I have been waiting for the SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!

Sims, 80, stuck in the country between IN 13 & 513 close to another famous S town Swayzee.

Sims use to be a huge baseball & softball tourney burgh so it has a ball diamond, church and a grain elevator. I think maybe 2 stop signs. Nothing else but homes.

Swayzee, IN 1,500, is the only Swayzee in the world and home to the 1960's something state basketball champs with the record setting 9 overtimes in the state finals. That record still stand today.

Swayzee has a flasher on St. Rd 13 has a few churches, an old time butcher meat market, 1 gas station, a beauty shop, bank, PO, library, John Deere place, tavern, antique mall and an ice cream place. We had to kill time when at the Sims ball diamond so Swayzee was the closets town with activity. They are about 3 miles apart.

Guess there is something to running your kids all over the state of IN for sporting events huh? Sorry for naming 2 towns but they are so close related.

Warrenton, home of the oldest restaurant in Indiana, the Log Inn. Abraham Lincoln ate and slept there while on the campaign trail before we was elected president (I think I have that right).
