Visible progress in the city hides other troubles
May 18, 2009
Indianapolis still looks like a city with momentum, despite the dismal economy. But appearances can be deceiving.
MoreStop funding CIB
May 18, 2009
Well-intentioned or not, competent or not, the so-called "leaders" [sports columnist Bill Benner] referenced in your [May
4] column failed miserably in representing the best interests of taxpayers and instead presided over an unconscionable transfer
of wealth from "We the people" to a small number of professional sports owners and players.
MoreLOU'S VIEWS: Rate expectations ... reviewing without stars
May 11, 2009
Lou HarryThis week, two community theater productions reinforce my decision not to give
"star" ratings.
MoreEPA policies cannot force economic choices
May 11, 2009
Mike HicksWe are at a critical moment in environmental policy. We suffer a dearth of frankness on the matter that imperils the quality
of our decision-making.
MoreLegislators, governor disagree about special session
May 11, 2009
Ed FeigenbaumAssigning responsibility for what stuck us with a special session is a political post-session must, but playing the blame
game usually isn't a productive exercise.
MoreVolunteers want meaningful work
May 11, 2009
There are many factors involved in the decision to volunteer in the community—including
time commitment, the opportunities for building social networks, the skill set needed for the volunteer position, and of course
the mission of the organization.
MoreCities shouldn't subsidize leisure
May 11, 2009
To hold Carmel up as a healthy community is to turn a blind
eye to the mountain of debt run up by that city's mayor. Healthy communities provide the fundamental necessities in a balanced
way that does not put undue burden on those who live in that "time and space."
MoreAuthor's work may go unfinished
May 11, 2009
Morton MarcusThere are four main points I want to cover directly and simply: oil prices, the obsession with homeownership, the usual desire
for more, and the need to understand economic history.
MoreTough times require determined leader
May 11, 2009
Chris KatterjohnSomeone once told me it's easy to run an organization when times are good.
It's when times are tough that things get difficult. Well, we're definitely there.
MoreHere is a sustainable plan for the CIB
May 11, 2009
Brian WilliamsA vibrant Indianapolis powers a dynamic Indiana and the governor, the mayor and the members of the General Assembly should
all recognize that.
MoreCommunity leaders grateful to Simons
May 4, 2009
Most of us were taught to give thanks to those who do well and make our lives better. Some of us would like to give our hearty
thanks to Mel and Herb Simon and their families for all they've done in our community and statewide.
MoreDINING: Granite City is a chain champion
May 2, 2009
Lou HarryPeople will always make the case that Indianapolis doesn't need any more chain or franchised restaurants. I understand the
big-picture argument. I understand the desire for a greater regional culinary identity and the wish for a more adventurous
restaurant clientele. To be honest, though, a good meal can temporarily dismantle my regional pride.
MoreRedefining community in virtual and political reality
April 27, 2009
Bruce HetrickLast week, I made a presentation about social media to several hundred people at a Carmel Chamber of Commerce luncheon. We
talked about Facebook and Twitter, YouTube and Flickr, LinkedIn, blogging and more. I didn't answer the "how-to"
question. I answered the "whether-to" question. With some important cautions, my answer was "yes."
More'Buy local' offers no protection for bad businesses
April 27, 2009
Mike HicksThese days, the "buy local" crowd seems to have a stronger voice. I am gleeful about this for a variety of reasons,
but it
is helpful to view some of their claims with a bit of skepticism. At least that is what economists should do.
MoreLawmakers think 'gloomy' in spite of rosy forecast
April 27, 2009
Ed FeigenbaumSometimes the news is just so good you can't believe it, and that is just what happened with the state revenue forecast this
month.
MoreCentral Indiana could lead economic recovery
April 27, 2009
Drew KlacikEvery day, we get more bad economic news. While I'm not smart enough to know when the global economy will rebound or how strong
the rebound will be, I do believe central Indiana and the Midwest are well-positioned to lead the recovery.
MoreIs poor management Indiana's problem?
April 27, 2009
Morton MarcusHoosiers identify many factors contributing to our state's long-term economic difficulties. It is fashionable to blame our
workers. It is easy to decry a lack of natural amenities: no mountains, no coral reefs. Our public schools are inferior and
perhaps our higher education is overrated. Our taxes are too high but we have substandard government services. We ain't got
no culture. Rarely do we hear anyone say that our problem is management.
MoreHow IBJ is surviving the recession
April 27, 2009
Chris KatterjohnThis economy has been tough on just about everybody.
No matter what your choice of media, you can't escape the news about companies and entire industries challenged by the recession.
But what about the folks doing all that reporting?
MoreUniversal health care? Bring it on!
April 20, 2009
With American ingenuity, we can achieve universal health care coverage without the bloated administrative costs found in our
system of private insurance companies.
MoreRestaurants step up despite hard times
April 20, 2009
Restaurants are so often asked to support non-profits and many times give very generously—their support means so much
to local organizations.
MoreIs Twitter headed for greatness?
April 20, 2009
Twitter is attractive beyond the buzz. It "feels" like it is going to be something important.
MoreNew cabaret theater is a different animal
April 20, 2009
I think it is a mistake to call this American Cabaret Theatre when it really is in the piano bar tradition of cabaret that is popular in New York and Las Vegas, and not the vision that Claude McNeal brought to his American Cabaret Theatre when he first came to Indianapolis in 1990.
LOU'S VIEWS: Two ambitious shows yield mixed results
April 20, 2009
Lou HarryThis week, two ambitious shows—a new musical at Beef & Boards and magic realism at the Phoenix
MoreCompany in doubt? Don't blame auditor
April 20, 2009
Keep in mind, the auditor doesnâ??t run the businessâ??the businessâ?? management does.

It's also across the street from Fogo de Chao and Morton's....
Yep, the haters are trying to make good news bad. I guess it is hard to get people to believe the series is dying when they are gaining new sponsors.
David Copperfield! I remember watching his specials on TV when I was little.
Don't forget this is next to an MMA gym, a pawn shop, and some abandoned spaces.
Good project for Zionsville - A group who has owned the property for many years has waited and worked patiently to bring highest and best use development to a major corridor, and mix that in with the great downtown you have. Win Win. All the Best to Pittman Partners and Zionsville.
