Evansville Booming?

You wouldn't believe it if you listened to some but think about this...........

Evansville Health Club: Opened in October and has already had to expand. Smaller than some in Madison or Janesville? Yes, they do however offer all the same equipment at a better price with 24 hour access.

Evansville Furniture: Nice to have something like this in town. Wish they would have went in at the old Dollar Store. Looking forward to checking them out.

The New Liquor Store: Looking forward to a nice wine selection and some more micro brews.

Surf 4 Ink: Office Supply Store. I'll bet there are some happy business people in town. Nice not to have to drive to Janesville or Madison for some simple supplies.

The Cobblestone Inn: Our first Hotel. Man, it's going up quick.

Tanglewood Tavern: Here's something Evansville really needed a banquet facility. This goes well with the hotel. We can keep some of the wedding business in town. Nothing wrong with another place to have a beer and dinner either.

Not to mention the expanding nursing home, the crushing facility and the still possible bio-diesel plant.

While I think we'd all like to see some more activity downtown these are all positives for our community. All fill some needs and most will provide good to decent jobs.

Seems we are doing a pretty good job of attracting new business.

What would you like to see more of in Evansville? Retail? Specialty? Services?

This blog sucks, you are so positive. Don't you know everything here sucks. Get with the program Jeff this is Evansville not happy town.

To top it off three of the places you mention involve intoxicating beverages those are bad for you.

I would like to see a strip club with beer and a nice lunch buffet. (No girls for Evansville allowed)

I've heard from some of the older folks that we need a really nice sit-down steakhouse/restaurant -- not some chain but a family owned buz -- like East Side Steakhouse used to be, or the Coach House in their day. Country Club is good, but doesn't seem open and accessible.

Does Evansville have any ordinances prohibiting strip clubs?
