Moon Over Northwest Indiana

There's always something magical that happens in the evenings right around the time of the start of a new school year.

Broiling hot days give way to moderate days filled with golden light. Evening air loses the humidity that marks the summer time. Night air becomes nice, crisp and invigorating. The days get shorter as the year begins its wind down.

The night visits sooner. The moon seems to get a little larger.

Portillo's Restaurant in Merrillville is always a beacon for hungry patrons with its bright neon lights.



Night lights brighten the night sky at Marcella and 61st Avenue as fast food restaurants and gas stations compete for customers.

NW Indiana Flood Pics -- Hobart's Lakefront Park At Lake George

August's rains didn't spare Lakefront Park in Hobart from the rising waters that caused all sorts of flooding in Northwest Indiana.

Excess water flowing into Lake George from Turkey Creek and from runoff caused overflows onto the brick walkways near Lakefront Park's gazebo.
