Day 26: More Indiana

Let’s start with this bronze tribute to Larry Bird in Terre Haute:

This cougar statue in Roachdale at the North Putnam Middle School was one of about 14 made for Lincoln Mercury dealerships to advertise for their Mercury Cougar cars. I believe only 6 survive — at my website here: https://www.roadarch.com/critters/cats.html

These draft horses were produced with tractor inner tube tires over a frame — at Boot City in Terre Haute:

This giant bowling pin is at the Terre Haute Bowling Center in Terre Haute. Many more of these pins at my website here: https://www.roadarch.com/mim/sports2.html

A former Tastee-Freez in Brazil – identifiable by that curved roof in front of the take-out window:

This is one of two Dairy Queens in Terre Haute with neon rooftop letters:

This theatre is in Rockville:

The Musical Arts Center below is at Indiana University in Bloomington:

This former First Church of God in Bloomington was used by the University for a while but I believe it’s vacant now:

This sign in Redkey disappeared around 2013 when the station closed — my 2010 photo below:

The former Von Lee Cinema (now restaurant and shops) in Bloomington:

This sign is in Greencastle:

A Big Red Liquors (the only one of many that I know of that has a vintage sign – though it might be from the early 1970s) in Bloomington:

Let’s close with Mason’s Root Beer in Washington. Mason’s Root Beer was mass-produced and seems to be a defunct brand. This drive-in still uses the name and produces its own root beer now:
