Parent has spent 15 years at IBJ, starting out as a reporter covering real estate. The prospect of enticing food, music and joie de vivre lured her south to New Orleans, where she spent three sweaty years at CityBusiness, a weekly newspaper. She eventually returned to Indianapolis and now edits IBJ’s graphics, opinion pages and monthly Small Biz section. Parent also pens a column when she gets her dander up. An Indianapolis native, Parent graduated from Howe High School and Indiana University, with degrees in journalism and French. She spent two years living in France, an experience that left her with a hopeless case of Francophilia and wanderlust. She volunteers for Meals on Wheels, the International Center of Indianapolis and IPS’ Center for Inquiry. The rest of her free time is spent biking around her historic Irvington neighborhood with her family and burning way too much midnight oil devouring novels.

See, I told u Indyman and Dipsicle....this 8 days is overkill. It's barely worth a weekend....great job Tony George! Your dream has been fulfilled....he fans want the I r l back. Thats how good it was.....and that sucked.
I have been in training for a short time now but right off I can see that safety and quality are the number one issues, my experience as of late has been a positive one, the employees along with Jeff the plant manager and the operation supervisor as well as the engineers are a highly motivated group of people, what an asset for the area to have and for company's in need of a quality metal products.
Pimlico
While I understand the severity of their actions as well as everyones eagerness to hold them responsible for thier lost funds, these gentlemen did know how to make money. Dispite thier poor decisions over the ownership of Fair they had made several wise investments which paid them greatly. This proves they do have the potential to rebuild so they can repay. I do not feel they should live the life of luxuary but given an opportunity could they find ways of repaying the debts? They are doing nothing now but being a burden on tax payers. Just a thought!!!!!
You guys have some "interesting" comments to say the least. I hope you will call in and share those opinions starting June 1. I'm looking forward to having you on the air.
