OUR OPINIONS: Signs of our times in New Albany

What do these say to guests?

A recent trip visiting entry points into the city yielded some interesting and sad results.



Here are some facts to consider when looking at these images:

• New Albany is the largest city in Indiana by population in the region.

• New Albany is the county seat.

• New Albany is where hundreds of thousands of tourists drive through every year to get to the most popular tourist destination in the region — Caesars Indiana Casino and Hotel.

• New Albany’s Harvest Homecoming Festival draws more than 200,000 visitors to downtown New Albany.

Shouldn’t we be able to do better than this?

• • •
