MoreLOU'S VIEWS: Ife sculptures at IMA paint a thousand words
July 16, 2011
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).
MoreLOU'S VIEWS: Get a jump start on Indy International Film Festival
July 9, 2011

MoreLOU'S VIEWS: Conner Prairie's best raid plans
July 2, 2011
Lou HarryIf you asked me a week ago what I knew about Indiana’s direct involvement in the Civil War, you would have been met

Civil War Journey: Raid on Indiana” interactive exhibit at Conner Prairie.

MoreLOU'S VIEWS: 2011 Field Guide to 500 Festival celebrity spotting
May 21, 2011
Lou HarryEven if most of them aren’t showing off any talent beyond waving from a car on the parade route, there’s no denying
that celebrities visiting Indy for the 500 add a kick to the month of May. Of course, one person’s celebrity is another’s
“Who’s that?”

39 Steps,” the local premiere of the Broadway hit.

MoreLOU'S VIEWS: The closing of Borders ... read it and weep
March 26, 2011
Lou HarryThe coffee smell dissipates. The signs drop from 25%-50% off to 40%-60% off. Shelves of books migrate from soon-to-be-closed-off
sections to empty shelf space elsewhere, causing category labels to lose their meaning. Customers linger, wondering if a novel
unworthy of their $24 might be worthy of $12. This is how it ends for Indianapolis’ only downtown full-service bookshop.
MoreLOU'S VIEWS: Indy Opera's 'Carmen' shows upside of downsizing
March 19, 2011
Lou HarryWhen word went out that one of the three Indianapolis Opera presentations this season would be a production of “Carmen,”

some patrons may have lowered their expectations.

Lou HarryPlus thoughts on "Diary of Anne Frank" and Indianapolis Chamber Orchestra meets Chaplin
MoreLOU'S VIEWS: Palladium premieres
February 5, 2011
Lou HarryI’m not ready to use the word “perfect” but, in my lifetime, I honestly don’t expect to hear chamber
music in a better-sounding venue than I did Jan. 30.
MoreLOU'S VIEWS: Many are talented, but few are stars ... what makes the difference?
January 22, 2011
Lou HarryAs someone addicted to the arts, I’ve seen a lot of talent on stage. Every once in a while, though, I see star power.

See, I told u Indyman and Dipsicle....this 8 days is overkill. It's barely worth a weekend....great job Tony George! Your dream has been fulfilled....he fans want the I r l back. Thats how good it was.....and that sucked.
I have been in training for a short time now but right off I can see that safety and quality are the number one issues, my experience as of late has been a positive one, the employees along with Jeff the plant manager and the operation supervisor as well as the engineers are a highly motivated group of people, what an asset for the area to have and for company's in need of a quality metal products.
Pimlico
While I understand the severity of their actions as well as everyones eagerness to hold them responsible for thier lost funds, these gentlemen did know how to make money. Dispite thier poor decisions over the ownership of Fair they had made several wise investments which paid them greatly. This proves they do have the potential to rebuild so they can repay. I do not feel they should live the life of luxuary but given an opportunity could they find ways of repaying the debts? They are doing nothing now but being a burden on tax payers. Just a thought!!!!!
You guys have some "interesting" comments to say the least. I hope you will call in and share those opinions starting June 1. I'm looking forward to having you on the air.
