Window of Opportunity Otterbein Indiana
 

I am always grateful when driving through our small towns in the Greater Lafayette, Indiana area to see buildings in the old business districts still preserved because the owners were able to get replacement windows to fit the various and sometimes unique arched or rounded windows.
This turn of the century brick building is alive and well on Main Street in Otterbein, Indiana, and one has to wonder the role of finding affordable replacement windows in helping owners keep alive some of our late 19th Century and early 20th Century business building across small … (6 comments)

otterbein: Otterbein, Indiana small town pride - 07/06/14 12:22 AM
 
Otterbein, Indiana small town pride
 
What's the best use of real estate when it is decaying and in disrepair?  In this case the owner donated the land to the Town of Otterbein and a delightful litte sitting area with gazebo and landscaped greeen space was created  where the former business building was located.  It is a wonderful area to relax and enjoy the beauty of nature, and the next time we pick up a pizza at the Otterbein Pizza King I know just the quiet place to enjoy the meal!

Lest we not forget this July 4th
 
 

 
Otterbein, Indiana is in West Tippecanoe County just 15 minutes from West Lafayette and Purdue University.  Driving back and forth from a listing on Otterbein Lake that has since sold,  I would always say a silent prayer for whoever this star represents in service to our nation.  Having a nephew serve a couple of tours in Iraq many years ago I was constantly praying for his safety and safe return to our nation.
 
Thank you all who have served our nation and all who are currently standing … (12 comments)
