"For My Sister, Tina"

.

Tina, this has been around for the last five years or so, but thought you and others who live far away might appreciate seeing these changes in Evansville.

First off, we have a dinosaur downtown pointing the way to the Koch family "Children's Museum of Evansville" (cMoe)... my grandkids from Cincinnati love this place!

Below is the home of cMoe... yes, it is the former building for the Evansville Central Library that has now moved to its new home a few blocks away.

Below is a photo of the new Central Library - a very nice facility. It is across the street from The Center in the southeast corner. The northwest corner is where the Executive Inn used to be... Tina, I guess I will need to show you photos of that in the next few days or so.

As you can see there is lots of construction going on with the demolition of the Executive Inn on one corner and the demolition of the parking garage on the other.

These photos were taken at a place that is only a few years old in Evansville...

Do you know where it is?

[Answer below]

Photos are of the Children's Museum of Evansville (cMOE). The building it is housed in is the old one used by Central Library. This is one very cool place for kids & their parents to have a great time!!!
