I enjoyed the weird feeling when all the traffic was very scarce, and even though stores and shops were open, everything seemed to stop for 30 minutes as everyone stood outside.
It was like capitalism took a 20 minute break, and I wish we could do that more often. Not a ton, just a little
Bloomington expected 500,000 people.
Here's their big eclipse event at the IU Memorial Stadium.
Sorry about the weird angle. I didn't take the photo.
I love that they thought they could centralize/commoditize a natural event that only requires you to stop wherever you are and look up.
Most of Ellettsville was blocked off, but two places were charging $40 and $50 respectively for eclipse parking.
I was really proud of our little town of Lebanon. There was live music, roller skating, photo booths, inflatables, vendors & food trucks, movie night, and all sorts of other events all weekend. I would say that attendance was probably less than expected Sat & Sun, but Monday was pretty hoppin!
They missed that prediction by a margin didn’t they. lol
Great shot! Taken in Evansville?
