EVANSVILLE, Ind. (AP) — For 37 years, Bob Walther has been building a popular and successful Evansville business in an unlikely place — on the city’s former trash dump.

Walther’s Golf & Fun on First Avenue, south of Diamond Avenue, has 36 holes of miniature golf (18 indoor and 18 outdoor), a lighted driving range, a laser tag arena, party rooms and food service. It operates on more than 18 acres in Kleymeyer Park, and Walther has leased the land from city government since 1977.
