This happens all the time anymore. We used to love going to Evansville all the time, it's just a short drive from our home, all the good concerts happen there, we love the minor league baseball team, the Asian food market, and some of the best BBQ this side of the Mason Dixon Line (which is only 10 miles South of Evansville). They have a wonderful zoo, incredible museum, and host the Frog Follies, one of the nations largest car shows and swap meets. But, hell we hardly ever go there anymore because of all the crime. It's just so sad that this once clean little city has become a shrunk down Detroit.
