Did you know?

Here’s a quirky little fact that I recently came across:

Have you ever wondered why Indiana is called the “Crossroads of America”?

Our state motto was adopted by the House of Representatives of the General Assembly of the State of Indiana (try saying that quickly) on March 2, 1937, only after an Evansville newspaper columnist wrote an article stating that Indiana had no official state motto. The meaning evolves behind the fact that the intersecting of important roads, railroads and waterways of the Nation occurs within the boundaries of Indiana.

Today, interstates 70 (east-west) and 65 (north-south) meet in Indianapolis which places our city within a one day’s drive to over half of the U.S. population!
