When I give tours, one of the most common questions I get is, "What do students do on the weekends? Do they stay in Greencastle or go to Indy??". My answer is - students at DePauw get the best of both worlds... they can do both! And this past weekend was a perfect example of that...
Thursday night, my boyfriend came down to visit from Chicago. We wanted to make it a low key night so we rented a few movies in town and just hung out in my duplex. Friday night, I took him to a cute, old-fashioned Italian restaurant right outside of downtown Indy. Indy is a very cool city to explore. There is so much going on!! After dinner we went to a show at Comedy Sportz, an interactive comedy show. SO FUN. It was relatively inexpensive to see the late-night showing of an 'improv jam' and definitely something that we don't get to experience everyday.
Saturday morning, we headed back to Indy and went to the Indianapolis Museum of Art (IMA). Coming from Chicago, I had my doubts about the museums (in my opinion, it's hard to beat the Field Museum or Art Museum). We loved it! Surrounding the whole building are gorgeous gardens that are open to the public to walk through. Afterwards, we went out to a fun sushi restaurant in Broad Ripple...I had no idea there was so much to do in Indy!
Sunday, if all of the activity wasn't enough for us, we played 9 holes of golf at the Windy Hill Golf Club here in Greencastle. I really love how Greencastle has more to offer than jut a movie theatre and restaurants... It's so easy to go hiking, biking, golfing or swimming at the local pools around the area. And Sunday was the perfect day to go golfing...
So if you ever have any concern about Greencastle or Indianapolis...just keep this post in mind. Because at DePauw you get the best of both worlds - a nice, quiet town to have fun and a big city near by to explore, day or night!
