PURDUE: THE STUDENT UNION BUILDING
Rich62 Says: PURDUE has a a very nice student union that is worth your time to visit. Here are some photos.btw, the Grant Street Parking Garage (a multi-level facility) is directly across the street from the union. very handy.
Toughluck Says: The earliest european incursions into the area were by the French. They used the Wabash River as a roadway to and from the Ohio River and the settlements just north of the junction of the Ohio & Mississippi Rivers. The French arrived were here from before 1717 when the...

Toughluck Says: This place gets crowded on game weekends and parent weekends. It's a great place to eat. The food is good and you always know the quality will be there. BBQ, omlets, waffles, burgers, pasta, whatever you order will be good. Well cooked, presented in a pleasant way and...
Toughluck Says: As authentic as you can get in the US. It's not a showy place, with the Habachi Grills in the middle of each table. It's more of a traditional Japanese place. The TV is running a Japanese Language program, (sounds off, but the Japanese sub-titles are running). Background...
Toughluck Says: Saturday Howl Night Programs at 7:30 pm. Saturday Nights, Wolf Park allows visitors to experience the Wolf Howl at Dusk. Plan warm clothes and a late night. The howl is at dusk, and you'll be leaving in the dark.
Nick's Nightclub and Bar: Nick's
mcpweev Says: Formerly Nick's Billiards and Bar, it's reopened as Nick's Nightclub. A new dance floor, two semi private lounge areas, two full bars, and a dj Thur-Sat create the new concept. Still has six excellent pool tables as well. nothing set in stone, but they'll turn you away if...
weirdly_cool Says: CityBus is the main mode of transport around Purdue, seeing that they have a lot of Campus Loop services (Gold, Silver, Bronze, Ross Ade, South Campus) and a couple of others that run through campus (Tower Acres, Tippecanoe Mall, Salisbury, Purdue West/Klondike, Market...
University Bookstore: Purdue Spirit!
Marisola Says: When you visit Purdue, you've got to visit the bookstore and get the gear! Support Purdue Spirit and wear the school colors! They even have Purdue T-shirts in your favorite colors here! Buy a banner or a bumper sticker! Be a Boilermaker! Look around... They have pretty good...
whatsanenigma Says: You don't need to go to the bookstores to get Purdue tee shirts, mugs, postcards, whatever. You can get them at Discount Den on Chauncey Hill. Just be warned-this store has a lot of things that are not exactly "family friendly." And try to get your food somewhere else-they...
rileynoor Says: here at Purdue University, where every which way you turn is against the wind, there's almost always snow. and with snow comes the Ice Polishers errr snow removers. the catch is, by the time the staff gets around to attempting to remove snow the snow is already packed from...
sticki Says: Snow removal around campus doesn't just involve the removal of snow. No, our tuition dollars bought a fleet of Ice Polishers, which cleverly polish the underlying ice to a brilliant sheen, to the peril of anyone silly enough to try to walk to class on the sidewalk. Also, I...
Toughluck Says: In 1838 some 800 Patawatomi Indians, being forcibly remvoed from Marshall County to Kansas, camped along this road, the LaGrange-Logansport State Road. On this "trail fo dearth', scoresof Native Americans suffered and died. The mother of Chief We-wiss-sa, said to be over 100...
Toughluck Says: Located in Lafayette, across the river is the county courthouse. It's a unique gleaming white steeple.For a sample of other County Courthouses in Indiana, see my Courthouse travelogue
Toughluck Says: The park is open to the general public from May through November and Saturday evening for Howl Nights. The park is home to several packs of gray wolves, plus foxes and bison.Every school kid from our area, travels to the park and spends the afternoon learning about the...

grkboiler Says: I have gotten plenty of questions on this, so I will answer it here - Purdue's mascot is the Boilermaker. A boilermaker works at a steel mill, railroad, shipyard, oil refinery, factory, etc., making and repairing boilers that supply steam for power. They also make and repair...

Little know historical attraction
bmks Says: Be sure to check out the watchtower in Cairo. Take Salisbury St. North all the way to county farm road. Go north on county farm road past Harrison High School and follow the road past 725 north. Road curves W then curves N. Keep following road and don't blink you eyes until...
Toughluck Says: Located north of West Lafayette on County Road 500 N, just east of County Road 75 W. Today, it is a private home and not open to the public. Most one-room school houses are gone and this is a fine example of the support for public education that this nation had.

West Lafayette is just... wow, what can I say? It's a pretty small city with many of the conveniences of a larger one, what with nearly 37,000 students innundating the small burg during the school...
I went to school at Purdue University. Which is, I'd imagine, the only reason that any young person would move to West Lafayette. If you're visiting, it's either to check out Purdue, or to go to a...
In 1891 a sportswriter first called the Purdue athletes "Boildermakers" after they defeated Wabash College 44 - 0.
