During our first day of class, we discussed some of Terre Haute's interesting facts. I am from Terre Haute, and I have lived here my entire life. Therefore, I already knew most of the information. Terre Haute has had its rise and demise. It used to be a city of scandal and invention. Currently, Terre Haute has a law that prohibits a certain amount of women from living together. This law was initiated from a time when Terre Haute had many brothels. There were several on first and second streets, close to Indiana State University's Campus.
Terre Haute is also the home of the Coca-cola bottle and Clabber Girl Baking company. Clabber Girl now has a deli and a museum, it is interesting and the food is good.
As we discussed in class, many historic buildings have been torn down in the area. An example of this is the Terre Haute House. This was a huge, and very beautiful hotel. However, a few years ago it was torn town and replaced with the Hilton Hotel. There was also an orphan home on 25th and Wabash streets. Now, Starbucks takes its place.
Terre Haute seems to have several "owners" as well. For example, the Hulmans. They have a lot of money and property in Terre Haute.
