No. The name of the town is Terre Haute. It is the first of many very stupid things about this town… because it means “high ground” and we’re in a valley. It’s technically higher ground than the river next to it, but that’s basically true of all rivers everywhere because of, you know, erosion.
Come to think of it, it might be the least stupid and terrible thing about Terre Haute, along with “it no longer deserves its reputation for smelling terrible because the paper mill is no longer here.”
Don’t get me wrong, there are some good things here, but the bad things far outweigh them. It’s generally considered one of the worst cities in Indiana and it deserves that reputation. And just being in Indiana is pretty awful since we’re sometimes nicknamed “the middle finger of the South.” Which is 100% accurate.
