Indianapolis is a long way from reaching its potential. Yes, we have advantages with cost of living (compared to both coasts),
and great professional sports franchises and an array of quality cultural institutions like the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra
and The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis, and many more.

They say bipartisanship is dead in Washington, D.C. They say a Democrat won’t buy a Republican a beer and a Republican
won’t share a glass of Chardonnay with a Democrat.

in poverty than are nationally (36 percent).

Breast cancer is not one disease; it is many diseases. And although it is not limited to women, women over the age of 50 are
at the highest risk.

I did not wait in line to get my new iPhone 5; I ordered it online and it arrived exactly when they said it would. The battery
was charged when I got it out of the package, and it took all of about 10 minutes to transfer (using the “cloud”)
all of the stuff from my antiquated iPhone 3GS.

For an actor, actress or movie buff, it is the Academy Awards. For a basketball player and fan, it is March Madness or the
NBA Finals. For the swimmer, gymnast, or distance runner and those of us who admire their talents, it is the Olympics.

Most of our failures as a society end up in the emergency room, and in central Indiana that often means Wishard.

Thank you for pointing out the absurdity of having The Naked Cowboy at Zoobilation. For the life of me, I don’t know why anyone would want a picture with that guy, but there were plenty of folks lined up to get a shot with him. The event could have used more restrooms out on the bridge, more photo booths and vendors offering something besides meat. There were a few more veg-friendly options this year than last, but it has a long way to go.
Went to Zoobilation Friday night and had a great time. The weather was super nice and the food was very good, for the most part. Lots of sliders this year at many different tents. The slider from Alexander's was inedible, all four in my group ended up tossing it after one bite. Some tents were out of food by 8:30 and one bar area was out of cups at 8:30, not sure how that can happen. Great event in Indy and I look forward to it each year.
Many of the small community hospitals are now owned by the "cash-strapped" Indy biggies, with more coming. The doctor-practise buying has been done precisely to sidestep tiered payments for out-of-hospital procedures. These are no better done, or safer, because someone administers a pain shot or snaps an x-ray in a doctor's office. And the non-payment issue is resolved next year when we all have insurance, even though many still think paying private insurers an extra 10-20% is what makes our system "world-class".
I'd love to see this rendering put into the context of the surrounding neighborhood/area to get a better feel for the surrounding scale. However, just by the looks of it, it appears to be an excellent project. I'm pretty sure that if Scott Olson had said nothing regarding Chicago or Wrigleyville, Mr. "Horrible" would have found nothing bad to say. I'd love to know how Indy is becoming "Chicagofied"...
Truly great and funny play. Vocalists were Broadway caliber and stage settings ideal for small stage. Would go again!
