Get Ready For the 2024 WNIN Jazz Fest in Evansville!

Calling all hepcats, daddy-o's, and even squares - you're all invited to the 2024 Jazz Fest presented by WNIN. Forgive me if those terms don't mean anything to you - I found a jazz slang dictionary and I couldn't help myself. I'm fighting the urge to include even more terms in this article. Let's move on, shall we?

See How Downtown Evansville Has Changed Over the Years

I find looking back on the way things used to be fascinating. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad I'm living through the current time period. The conveniences of answering any question we have in seconds, or ordering practically anything we want or need and having it delivered to our doorstep is pretty sweet. But, there is something fun about seeing how things around us have evolved. As an Evansville native, and spending quite a bit of my time in downtown Evansville (that's where the station is located), I've always appreciated the older architecture of the buildings around the area. So, I dug into the Willard Library Archives to see how a few of those areas look now compared to then. Some have changed a little, others quite a bit, and a few don't even exist any more. Take a look.
