Indiana Historical Society Maybe when you pose for a picture tonight with your friends, it will end up in our collection some 90 years later. Here's an image from the 1910s. Boo!

Don't know, Shawn. What would people say about our pictures 90 years later? Probably something like "Why is that woman's hair spiked up in the back and long in the front and why does that guy's shirt say 'Ed Hardy' on it?"

A ventless fryer and ventless grill have allowed Hoaglin to expand its already great menu...when you have a chance to visit, look for some of the new items like the "More Than Grilled Cheese" and the Hoaglin signature burger on focaccia, (with sundried pesto torte, applewood bacon and carmelized onion--YUM)!

Stephen--I'm afraid we weren't able to find a photograph for you in our collection. You might try contacting the Indiana State Library...that Web site is www.library.in.gov.

I'm sorry we couldn't be of help to you on this particular request--but please don't hesitate to try us again, as we do really have quite a bit in our collections (including 1.6 million photographs).
