These come to mind as a result of the casino coming into town:
West Baden renovation - 8th Wonder of the World
Big Splash Indoor Water Park
West Baden Indoor Go-Carts
Indiana Railway Museum and Scenic Railroad Trips (I think the City or County owns this now)
What do you judge the quality of roads by out of curiosity?

The Indoor Water Park and Go-Carts are nice now, but I'd be surprised if they are still open 5 years from now. If they are I'll be the first one on here to say I was wrong on that one.

Orange County still has one of the highest unemployment rates in the state and continually jockeys for the top spot for poorest county in the state. That's all I'm saying. The casino was touted to be the solution. I'm not denying it hasn't helped some.
