I called back later to cancel my reservation. when the person answered the phone, she immediately stated that she would have her manager call me back because they do not offer refunds. she did not inquire about my name or any information and when I asked, she stated it was on caller ID. that was on 10/31/25. It was not until today (11/4/25) that someone contacted me stating they would not give me a refund. I was also told that they texted me on Friday however I have no message from them. I do understand that they have a "policy" which I would not complain about. however, telling me that you are charging me for memories is absurd. there are several places that offer this for 1/2 the price. I think the situation was handled extremely poor from their perspective. I will not be continuing with the reservation

They'll turn up the ballpark driveway, not knowing for sure why they're doing it. They'll arrive at the ticket gate as innocent as children, longing for the past. Of course, we won't mind if you look around, they'll say. It's only eight dollars per person. Folks'll pass over the money without even thinking about it. For it is money they have and peace they lack. And they'll walk out to the Umbrella Bar and the Backyard, and sit in shirt-sleeves on a perfect afternoon. Or they'll find they have reserved seats somewhere along one of the baselines, where they sat when they were children and cheered their heroes. And they'll watch the game, and it'll be as if they'd dipped themselves in magic waters. The memories will be so thick, they'll have to brush them away from their faces. People will come, Funk...The one constant through all the years, Funk, has been baseball. America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It's been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt, and erased again. But baseball has marked the time. This field, this game -- it's a part of our past, Funk. It reminds us of all that once was good in Kokomo and it could be again. Ohhhhhhhh, people will come, Funk. People will most definitely come. Apologies: Terence Mann

I went to some single A games in Virginia that were played on a high school field, so I was shocked when I arrived. It's a really nice facility, I was told IU Kokomo plays their games there. Not familiar with the ballpark, my experience started with buying tickets over the phone. I described the kind of seats I wanted, lady at ticket window provided exactly what I wanted; they were great seats!! The night I went was thirsty Thursday, so domestic beer was $2 for 12 Oz glass. Had a brat and eventually French fries. Parking was easy, may be a challenge if sold out. I had a blast!!!

Instead of…read morehaving an alley that becomes a neglected space where trash and graffiti accumulate, Kokomo and its Art Association developed this outdoor gallery to bring color and attention to the space. There are some guidelines that submitting artists have to follow especially considering that all the pieces will have to endure the elements. When the Artist Alley was created in 2014, it was thought that the art pieces would be on display from four to eighteen months. Each piece would have an associated plaque identifying the artist, the title, and the artist's thoughts/motivation for the pieces. There are mostly murals throughout the length of the alley. However, I was pleasantly surprised to find some small sculptures on pedestals too. And America's first car, the 1894 Pioneer by Kokomo's own Elwood Haynes is there at the entrance (I assume this is only a replica since it is in spectacular condition.) I hope that other visitors who live closer to Kokomo than I do will periodically update the art they find here. I only took photos of roughly half the pieces there. Review #2338

Yes, it's a small university, and if you're huge into giant sports games or activism, there isn't a lot of that (however, they appear to be expanding on these activities at a rapid pace). However, if you want to get a good education and pay much less, this is a great place to go. At a larger university, you get lost (both literally and figuratively) in the sea of people, and professors don't know who you are. They are often more concerned with their research than their teaching, and it shows. At IU Kokomo, that's not the case -- your professors are available and often eager to meet with you if you need guidance. Some of them have even acted as mentors to me, and I am still in contact with them. Not to mention -- the professors in the science department (among other departments, I'm sure) are such GREAT people. They are very open-minded and tolerant, and they want to see you succeed. They will sometimes even go above and beyond to help you reach your goals. I can't express enough thanks for that. I also worked here for a brief time as an adjunct professor. Again, I was treated with respect and met with enthusiasm. It's a nice feeling to work with such great people.

I visited this weekend to see the work of this iconic glass genius and nephew of the great St. Clare glass legends. Elwood is known for the glass factories that thrived mid 20th century. Members of the St. Clare family have made decorative glass items since 1890s. During my visit, Joe and artisan, Matt, were demonstrating glass blowing and other techniques at the shop as part of the Elwood Glass Festival. Joe has been making glass since he was twelve years old and his work is exquisite. The shop is tidy. I purchased five spectacular pieces of glass signed by Joe from his little gift shop. Joe's wife runs the shop and was super friendly and wrapped my treasures with great care. In a back room, St. Clare family pieces were on display along with family photos. Joe is proud of Elwood and it's history. He sent us to look at several historic sites. There's parking on the west side of the building. There is a public restroom. Call before you make the trip to make sure they are open. Prices were very reasonable. Can't get much more local with lovely craftsmanship.

For my 100th Review I needed to pick a very special place, and I think I have found it…read more My parents recently moved to Marion and every time I drive there I pass this place. The sign says Round Robins Bingo Barn. Intrigued, I swore that the next time I was visiting my parents I would stop in and play. And so I did. I was completely overwhelmed by what I walked in to. I would say at least 200 people were sitting in a huge room playing game after game of bingo. We got there a bit late and had to be caught up by the "professionals" but we caught on in no time at all. For $12 you get something like 10 games with 18 cards in each plus you can add an extra bingo card here and there for a dollar. 3 games of the night are with $1000 and then they have a few $300 games. We didn't realize what a commitment we were signing up for. We were there for at least 2 hours and still had games to play. Playing Bingo really makes a girl hungry and unfortunately they didnt have a kitchen at the time, you can buy sodas and snacks and if you are really hungry you can have pizza delivered. Those people really had the right idea. Unfortunately we didn't win any games that night but I can honestly say that was the most entertainment I have had in Marion Indiana.
