Bob and I have been getting slowly re-introduced to Bloomington, Indiana. We were here in 2022 for two nights in between housesits. Bloomington is southwest of Indianapolis, the state capital and largest city in Indiana. It has a population of about 79,000, which makes it only the 7th most populous city in the state. It is the county seat of Monroe County.
Bob and I have spent some time doing errands (getting groceries, exchanging books at a free little library) that have either helped us get better acquainted with the neighborhood or fixed an identified problem. (Bob bought and then changed our front blinker bulb on our car, so others can know when we’re turning right.)
Prior to the snowstorm, we walked to the local Krogers grocery to pick up some essentials.

but we were surprised by the No Soliciting sign along it.




Today, we checked out the Visitors Center and then did a walkabout downtown.

We were worried about parking downtown, but we found street parking that is currently free. Normally, street parking costs $1 an hour.
