John Mellencamp - "Little Pink Houses"

My son, Alexander, had made executive decision to attend the law school at Indiana University-Bloomington which had offered him the largest scholarship.

Attended law school open house this weekend, and had an opportunity to explore Bloomimgton.

Found out that when the Travel & Leisure Magazine mentioned that "Bloomington has the soul of a big city, but the heart of a much smaller town.”, they weren't kidding. Also found out that why IU-Bloomington is proud of having one of the most beautiful university campus in the country.

Bloomington is a small city of about 70,000 with cultural resources and opportunities that rival cities many times its size. You will find coffee houses, live music, festivals, bookstores, open-air markets, historic architecture, cafés, eclectic restaurants, boutiques, lakes, parks, museums, and, theatres through out Bloomington.

Bloomington’s rolling hills, limestone heritage, and picturesque scenery are a fitting backdrop for a city that is home to the state’s oldest and largest winery, the country’s only Tibetan cultural center, the legendary Little 500 bicycle race, and the annual Lotus World Music and Arts Festival.

John Mellencamp is from a rural town in Indiana and often writes about the American experience. His lyrics deal with the challenges of living in America as well as the triumphs, and visiting Blooomington made me think about this song. Realize that it fits perfectly with the slide Show!!! The United States is a beautiful place, with many attractions!!! Here you will see America's Landmarks, Cities, small towns, and everything else in between that makes up what the United States is today!!!! ENJOY!!!!!!
