The town has not grown industrially and has become a sevice intersection at highway 70 and SR 41. Alcola, Stan Steel and NCR used to be located there and the only large manufactures are CBS and Lilly.

He was not far

Terre Haute, Indiana is a Garden of Eden! Low unemployment, good pay, inexpensive housing and the people are the greatest in the world. I can't believe I was blessed with the opportunity to live here! I'm never leaving!
I've lived in Mesa, Az. and in Los Angeles (area), Ca. most of my life. This is way better, move here soon!
