Michael Petty+FollowEvansville schools stay closed—again!Another day at home for Evansville families as EVSC and many other Tri-State schools remain closed, even though roads are finally starting to clear.

It’s not just schools—several churches across Indiana, Kentucky, and Illinois are also shutting their doors. How are you handling another day of remote learning or work? Has the weather thrown off your week, or are you enjoying the extra time at home? Let’s hear how everyone’s coping! #Education #Evansville #SchoolClosings00Share

summersivan+FollowEvansville coach exits Washington hoops earlyJust weeks before the IHSAA sectionals, Washington’s boys’ basketball team is facing a major shakeup—Evansville native Bo Burkhart has stepped down as head coach after only one season, citing personal reasons. For a community that’s watched Bo grow up on local courts (his dad coached at Bosse), this sudden change is bound to stir up conversations about the pressures on young coaches and the impact on the Hatchets’ playoff hopes. Brandt Schuckman will take over as interim coach. How do you think this will affect the team’s momentum? #Sports #Basketball #Evansville00Share
Dana David+FollowEvansville hospital heroes weather the stormWhen Evansville was buried under snow, Deaconess hospital staff didn’t just clock in—they moved in. Nurses, doctors, and support teams packed overnight bags and camped out for days to keep critical care running, even as roads became impassable. Some slept in on-call rooms, others on air mattresses in classrooms. It took serious teamwork, from sharing meals to shoveling walkways, and even community groups pitched in to help with transportation. This kind of dedication shows just how far people will go to look out for their neighbors. How do you think our community can support frontline workers during extreme weather? #Health #BodyHealth #Evansville00Share
