MORRIS: I’m from the government, and I’m here to help
May 18, 2013
Obama's troubles might save us from his heavy-handed, second-term agenda.
MoreMORRIS: Home-selling process isn’t for sissies
May 4, 2013
When was the last time you sold your home? Was it a smooth and pleasant experience?
MoreMORRIS: Looking back, things never looked so good
March 23, 2013
I’ve been feeling a bit reflective lately as I just completed 22 years at IBJ a few weeks ago.
MoreMORRIS: After long winter, thinking of parks and how we fund them
March 9, 2013
I know we had snow last week, but spring is almost here. Daylight saving time is just kicking in. We’ve been cooped
up much of this winter, and it feels like it’s way past time to get up, get outside and MOVE! That means we’re
about to see more people outside taking advantage of our parks and greenways, something that far too many of us take for granted.
MoreMORRIS: Run for your lives—sequestration is upon us
February 23, 2013
This is a very scary week. I hope everyone has received that message loud and clear. The great sequester deadline has arrived.
March 1 is only a few days away. Not since last year’s end of the Mayan calendar has there been such focus on a date
that could preclude the end of days.
MoreMORRIS: Post office is cutting back, but IBJ isn’t
February 9, 2013
You’ve seen the news coverage. Starting in August, the United States Postal Service will discontinue Saturday mail delivery.
Forget the bills. Forget the junk mail. Who cares if you have to wait until Monday to get those items? In fact, studies have
shown that seven out of 10 Americans are fine with eliminating Saturday mail delivery.
MoreMORRIS: Finally, a new tax I can support
January 26, 2013
I wrote a column recently complaining about all the new taxes bestowed on us this new calendar year. It was a lengthy list.
So, I don't want to sound contradictory when I tell you now that I want central Indiana residents to support a modest
tax increase in the future to expand mass transit.
MoreMORRIS: To trim debt, hike taxes and cut ... ?
January 12, 2013
As Brent Musburger said when he spotted Miss Alabama in the crowd at the BCS National Championship game— “Whoa!”
MoreMORRIS: After many positives in 2012, let’s avoid 'cliff'
December 29, 2012
Put another year in the history books. It’s time for reflection and a look ahead to the new year. I went back and looked
at my column written this time last year—“From politics to hoops, my 2012 wish list”—and I would say
the results were mostly positive, with one big exception.
MoreMORRIS: Balancing quality and the bottom line
December 15, 2012
My job takes me out of my office into the community on a regular basis. As I’m out talking with folks in the business
community, a common theme surfaces almost without fail on a weekly basis.
MoreMORRIS: Setting an example we hope Washington will follow
December 1, 2012
I’ve been knee deep in budget meetings, one after another, for what seems like an eternity now. It’s been only
about a month, but it seems much longer. I’ve talked to many business colleagues who have been doing the same.
MoreMORRIS: Tony Bennett took one for the team
November 17, 2012
I’m worried the defeat of Tony Bennett as superintendent of public instruction puts this state’s education reforms
not at risk, but on a slower pace.
MoreMORRIS: Your vote on Nov. 6 is important
November 3, 2012
We all need to express our feelings about what’s going on in our local communities, our state and our country by casting
votes for the candidates we believe can make the most positive impact on our lives.
MoreMORRIS: Time for inspirational leadership
October 20, 2012
Rarely do we hear someone speak who has the potential to change our life, and as a result, the lives of others. I had such
an experience recently and I want to share it with you.
MoreMORRIS: Republicans face hard Senate choice
October 6, 2012
One prime example of a candidate who promises more gridlock in Washington can be found right here in Indiana. Of course, you
know I’m speaking of Republican candidate for U.S. Senate, Richard Mourdock.
MoreMORRIS: Remember our founding principles
September 22, 2012
I’ve avoided talking politics for several weeks now, but I just can’t avoid it any longer.
MoreMORRIS: Fox 59 is serious about local news
September 8, 2012
The announcement was made back in May and IBJ reported on it again in last week’s paper. However, I want to
highlight WXIN-TV Channel 59’s expanded news coverage in the 6 p.m. hour, Monday-Friday, which starts airing this week.
It’s the latest expansion of news at Fox 59 and the move is significant.
MoreMORRIS: Ordeal showed importance of police
August 25, 2012
Let's give them as much funding as possible so they can do their job well.
MoreMORRIS: Charging for online content makes sense
August 11, 2012
A business model that provides mostly free digital content can’t continue in the long term.
MoreMORRIS: Legal Aid Society deserves your support
July 28, 2012
It’s the largest organization in Indiana devoted solely to the non-ideological, non-sectarian, non-governmental provision
of civil legal assistance to persons of limited means.
MoreMORRIS: Young racers aspire to big league
July 14, 2012
USAC’s quarter-midget racing is a popular sport worth your attention.
MoreMORRIS: Let's celebrate—and work—together
June 30, 2012
We need to fight the urge to be so unyielding and negative much of the time.
MoreMORRIS: Cyclists, do your part to share the road
June 16, 2012
As we transition to a friendlier “complete streets” city, let’s all stay safe out there.
MoreMORRIS: Indiana's alcohol laws are still in dark ages
June 2, 2012
We held out long enough to be the very last state to do what should have been done years ago.
MoreMORRIS: Tech sector credit goes to Jones, TechPoint
May 19, 2012
The Mira Awards focus attention on the broader issue of the important role technology plays in Indiana’s economy.
MoreMORRIS: Let's vote our way out of this mess
May 5, 2012
Politics only gets worse when people stop participating in the process.
MoreMORRIS: Fair is fair ... or is it?
April 21, 2012
I always want to make sure I paid my fair share. I can’t stress this point enough. I don’t want to be a slacker.

This is a big help. Thanks for share it here.
Doug Henning!
These guy were thugs — they grew up in freaking Haughville! Smh, sigh. If the mayor needs/wants "quality" Black Hoosiers who are NOT corrupt, give me a call — I know plenty. Land bank info here - http://www.kubepharm.com/indylandbank/IndyLandBank.html
Magician and illusionist!
The basic idea of nice apartments with parking and retail is a good one, but this design seems overwhelmingly big/tall for Broad Ripple. The size could be disguised a bit with lots of big trees/landscaping, but the complex is too massive to blend in easily. That section of canal between College and Westfield will also need to be upgraded on both sides. Nice apartments facing onto a nice promenade with shade trees/plantings could bring together the canal towpath/Monon recreation, the outdoor seating at existing restaurants, and this project into something that upgrades the whole area. A plan for the whole stretch makes more sense than facing nice new housing onto what looks like a ditch. Is there a plan? Does the public have input? Who pays? The apartment idea seems to be reasonable, but Whole Foods is not a good idea for appropriate retail. Besides the store being physically too big, there are already Fresh Market at 54xCollege and Whole Foods in Nora for fancy groceries. Good Earth and Kroger are within walking distance of the Shell site. There are at least 7 grocery stores within a safe bike ride. Whole Foods would add nothing but traffic congestion. This design is on the right track, but there needs to be more work done to ensure that it blends in with and enhances the existing community. A project that large will set a tone for that whole part of town. It could be a real asset, but only if done right.
