Bruce HetrickJanuary 19, 2008
Comments(0)This evening's performance of the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra featured something extraordinary ... and I'm
not talking about the performances of Beethoven's "Pastoral" and Stravinsky's "The Rite of Spring" (although
those were outstanding).
I'm talking about ticket scalping....

Comments(2)IBJ reporter Jennifer Whitson takes over the blog today with news on new downtown artwork. Take it away,
Jennifer:
First came the Tom Otterness public art exhibit in 2005. The roly-poly brass sculptures captured some hearts,
including those beating in some...
More'Blood' reviews/Oscar picks
Bruce HetrickJanuary 17, 2008
Comments(13)Tonight is the IBJ Night at the Movies screening of Paul Thomas Anderson’s film “There Will Be Blood.”
Many of you will be at the screening, since we gave away passes last week.
So, what did you think of the film? If...
MoreHas housing hit bottom?
January 17, 2008
Comments(3)F.C. Tucker Co. put out a release today saying the Indianapolis-area housing market stabilized last year.
Somehow, a 9.9-percent decline in sales and 2.1-percent drop in selling price doesnâ??t sound so stable.
Tucker President Jim Litten points out that the region still...

Great shakes at Butler
Bruce HetrickJanuary 16, 2008
Comments(2)“I just pass on the enthusiasm and make it about them.”
That’s what Roger Rees, one of the world’s most acclaimed Shakespearian actors (and perhaps familiar to you
for his stints on “Cheers” and “The West Wing”) modestly told me when...

Irvington is up and coming much like Fountain Square. We would love to have something like this in our neighborhood!
Why do we care who has submitted proposals if we can't review the proposals? It's publicly owned land, but the public has zero say in what gets chosen to be built there. Yep, that sounds about right.
Perhaps May 21 is "Evangelical Day" over at the IBJ?
I don't know what's more depressing: that this passes for a defensible elective in a publicly funded SCIENCE class, or that more than half of the posters here are defending this charlatan. Intelligent design is creationism. Creationism is religion. Yes, we have freedom of religion, which deserves to be protected. Now someone kindly show Professor Hedin his freedom by escorting him over to the Religion department at BSU. Carry on.
I hope people realize that the 'vocal' opposition at the meeting represent the minority of people against this project. As with any controversial project - those who don't want it are the loudest, while those who like it or really don't care one way or the other don't come to such meetings. Unfortunately the same may be true of the survey now being offered by the BRVA. I live less than a 5 minute walk from BR Avenue and can tell you that I and most of my neighbors are support this exciting project, or are ambivalent. And how great that it includes quality apartments - something that BR sorely lacks. This is a first class opportunity that we should embrace (and no, I'm not with the BRVA or the developer.) As for the fellow who owns the Good Earth store, if he doesn't want competition then let him pull together his own investors and out bid Whole Foods to operate the proposed grocery component! Come on folks - let's move ahead.
