Guest guest Posted August 2, 2008 Report Share Posted August 2, 2008 To Christine and Deb (in Idaho): Thanks for the info about Bloomington, Indiana! This is good to know! In a couple of weeks, I am going to be passing thru the Hoosier state, headed toward St. Meinrad, IN, where my DH will be at a retreat center. We live in Illinois, but I had thought of stopping on the way to see my parents and sister & her family, who all live in and near Noblesville. I saw on the map that Hwy. 37 goes from up that way, around the city (Indy) and comes out on the south side and heads southward thru Bloomington and comes out south of I-64, where I catch a county road over to St. Meinrad. I thought that might be an interesting route to take, allowing me to make the stop half-way, and I noticed what towns it passed thru. Now I know that Bloomington might be a good place to find something to eat on the way. Dad and Mom would, of course, like me to have a longer stay to visit them, but if they know I am driving " all the way 'down there' " , they won't fuss much about me not being at their place for a full meal and a longer stay. (Of course, I could also arrive at their place the day before and spend the night--THAT all depends on how organized I am! LOL!) Anyway, I will be looking forward to seeing if there is something I can stop for in Bloomington on my way south thru Indiana in a couple of weeks! A restaurant with vegetarian stuff would be great! Thanks for the information! You helped at least TWO people when you wrote it! --Laura B., from Illinois Posted by: " baskets4deb " dprupp baskets4deb Sat Aug 2, 2008 12:19 pm ((PDT)) , " Christine " <orca_0574 wrote: > > I don't know if Bloomington would be a shorter/easier drive for you > from where you live but there are some good stores for vegetarians in > Bloomington.

I lived in Columbus for 13 years and used to drive to Bloomington every week or two. Lots of veggie friendly restaurants in Bloomington also. I remember Lennies (great calzones) was one of our favorites. I now live in Idaho and there are almost no vegetarians in this part of the country. We do have a great Co-Op though.
