Located along the banks of the St. Joseph River and Elkhart River, Elkhart is a nice city with quite a nice downtown with many stores, restaurants, and theaters. Elkhart is easily accessible by the nearby Indiana Toll Road as well as the Amtrak station immediately south of downtown. I check out the downtown area as well as the riverwalk and some parks along the two rivers.

RV trip to Elkhart Indiana
I apologize in advance for how shaky this video came out. We got a new camera that we are still learning how to use. The roads were rough, the camera is heavier than we are used to, and the auto focus didn't want to seem to play along. I think we will get the hang of it though.
In this video we leave home for a ride across the Ohio/Indiana turnpike for a weekend trip to Elkhart.

Concord Mall (Elkhart, IN) - Raw & Real Retail
This is our walkthrough of the Concord Mall in Elkhart, IN from October 21, 2019. This is a dying mall that has retained all of its 1970s design glory. From epic skylights, to the liberal use of mercury vapor light bulbs, all tied together with ancient brickwork and striking planters. This mall was a delight to walk around.
Songs used in this video (in order):
Paul Mauriat - Tranquei a Vida
Paul Dupont & His Orchestra - Santa Monica
Alan Hawkshaw - Malibu Queen
Steve Martin - Sophisticated Mood
Mladen Franko - I'm Goin' Home
Robert Folk - Night Games
Steve Gray - Wonder Groove
Steve Gray - Reach Out
Here is a pretty verbose blog post about the Concord Mall from a local:
The wikipedia article is dreadfully short, but here it is anyway:
Concord Mall is an enclosed shopping mall serving Elkhart, Indiana. It opened in 1972 and is anchored by J. C. Penney, Jo Ann Fabrics, Hobby Lobby and Martin's Supermarkets.
Concord Mall opened in August 1972, anchored by Montgomery Ward and Robertson's, a division of Gamble-Skogmo. J. C. Penney was added as a third anchor in 1976. Robertson's closed and the space was eventually occupied by Meis and then Elder-Beerman, which was re-branded as Carson's in 2011. After Montgomery Ward closed, its building was split between Hobby Lobby (which opened in 2002) and ABC Warehouse. In 2008, a space vacated by Osco Drug was renovated into a food court. On January 31, 2018 Carson's Parent company Bon-Ton announced they would be closing the Concord Mall location with 42 other stores. Carson's Closed in 2018.
**Edit: In 2018, after a bank foreclosure against Concord Mall Properties LLC, the court-appointed receiver of the property was Jones Lang LaSalle, who also serves as the new leasing manager.

VERY bad accident here in Elkhart IN on 17 and 20. (READ DESCRIPTION)
From what we saw on the security footage, the red car drove out in front of the Ryder truck and swerved to get out the way, then the black truck rams into the side of the Ryder then the red truck did a head on collision into the rear of the black truck, shoving it more up under the truck.
The driver in the red car had a brace on his neck and possibly a broken hip, his dashboard was on his lap, he was airlifted to the hospital after.
There were 2 people in the black truck, the driver possibly died, having a white sheet being crushed, one in the back right seat needed a blood transfusion and airlifted to the hospital too.
So all in all, it was the black truck's fault for pulling out and cuting off the Ryder truck.
This is just a lesson, especally for all you who text and drive, or even drink and drive. Not paying attention.. This could be you.. Please be safe..

Elkhart County unemployment grows slightly as RV industry slows
July 23rd, 2019
ELKHART COUNTY, Ind. (WNDU) - It appears that tariffs have had an impact on Elkhart County’s economy, although that impact is hard to gauge.
For instance, the sheer number of RVs shipped to dealers has dropped 22% through the first five months of this year compared to the same period a year ago.
“I don't know that that in itself is causing a slowdown,” said Levon Johnson of the Greater Elkhart Chamber of Commerce. “Obviously, if we were to say that, it’s an awfully simplistic answer to throw all the blame there on tariffs.”
Johnson points out that the previous two years saw record-high shipments, and some of those units are still lingering on the lots.
A report from Reuters does say that 75% of the suppliers at Renegade RV in Bristol have demanded tariff-related price increases and that the company has reduced its workforce by about 10 employees since May.
“Ultimately, the consumer has to decide what they're willing to pay for a product, so it’s there, it’s real,” Johnson said. “Really, the competition now as folks try to figure out, businesses try to figure out who they're going to get their supplies from and try to avoid some of those tariffs, so there may be a company that was exclusively working with a place that was supplying certain things that now has 20 people going to that same company, so the speed at which you’re getting product is a little bit different.”
In June of 2018, Elkhart County had the second lowest unemployment rate in the state of Indiana. In June of 2019, it ranked 33rd lowest.
This June’s jobless rate of 3% is still seen as historically low and it is up from just 2.7% from last June.
While the number of unemployed persons in Elkhart County is up just 218 over the figure from June of last year, this June’s figure was up by 491 individuals compared to May of 2019.
“When we talk about those numbers, we're talking about people, and these are our neighbors and co-workers and friends and things like that. That’s real. But I think, given any other time and not coming out of those record years, 3% unemployment, we’d all be pretty excited about that,” Johnson said.

Elkhart, Indiana - Ball State Video (Spring 2012)
The town of Elkhart, Indiana is a lively riverside community that blends its rich past with modern touches. The beautifully renovated Lerner Theatre is the cornerstone for the downtown's Arts & Entertainment District with eclectic eateries, shops, pubs and museums. And, the nearby RiverWalk links waterside parks with pedestrian friendly city streets.
You'll see the historic Ruthmere Mansion - where you can tour the 1908 building that was once the cornerstone of high society in Elkhart. You can also see parts of the Midwest Museum of Art. The video also highlights some great dining establishments in Elkhart like McCarthy's. Another surprise in the middle of Amish Country is the historic Lerner Theater. The recently restored and expanded 1920s-era movie house turned performing arts complex features a 1,700-seat theatre, flexible banquet hall, classroom space, backstage tours and more.
