Our Thanksgiving weekend experience at New Harmony, Indiana, which held a well-attended candlelight history walk with accompanying wine and beer tasting, has me contemplating something similar in New Albany.
A walk with printed guide, taking in several off-beat historical sites - not the usual recitation of dates and architectural styles, but something a bit more "weird," perhaps the site of the jail where the Reno gang was killed by vigilantes, the house where famed 19th-century baseball star and fireman Jouette Meekin lived, and the like.
Weird history, if you will.
At selected intervals, by arrangement with the owners of licensed establishments and private dwellings, there would be the opportunity to sample libations. Participants would pay a slight fee up front, they'd have ID's checked, the products and labor would be donated, and we'd have a few dollars for those "Make New Albany Weird" bumper stickers.
