Valpo grows with the flow Changing for the better , u - An F or the post 15 years, the commu- nity of Valparaiso has undergone drastic changes in order to keep up with today ' s fast-paced way of living. Still, more changes are occurring within the area to accommodate everyone ' s needs. From the courthouse square to the County Seat mall, numerous changes have taken place in Valpo since the early seventies. Not only was a butter- fly statue placed in front of the court- house, but all of the sidewalks and streets in the vicinity were repaired. What we now know as the County Seat mall used to be nothing but an empty field. Valparaiso High School used to be located at Den Franklin Junior High School. The school year in which the Class of ' 85 entered kindergarten, 1972-73, was the first year of the new” high school ' s existence. Despite all of the changes in the past, Valparaiso continues to grow as a community. New additions, such as the Porter County Exposition Center south of U.S. 30, and the Post Office, now at the corner of Valparaiso and Vale Park Streets, are just signs that This Is It - Valparaiso is changing to keep up with the times. — Paul Jankowski NEAR COMPLETION, the new Post Office on Vole Pork Rood is more readily accessible from oil areas of town.
