For me, it was a lower-than-usual key A&E weekend with only a trip to the suddenly Libman-free Center for the Performing Arts for the ribbon cutting of the new Tarkington Theatre.

Okay, I also watched some reruns of "How I Met Your Mother."

How about you? Were you more motivated than I was and get out to Symphony on the Prairie? To the Bella Latina show at the Cabaret at the Columbia Club? To the multiplex for "Cowboys and Aliens"?

What did you hear, see or otherwise do this weekend?

    Caught "The Eel Catchers," which I thought was very well-performed and staged, but the play itself dawdled a bit for my taste -- I kept waiting for something to happen. But I am curious about who put on this play. The program listed Rondi Reed prominently among the associate producers. Is that the same Rondi Reed from "August: Osage County" and currently "Mike and Molly?" It must be. I know she's based in Chicago. Anyone know the history behind this show's production -- how the (local) author got his script to s someone's attention, etc.?

    Went with my family to "Mini Corndogs and Carnage," in Tallmadge Ohio. This is like a convention for Junior Roller Derby teams. I announce games locally and was a guest announcer, there. There were teams from Chicago, Nashville, Cleveland, Indy and Toronto.

    I don't know anything about the history of the production of the world premiere of "The Eel Catchers" but I loved seeing it last Saturday night. The attractive actors in it skillfully portray broken human beings whose stories are much more important to them than to their later-to-become iconic prisoner.

    I usually prefer plot-driven plays (and books), too, but this character-driven play really got to me.

  1. So the Mayor adds another non value added layer to having a vehicle towed? Whereby the City Government RECIEVES AN ILLEGAL KICKBACK FROM A LGOISTICS COMPANY THAT SUBS THE WORK TO LOCAL TOW COMPANIES? What is the service the City performs for receiving the "tribute"? This is RICO!!!!! What a corrupt and unnecessary layer. What a dirtbag Mayor and his cronies.

  2. Owner occupied housing. Clear enough?

  3. So people think I am paranoid. It's from experience in dealing with puds requested by developers who make major donations themselves to representatives, have nice fund raisers for those running for office and hide through pac's. then there are the public relation firms. You will note some pr comments below. You there Clyde Lee? My opinion. Commercial along 421, great. Multifamily housing, terrible idea that will change the town. Senior condos or zero lot line homes west, great. I suggest keeping all entries to commercial areas at 421. All entries to owner occupied on sycamore. Will keep the traffic on sycamore down some. Two other things. You can't trust what will be there in 10 years. Steve builds quality stuff, but areas change over time. Look at the changes at the wall mart center at 86th and 421 over the last 10 years. Look at the apartments and neighborhoods behind St Vincent's. Raintree properties WILL decrease in value if commercial and multifamily goes in near. It has already been happening around the bridges area. The houses that have been sold recently are way below market. Several deals not closed due to the Illinois construction and the whole unsurety of the bridges. It's pretty simple, Zionsville will approve the whole thing because the city council has been groomed over a LONG period of time for this. I might even suggest some are in their position as a result of this.

  4. Esta, do you have a dog in this fight? You seem to really want to knock anyone against this project. No, I didn't move to Indiana for the architecture. I moved here for that red barn in the field. The horses and fields of corn. A place that is NOT overdeveloped. There are plenty of nearby places in Indianapolis that could be REDEVELOPED instead.

  5. RKW - OK, we get it, you're paranoid. The question is, are you paranoid enough? Greg - Yes, Pittman(s) is (are) at it again. They are developers, they build things. It's what they do. So when you go to work tomorrow, Greg, you're at it again too. Cliff - Really? You moved to Indiana for its progressive architecture? That's like moving to England for the cuisine. Zionsvillain - The house you moved to was once a field or woods. I'm willing to bet folks were upset when that ground was plowed under and a house was built. But I guess now that you are in, everything should stop? "My house was OK, but the next one is sprawl." SE Guy - Please don't paint us with such a wide brush. Most reasonable Zionsville residents welcome planned, measured development.
