayette's been home for Robert Dix his entire life, and his fondest memories are going downtown
00:29
to buy records at Kresge.
00:30
They had all sorts of dollar or whatever, two or fifty cent 45s, and I was always grabbing
00:36
a bunch of them.
00:39
I didn't know what they were, I didn't know who they were by, I didn't care.
00:42
Kresge closed years ago.
00:44
Robert now enjoys getting his music from the Josh Holman branch of the public library.
00:48
Ellen Barker was born in Lafayette in 1945.
00:52
She grew up at Columbian Park in Congress Street, Methodist, and raised her family there
00:56
as well.
00:57
And though she misses the small town she once knew, the city that stands in its place,
01:02
she says, is pretty good too.
01:04
People say I want to move to Chicago or Indianapolis, well we've got all those things, just more
01:08
condensed.
01:10
They go to Indianapolis to shop, we've got a lot of good shopping here.
01:15
And I just think it's perfect.
01:18
And as far as weather goes, we've got fires right now, we've got snow storms the other
01:23
place, we've got hurricanes, we've got all kinds of bad things going on, but not in Lafayette.
01:30
In 200 years, our Star City on the Wabash has grown, changed, and been home to so many
01:35
of us.
01:36
