- Filmed on Sunday, August 25 2024, I drive around Indianapolis suburb Anderson, IN to see what's going on.
The city is named for Chief William "Adam" Anderson, whose mother was Native American Lenape and whose father was of Swedish descent. Anderson was also known as "Andersonton" before being formally organized as Anderson.
On March 31, 1887, natural gas was discovered in Anderson. As the Indiana gas boom began, this discovery led new businesses that could use natural gas, such as glass-making, to move to the city. Anderson grew to such proportions that a Cincinnati newspaper editor labeled the city "The Pittsburgh on White River".
The year 1912 spelled disaster for Anderson: the natural gas ran out. The city had wasted much of it: they had left its gas-powered lights on day and night, and there are stories of a pocket of natural gas being lit in the river and burning for a prolonged period for the spectacle of it. The result of the loss of natural gas was that several factories moved out.
Anderson hosted a National Basketball Association (NBA) franchise for the 1949-50 season, being one of the smaller cities to have had a major league franchise in a Big Four American sport. The Anderson Packers were a founding member of the NBA (under that name), but folded after one season.
Like most other industrial cities in Indiana and the Rust Belt as a whole, Anderson suffered tremendously from deindustrialization in the 1970s and 1980s. For example, nearly 22,000 people were employed by General Motors in the 1970s in Anderson; by 2006 this number had declined to fewer than 2,600.
Anderson University is a private Christian university located within the city. Required chapel/convocation attendance for students is an Anderson University tradition, maintained throughout the entire history of the university. Students are currently required to attend 18 chapels per semester to fulfill the undergraduate requirement.

This is my hometown, I grew up here. Now I live in the Boston area. 10:17 the church on the left is park place church of God. I went to youth group there. And I finished my college degree at AU on the right. 15:52 you just passed my parents home and were grew up.
Love when I hit someone’s childhood home! You grew up in a pretty nice small town.
Don't know if you would agree or not..but to me there's always a kind of quiet .melancholy feel to a Sunday no matter what season it is.
I wouldn't say melancholy but I know what you are saying. Sunday is always a sleepy day no matter where you are.
no humans walking anymore during the day?
