Lou HarryI love a good creation story, and the Yoruba people of the ancient city of Ife, in what is now Nigeria, have a doozy. It involves
a god indulging in a bit too much palm wine, a snail-shell full of soil, a chameleon, and a chicken (with five toes).

meaning and purpose. Creating structures that tell stories. Allowing designers to push the limits and take risks.

we love that we were right in our predictions for the outcome of Tony's boondoggle. We aren't negative, we are positive that the league that never has will continue to blow chunks and stink up the place
I was initially excited to learn that this wasn't rubber-stamped, but if all that is required is to add some shrubs and some "window dressing" over the first floor of the garage, then I'd call it a waste of everyone's time. It should be noted that the Hearing Examiner is a DMD employee who reports to the same administrator as the DMD staff planner who recommended approval of the garage and whose report said that the requirement for ground-floor retail had been "satisfied". Better luck with appealing the inevitable approval at the MDC, where the commissioners are appointed by the Mayor, City Council, and County Commissioners, thus, presumably not all obligated to facilitate the administration's plans.

New airport, new Lucas Oil Stadium, expanded convention center, $30,000,000 Pacer gift, Stupid City Way Project, Broad Ripple Parking Garage $ Giveaway, Money blown on lethal bike lanes. The list is endless..
We have complete morons in City Government with grafter buddies sitting in the wings also stealing parking meter revenue. Go to www.adavceindiana.com and read about Chicago Parking Meter Corruption.
It's all theft of taxpayer resources and complete lack of financial stewardship and devoid of integrity.
I would just like for basic city services please.
