The Gary Bears, Rural Indiana Making Moves, and Indiana’s Best Valentine’s Day Recommendations

Nate and Cheyne break down the Chicago Bears' potential move to Indiana, a $6M Logansport project, and the best Valentine's Day dinner spots statewide.

Podcast Summary

On today’s show I sat down with one of my Get Indiana team members, Cheyne Reiter, to discuss top headlines, upcoming events, and Valentine’s Day recommendations across Indiana.

We began with something we learned about Indiana in January. We then shifted to upcoming events and what’s in the news, including a $6 million incubator kitchen and pavilion in Logansport, the historical recognition of a World War II riveter from Evansville, and the continued talks of the Chicago Bears’ potential move to northwest Indiana.

After a fun segment where Cheyne quizzed me with random Indiana towns and I guessed which county they were in, we closed with dinner recommendations for Valentine's Day.
