You-review-it Monday

For me, it was a wall-to-wall weekend (in a good way), with A&E action ranging from Art vs. Art at the Vogue to the International Violin Competition of Indianapolis--and room for "Mary Poppins" in between.

And you? Did you make it to one of those or to something else over the last few days?

Your thoughts?

    Never been before - quaint neighborhood, very small festival, but it was such a nice day to walk along the canal and find this little event tucked away from all the hub-bub. If you're used to the big art fairs, you'd be disappointed, but if you're just out to enjoy a community event on a beautiful fall day, it's nice to stop by.

    We went to see The Producers at Footlite. A very good production with some very talented people. I think it was best summed up as ambitious, and they did a good job.

    Art vs. Art headlined the Vogue Friday night and it felt like half the town was there. Fun, energetic crowd and really entertaining event made for a wonderful night out for a good cause.

  • The Producers at Footlite

    We saw The Producers at Footlite Musicals in downtown Indy. It had to be the best local production I think I've ever seen. Everything was top-notch. The actors were funny and endearing, the singing was amazing, the costumes were stunning, the sets were interesting. If Footlite can continue at this caliber, there'll be no problem filling Civic's shoes when they head north. Actually, I can't imagine Civic doing such a risque' show. Perhaps they've surpassed Civic's reputation with this production?

  1. First, let me say that I love the idea of communities being self-sufficient and people in the community not needing cars, living, working and shopping all in their neighborhood. To sum it up; I love good urban planning and hate urban sprawl. However, there are two reasons that I am against this development. First, this building doesn't fit. Density can occur in Ripple by building up top the street and better use of land. The scale of this project should be downtown. Secondly, I would be willing to bet that if a whole foods in Ripple is built, the Nora store would be closed. Here's my reasoning. The Nora Whole Foods expansion plans have been put on hold. I'm guessing they are waiting to see what happens with the Ripple proposal. Communities next to each other should work together to end sprawl and not work against each other and take other neighbors assets. Develop something both communities can be proud of and will attract more development and density. There's my soap box for the day.

  2. My apologies, Lou - it was the Indy Star that printed cost for entertaining "celebrities" during Indy 500. Sorry for confusing the always timely IBJ with Indy's Gannett reprint news source.

  3. That's fine if you want a grocery store that has festivals and live music. I guess with the prices they charge, they can afford to host such activities. As for me, I choose to spend my money more wisely and if I want to go to a festival or a concert, I will pay for that separately - not through my grocery bill.

  4. TIF is not just to attract development but to attract a higher use for that development. Carmel wisely is using TIF for numerous public parking garages. Asphalt seas of parking pay little taxes and bring even less value to a commercial area. Also density is what is going to save Indy and Broad Ripple. The days of trying to compete with burbs are long gone.

  5. The Prestige was an awesome movie.
