Superman leaps tall buildings in a single bound (note: If he can fly, why does he bother leaping? Just
asking).
Dane Nash took his own enormous leap—of faith—when he decided to put his Superman and Batman memorabilia
collection—including a full-sized Batmobile...

Your lawyer probably isnâ??t complaining. Neither would your doctor, Realtor or accountant.
In all the talk about reforming property taxes, hardly a word has been said about shifting some of the
property tax burden to services.
That means some of the most...

Bloomberg carried a story today saying some of the hottest oil investments are options on the New York Mercantile
Exchange to buy oil for $200 a barrel. Presumably at least some investors think oil prices are going to
double.
Weâ??ve already...

“Run for Your Wife” and stopped in, briefly, at the Midwest Museum of Contemporary Art’s “Backyard” at the
Harrison Center.
In short, I spent a...

Saw the Indy Men's Chorus "Music of Gilbert & Sullivan" at the Indiana Historical Society on Sunday evening.
Temporary workers are not "tools" they are people and companies that keep large amounts of temp staff are cheating.
I miss having them around. I hope one of their stores is in the general Meridian/86th Street area. I will make good use of it.
The Fringe! Plus, the simple fact that there are so many local faves in such close proximity to each other.
I remenber, watching the toll road, being built, through South Bend, when I was 10 years old. I believe, back then that it was estimated, that the toll road, would be paid for in 20 years and then it would be free. I am now 71, what happened? Since the power is in the people, by that, I mean that, we the people are in total control of everything. I, suggest that no one ever use the toll road again, let it go broke. We the people can control the price of everything, from groceries to gas, if we would just do it. If we don't pay the asking price, the sellers will lower the price and if we wait awhile, they will lower the price to what we accept as reasonable. I would like to know why a highway like interstate 94, is so well maintained, a much better highway, than the toll road, but has no tolls. I would also like to know why, a sitting governor, with a term limit, maximum of eight years, can lease, public property, for 75 years. Even though I have transponders in both of my trucks and will not be affected by the increase, I have been and will contine to avoid using the toll road. I make many trips from northern Indiana to Chicago, every year, and I prefer the better highway, I94!
