This location allowed the city to build a culinary tradition all its own. For generations, cherished eateries like Turoni's, House of Como and Hilltop Inn have served delicious and unique local fare like brain sandwiches, cracker-crisp thin crust pizza, Ski slushies, burgoo and more. In recent years, revitalized historic districts have housed cafés, coffeehouses and breweries that hearken back to Evansville's past even as they embrace the present and look to the future. Historian and University of Southern Indiana professor Kristalyn Shefveland explores the historic restaurants and contemporary legends that define two centuries of Evansville's food history.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tab-pane active\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tab-pane active\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePages: 128\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Arcadia Publishing\u003cbr\u003ePublication Date: 3rd August 2020\u003cbr\u003eISBN: 9781467140850\u003cbr\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"video-section-wrapper\" class=\"video-section-wrapper js-video-section-wrapper\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Arcadia Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36801607958694,"sku":"","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0491\/9312\/4006\/products\/image_1ab9eee1-019c-4922-b8cd-afac24a5d644.png?v=1604855216"},{"product_id":"images-of-america-southern-indiana","title":"Images of America: Southern Indiana","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSouthern Indiana depicts a distinctive place at a special time: the beginning of the modern era, 1910 to 1920. \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eDuring those years, this region of 26 counties, from which Indiana and much of the Old Northwest had developed a century before, was in transition toward consumerism and mass culture, as symbolized by automobiles, road-building, movies, radio, and popular magazines.

In the early days of the city, local newspapers harassed and bullied members of this group, even going so far as to encourage them to commit suicide. A series of murders in the 1950s and 1960s left Gay, Lesbian, and Transgender population of Evansville without justice and validation. The AIDS epidemic of the 1980s did the same. Happily, things have changed. Today, the city's LGBTQ community is out and proud, and thousands attend the annual Pride parade down Main Street.

Hundreds of distilleries dotted the landscape, beginning with the early settlements until 1920, when the vast majority were closed because of Prohibition. Many of the distilleries never reopened and became \"lost,\" with only old photographs left to tell this story of dedicated craftsmanship. In some cases, distilleries reopened during a \"bourbon boom\" when Prohibition finally ended in 1933, only to falter a few decades later. Some of those distilleries were sold and portions of the properties, like warehouses, reused by the new owner. Despite everything, bourbon distilling remains a major industry in the state--and a world-famous icon for Kentucky. Kentucky's Lost Bourbon Distilleries is dedicated to the many people who worked at distilleries that may be \"lost\" but are not forgotten.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"video-section-wrapper\" class=\"video-section-wrapper js-video-section-wrapper\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"video-section-wrapper\" class=\"video-section-wrapper js-video-section-wrapper\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-views-tracked=\"true\" data-impressions-tracked=\"true\" data-widget-name=\"review_widget\" data-auto-install=\"false\" data-id=\"8188854042920\" data-product-title=\"Strange Tales of Crime and Murder in Southern Indiana\" class=\"jdgm-widget jdgm-review-widget is-visible-desktop container--small jdgm--done-setup-widget\" id=\"judgeme_product_reviews\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-average-rating=\"0.00\" data-number-of-reviews=\"0\" class=\"jdgm-rev-widg jdgm--js\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"jdgm-rev-widg__header\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAbout the author\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThis is the sixth book in the Images of America series authored by husband-and-wife team Berkeley and Jeanine Scott.
