Shy Hoosiers in love
Back in the day, the word “lovemaking” had a softer, gentler meaning, which made for some interesting headlines that might raise a few eyebrows in the modern era, but which fit right in to the general shyness of Hoosiers about matters of affection. Also, a few items about the dangers of kicking dogs and the persistence of outhouses on Main Street in Mitchell Indiana.

What Once Passed For Indecency
Well, over time the view about what was considered indecent behavior has changed. In olden times it might have been playing in the orchestra for a saucy production, spitting in the French Lick post office, or wearing too many clothes.

Petting Party Vigilantes: the Mitchell Horse Thief Detectives.
We had our own state-sanctioned vigilantes in Mitchell 100 years ago, keeping the roads safe from thieves and lovers, in their endless fight against crime and prurience. Also, a recitation of the the theme song from the cartoon show Underdog, my favorite vigilante when I was a kid.

Customer Reviews
Great podcast!
Here is some insight passed on to me, …..the Bedford area was consider promised land for Georgia stone workers. Marble dust is effectively ground glass. Wasn’t uncommon to see workers coughing up blood. The real history of Tate Georgia has been scrubbed. It was Tate Georgia, Tate marble company owned by Tate family, they had contracts for all of the white marble govt headstones. You lived in Tate housing, shopped Tate store, one step removed from indentured slave. My grandfather moved to Bedford in 1920s to work in mills. That explains a lot of the southern traditions, our food was fried everything! Oven was to keep stuff warm while you fried more stuff!! lol
Bedford limestone was mainly calcium.
Enjoying
I’m really enjoying these; brings back so many memories of Mitchell, In, my hometown as well.
This is a nice relaxing podcast
