Homesick Hoosier Blues

Someone commented the other day, after reading my blog entries "The Great Escape" and "Indiana Towns Revisited", "In one post you say bad things about Indiana, and in the other, you say good things! Which is it??" The truth is I like Indiana. I miss a lot of things about Indiana. On occasion, I get homesick for Indiana.

When I feel those old Homesick Hoosier Blues creeping up, I hit the Internet and check out WISH-TV's downtown Indianapolis webcam. Or, I go to the Indianapolis Zoo's webcam page. Seeing a "live" picture from back home (well... relatively live, at least no more than a few minutes old), somehow helps me feel connected again.

Of course, Indianapolis isn't the only city skyline one can view live on the Internet. You can check out Chicago (via WGN-TV). Or New Orleans. Or Seattle. Or Albuquerque. Or Boston. Or even Rochester, Minnesota!

For my sister-in-law, here's Mount Washington, New Hampshire.

For all of you Elvis fans, check out Graceland.

International travelers can check out London, Adelaide, Paris, or Winnipeg.

If you want to feel like an international traveler without leaving the United States, check out Anchorage, Alaska or Honolulu, Hawaii.

So go travel the world without ever leaving your computer! Or course, it's better to actually go there...
