You-review-it Monday

You had lots of choices this weekend, with "The Lyons" opening at the Phoenix Theatre, First Friday gallery stops througout downtown, Oscar-winning movies to catch up on at a theater near you, "Sister Act" raising the roof at the Murat (see my review here), and lots more. Or maybe you stayed home and read a book-which would be fine, too.

So what did you experience on the A&E front over the past few days? 

Your thoughts?

Oh, and if you act now, there's still a chance to win tickets to Dance Kaleidoscope's "Piaf Plus" here.

    Hillbilly Happy Hour at the Melody Inn, with Indy's own Gamblin' Christmas and Columbus, Ohio-based Mike's Wilson. You can't call either of those acts strictly country, but some element of "hillbilly" definitely applies. At 5 bucks, HHH is consistently one of the best bargains in Indy. Then Saturday, ukuleles at Indy Hostel with the kids! Flea Bitten Dawgs and Uncle Elvis. You'd be amazed at the depth of ukulele music that the Dawgs can do. Love the Hostel as a family friendly venue.

    We indulged in all manner of entertainment this weekend. Friday night we attended the Ice Miller WFYI Wine Tasting event. Saturday, we donned our masks for a night of dinner and dancing to Lemon Wheel the 9th Annual Gaia Works Masquerade Ball to benefit Coburn Place. This year the Wyndham outdid themselves on the buffet. The food was delicious and the meat was melt in your mouth tender. Already have my calendar marked for the 10th anniversary ball March 1, 2014. I hear it will be a roaring 20s theme. Finally, we wrapped up the weekend with Natalie MacMaster at the Palladium. If you enjoy bluegrass or Celtic music, MacMaster is NOT to be missed. This was the second of her concerts we were lucky enough to attend. And if you like Celtic fiddle, be sure to catch local Celtic fiddler Emily Anne Thompson around town.

  1. Doug Henning!

  2. These guy were thugs — they grew up in freaking Haughville! Smh, sigh. If the mayor needs/wants "quality" Black Hoosiers who are NOT corrupt, give me a call — I know plenty. Land bank info here - http://www.kubepharm.com/indylandbank/IndyLandBank.html

  3. Magician and illusionist!

  4. The basic idea of nice apartments with parking and retail is a good one, but this design seems overwhelmingly big/tall for Broad Ripple. The size could be disguised a bit with lots of big trees/landscaping, but the complex is too massive to blend in easily. That section of canal between College and Westfield will also need to be upgraded on both sides. Nice apartments facing onto a nice promenade with shade trees/plantings could bring together the canal towpath/Monon recreation, the outdoor seating at existing restaurants, and this project into something that upgrades the whole area. A plan for the whole stretch makes more sense than facing nice new housing onto what looks like a ditch. Is there a plan? Does the public have input? Who pays? The apartment idea seems to be reasonable, but Whole Foods is not a good idea for appropriate retail. Besides the store being physically too big, there are already Fresh Market at 54xCollege and Whole Foods in Nora for fancy groceries. Good Earth and Kroger are within walking distance of the Shell site. There are at least 7 grocery stores within a safe bike ride. Whole Foods would add nothing but traffic congestion. This design is on the right track, but there needs to be more work done to ensure that it blends in with and enhances the existing community. A project that large will set a tone for that whole part of town. It could be a real asset, but only if done right.

  5. I did not move to Zionsville to live in Carmel. This and the subsequent developments to follow will ensure a vanilla uniformity of strip malls and apartment buildings as we seek to bring our town down to the least common denominator. We were warned before recent elections that pro-development council members would make sure their friends (landowners and developers) would be able to make their millions off of the exploitation of Zionsville. Why in God's name would we sell out the best preserved small town in the State of Indiana?
