Sorry for the long delay -- I had marked this message for reply and then did not get back to it. Bloomington is very nice, overall. Small town, but with the university it has a lot of the cultural ammeneties of a much larger city. Fairly left-of-center politically, due to the university, though the county outside of Bloomington, and surrounding area, are much more conservative. You used to really notice the student influx in the fall and exodus in the spring, particularly with regard to traffic, but the last few years it has seemed to me to be much less. Maybe more people are staying for summer classes, or (more likely) there has just been enough growth in the town that the students are a smaller percentage of the population than they used to be. Still not big enough for commercial aviation; nearest is Indianapolis. We have an airport but only private aircraft use it. Over the years it has become a lot more like any suburban town; the usual chain restaurants, mall stores, big box superstores, etc. Good in a way, bad in a way. But overall I like it better than anywhere else I have lived. Allan -- 1983 300D 1966 230
