TGIF Lunch & Ridgeville


Been a long busy week.  Spent way too many hours clearing,  cleaning and restoring after several days of dirty, dusty indoor construction.  Sadly, will take several more days to finish.

On a brighter note, a good friend and I have both had the complete vaccine protection program and we are to meet for lunch at our favorite - recently reopened - restaurant. 

Meanwhile, back to the red brick Midwest with a brief visit to Ridgeville.  

    Ridgeville, Indiana.

Ridgeville is a town along the Mississinewa River and located on Indiana Highway 28 about a mile west of US 27.

With a 2020 population of 721, it is currently declining at a rate of -0.54% annually and its population has decreased by -7.97% since the most recent census, which recorded a population of 803 in 2010. Ridgeville reached it's highest population of 794 in 2010.

Brief spot of history:

The Stanley science building on the campus of Earlham College in Richmond, Indiana honors Wendell Meredith Stanley (1904–1971), co-recipient of the 1946 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. He was born in Ridgeville.
