In a nutshell
A small Metropolis
Marisola Says: The Sacred Heart Basilica is a magnificent work of art on the Notre Dame Campus: gorgeous, Gothic-inspired architecture, beautiful French stained-glass windows and vibrant, colorful artwork on the interior. A nice place to visit for a mass, a prayer or quiet reflection.
Marisola Says: The Word of Life Mural, A.K.A. "Touchdown Jesus," is a famous landmark on the Notre Dame Campus. It is a huge mosaic of Jesus on the library building, facing the football field, with his arms raised, cheering on the Irish! It is visible from the field, so players can see...
Trace the Trails Around the Campus
Marisola Says: One of the most beautiful college campuses, Notre Dame is filled with beautiful trails for walking around. There are many colorful trees and also two beautiful lakes: St. Joseph's and St. Mary's. Pick up a map online or at the Eck Visitors Center (next to the bookstore), or...
Ischyros Says: HealthWorks is a museum dedicated totally toward children. The museum teaches kids about their health and their bodies, which only makes sense since it is part of the Memorial Health System. I believe the museum would be best enjoyed by kids age 12 and under. It is located...
sambarnett Says: This Prairie-style home defintely stands out from the other homes on Washington Street. Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1906 and originally owned by Kersey DeRhodes, a prominent South Bend businessman, it is one of two FLW designs in South Bend. Note that it is privately...

Le Peep: Best Breakfast and Brunch!
Marisola Says: Le Peep is a breakfast and brunch restaurant chain found in 14 states. Their menu has lots of classic breakfast items: eggs, skillets, benedicts, pancakes, waffles and crepes, as well as salads and sandwiches, but with a lot of more options to choose from. I ordered the...
Oaken Bucket: Burgers and Beer
emilypeg Says: The Oaken Bucket may not look like much from the outside, but it has some great burgers on the inside. It is a local hangout where you can feel comfortable bringing your family and at the same time college students can get some good food for cheap. The interior is rather...
DRINKING and Cruising the bars: FUN FUN FUN
Phlebas2 Says: lots of bars to visit.. Make sure to check out McCormick's Coney Island, on Michigan St. and then pop around the corner to Vicky's on Monroe St. Still a few DTSB "exotic dance venues to vist.. but hurry they are going as fast as the free parking. See link below Dress in...
South Shore Line to South Bend
emilypeg Says: If you're coming from Chicago or Northwest Indiana to South Bend and don't feel like driving, then hop on board the South Shore! The South Shore runs from Millennium Station at Randolph Street in Chicago to South Bend Airport; with a number of stops in Northwest Indiana...
Go TRANSPO the MIshawaka mystery
Phlebas2 Says: Ive come to the conclusion that Town and County Shopping Center is a actually a vortex where you can either end up on a bus to South Bend, or a Bus to Mishwaka and still end up at University park with no way back. If in doubt ALWAYS carry a master transpo schedule and be...
Down Town South Bend: Shopping made EZ
Phlebas2 Says: Alledgedly :"Downtown South Bend is home to over 50 retail stores covering a wide range of merchandise. : Reality: Shopping in DTSB is simple.. THERE is no place to shop for any basic necessities. Robertson's FAMOUS 7 story Department Store ( "Save a 1/4, save a 1/3 save a...
Hammes Notre Dame Bookstore: Everything Notre Dame!!!
Marisola Says: Besides books, this shop has everything Notre Dame! You can buy clothes, books, pennants, glassware, etc.! There are two huge floors for shopping! There's even a cafe where you can stop for a coffee! A Notre Dame T-shirt or sweatshirt would be ideal. They have them for men,...
Do not make EYE CONTACT with ANYONE
Phlebas2 Says: One of the most charming things about a visit to MODERN DTSB is the fact that 8 out of 10 people DT SB are not there by choice.. The other 2 are either cops or vagrants, (read article in link below) so generally avoid making any direct eye contact with anyone on the streets,...
Phlebas2 Says: "Michigan Street Bridge is falling down, falling down, fallling down...So is the Chase Tower, and the parking garages, and.."Seriously.. Winter time means ice, snow, salt. Melt, freeze, and repeat.Then a spring thaw will come eventually.I'm thinking beware of anything made...
meteorologist1 Says: Don't be surprised to find the South Bend area's water tasting a little funny, or tasting differently from the surrounding areas like Chicago, Michigan, or Ohio - where the taste is more normal. The ground water supply is probably different here. But this is nothing to worry...
A trip down memory lane to "Safetyville".
Phlebas2 Says: When I was young South Bend was a very safe place..We were constantly reminded not to j walk, to look both ways, and to drop and roll. Police were friendly and helped remind children to play it safe and look out for dangers.Ah the 60's.. where did they go..Those days when...
Phlebas2 Says: gotta love Murphy's Backyard 3601 Mishawaka Ave.Sure its sort of a Biker Bar.. BUt what a NICE crowd.. Sort of a Cheers.. with a great juke box and a nice motorcycle crowd.. I hope they never do away with the free hotdogs on Sat. afternoon. Almost ALWAYS something "neat" to...
Marisola Says: If you love football, you should love this place! From the moment you enter this place, you are surrounded with it!General admission is $12, but there is a reduced rate of $8 for college students and under.
Marisola Says: Notre Dame is one of the most prestigious college football teams in history! Their fans are everywhere, and everyone wants to go to the games! Their stadium holds over 80,000 fans, and is always sold out! If you're planning on going to South Bend, try to get some tickets --...
Phlebas2 Says: Though free entertaiment is sort of at a minimum, during the daylight hours South Bend provides and interesting "Urban Excursion" There are still several historic buildings to see, including the newly renovated Morris Performaning Arts Center, and the ajoining ball room....
