I'm going to be in Evansville IN with some time to kill this weekend.

Any stores or sites that I should make it a point to visit?

Thanks

I don't know of any gaming stores but there was this bar/restaurant called Muncheeze when I was there. I don't know about the rest of the food but they had a sandwich called a Chicken Blah-Blah that was amazing.

It was near Deaconess hospital, I don't know exactly where but it was walking distance because I walked to it from there.

Well worth traveling to to have that amazing sandwich.

They have an LST museum, on the river that is worth checking out.

Indian mounds as well:

If you like minor league hockey (while not the season for it), pick up a souvenir:

About an hour up the road is Vincennes, site of George Rogers Clarks' retaking of Fort Sackville:

Visit the Working Men's Institute in New Harmony (about 35 minutes west of Evansville.) See the skeleton of "Old Fly"', a horse riden in the 1st Indiana Cavalry. Also see other Civil War artifacts, weaponry from WWI (including a German minenwerfer on the front lawn) and tons of other cool stuff. Tell them I sent you.

Take advantage of the antique stores and other shops in town as well.
