The Wall on Fruitridge that has a story to tell. Back in the day before Terre Haute was as populated as it now is, boys used to test their manly-ness on this road. They would come out with their cool cars and go drag racing. One night a couple of boys decided it was their turn to battle it out on the road. They revved up their engines and took off. That night one boy died, he flew out of his car and landed head first into a stone wall. It is said that if you go out to Fruitrigde at night, you can see the boys' haunted face in the stone wall staring back at you to this day.
