So did you get dragged to see "The Andrews Brothers" with Actors Theatre of Indiana? Did Christopher Cross leave his Symphony on the Prairie concert on a high note? Feel ancient at the "Dynasty and Divinity" show at the IMA?

What did you catch this weekend?

Your thoughts?

    Does Franklin count? Saw West Side Story at the historic Artcraft. Fantastic and inexpensive.

    I took my mom to opening night of Church Basement Ladies 2: A Second Helping at Beef & Boards on Thursday night. Having missed the B&B production of CBL 1 last year, we weren't sure what to expect. Even without seeing the first one, CBL 2 didn't disappoint. It was both heartwarming and funny. Being descended from Minnesota Norwegian Lutherans, I had moments if eerie discomfort as I felt my grandmother and great aunts were right there in the room.

    Great concert Sunday night at Redeemer Presbyterian Church by Derek Webb, Sandra McCracken, and Kenny Meeks. Wonderful, intimate setting!

    Saw a terrific Indigo Girls concert at the Palladium Sunday night. Almost two straight hours of great music in front of an enthusiastic crowd.

    Christopher Cross was a good show! The first half featured music from TV shows from the 50s-70s, so that was fun. Then Chris sang the second half. He did the biggies and mixed in some new stuff. I thought his voice didn't sound very strong for his opener ("Sailing"), but he got better. He closed on "Ride Like the Wind," of course.

  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.
