MoreLOU'S VIEWS: 7&7 + B&B = remarkable footwork
September 5, 2009
Lou HarryIt might make some top 10 movie musicals lists, but it’s unlikely that “Seven Brides for
Seven Brothers” is on anyone’s list of favorite stage musicals. Which is why Beef
& Boards
Dinner Theatre’s current production of the show (running through Oct. 4) is so remarkable.
MoreMARCUS: Transportation tells us about economy

MoreZEIGLER: Downtown deserves better design
September 5, 2009
Connie ZeiglerDowntown Indianapolis has a housing problem. I am not referring to the abandoned and foreclosed homes that blight many of
our neighborhoods. This is a problem of new, prominent construction projects that are out of place in our built environment.

was an opportunity to reflect.
MoreWrestler also excelled at football
September 5, 2009
[Mickey Maurer’s Aug. 24 column] on Cleo Moore caught my attention. I have read his name in the papers many times
and thought it sounded familiar. As I read through your article on Moore, it dawned on me why I recognized his name.
MoreReduce government role in health care
September 5, 2009
Bruce Hetrick’s patronizing and dismissive reference [in his Aug. 24 column] to the idea of death panels (“There
is,
of course, no such clause or intent in any health-reform legislation”) is insulting to any reader who has followed the
debate over health care reform.
MoreInvesting columnist needs new topics
September 5, 2009
It is rather obvious [investment columnist] Keenan Hauke has run out of things to write about. Give the readers a break,
this guy’s views are downright irresponsible.
MoreExperience doesn't mean talent
September 5, 2009
Paul Barada’s argument that teachers with 30 years of teaching
experience making $50,000-plus a year are underpaid is flawed.
MoreBENNER: Football season arrives - and so do these questions

MoreEDITORIAL: City government in financial bind
September 5, 2009

and
it could lead to his undoing.
MoreMAURER: Can you puzzle out My Word?
September 5, 2009
Mickey MaurerI recently welcomed a special guest to “Mickey’s Corner”—Will Shortz, the crossword editor of The
New York Times and the riddle maven we love to listen to every Sunday morning on
National Public Radio. In order to engage this creative genius, I conceived a challenge that I present to
you now: a two-part game called My Word.

country of Iceland.
MoreDINING: Canal eatery recreated
September 5, 2009
Lou HarryIt’s called Creation Cafe (337 W. 11th St., 955-2389), but a better name for the restaurant at the top of the downtown

MoreMARKETING: Why Discount Tire gets my vote, again and again

with outstanding results.
MoreALTOM: Want to experiment with 'Vanishing' e-mail?
August 29, 2009

to be problems later on.
MoreMARCUS: Some things must be repeated
August 29, 2009
Morton MarcusSome things need to be repeated over and over again. Repetition is required when a concept is hard to grasp or when narrow
interests are allowed to override the public interest.
MoreBARADA: What's wrong with this picture?
August 29, 2009
Paul W. BaradaThere are some pretty basic things out of whack in our society. Not too long ago, a local newspaper reported that a union
member from an area General Motors Corp. plant, with a job title of something like “assistant tool room organizer,”
was being paid in the high $20-per-hour range, not counting benefits. The only requirement for the job—maybe a high
school diploma.
MoreHealth care system is a travesty
August 29, 2009

Many serial killer types and psychopaths work as lowly bureaucrats, just waiting to impose their wrath on a powerless person, child, or pet. Don't forget, the BTK killer was a dog catcher.
If a television station wants to improve viewership, get rid of the local blackout. I was born by the brickyard, and have attended 15 or more races. I have children now, I won't attend unless circumstances are perfect. As those with growing families know, they never are. I'm always impressed that upwards of 250,000 people attend the 500. However, as a growing, or, more apt, sprawling city, Indianapolis and its immediate suburbs count almost 2.2 million. Show the race live, let the venue get a kick-back on revenues, and open-wheel racing might have a fighting chance to be relevant again. Just in time for those tax-payer lights to make sense.
John Moore, I too have had the same issue recently. A property next to my house was on the Land Bank and I was interested in purchasing. When I tried to contact Reggie, I got back emails that had nothing to do with what I asked about. Actually my latest response from him was on this past Friday. I had asked about how to buy the property and if it was still available. His response to me was to contact the mayor's office to get the schedule of his appearances. (???) Hopefully the city is able to do something to fix what this guy has done, it would be nice if they would take the properties back and sell them properly so land owners like me and you mother would have a fair chance.
I too work in the industry, with over 25 years of experience and your political spin has probably nothing to do with any rebranding. "Let's dress it up" would have nothing to do with the government "telling us how and what to eat." Give it a political rest. And being a producer for a radio show doesn't mean you've been involved in advertising and branding for 30 years.
Ms. Morris did not understand the ways of the business world, otherwise, like the IMS, she could have petitioned the State Legislature for a handout of State Funds for her charity work. Ms. Morris should consider becoming a state lobbyist for Lemonade Stand Operators.
