DINING: Backward-named eatery, forward-thinking fusion
July 6, 2009
Lou HarrySearch the Web for Naisa and you may come up with the North American International Auto Show or the Native American and Indigenous
Studies Association. Neither has anything to do with the new Naisa Pan-Asian Cafe (1025 Virginia Ave., 602-3708), where the
name comes from simply reversing the letters in the word Asian.

Andrea Muirragui DavisOne of just three Maker’s Mark restaurants in the country—the others are in Louisville, Ky., and Kansas City,

meccas.
MoreBASILE: Following in the footsteps of Darwin in the Galapagos

MoreGUY: What price company leadership?

MoreDINING: Game on at food-and-play spot
June 22, 2009
Lou HarryWhen you play Skee-ball and aim for the
100-point hole, you miss most of the time. However, if you aim for the 30, you have a much better chance
of scoring. You might not get a high score, but you'll win enough
tickets to want to play again. How does that translate into my dining
experience at the new Dave & Buster's?
MoreEDITORIAL: Project near MSA may be worth the risk

oversight.

June 22, 2009
Kris KindelspergerLife has changed in higher education and changed very rapidly. The value of most endowments, just like our portfolios and
401(k)s, has plummeted. Today, institutions with the strongest bottom lines are likely to be those with strong management

Saw the Indy Men's Chorus "Music of Gilbert & Sullivan" at the Indiana Historical Society on Sunday evening.
Temporary workers are not "tools" they are people and companies that keep large amounts of temp staff are cheating.
I miss having them around. I hope one of their stores is in the general Meridian/86th Street area. I will make good use of it.
The Fringe! Plus, the simple fact that there are so many local faves in such close proximity to each other.
I remenber, watching the toll road, being built, through South Bend, when I was 10 years old. I believe, back then that it was estimated, that the toll road, would be paid for in 20 years and then it would be free. I am now 71, what happened? Since the power is in the people, by that, I mean that, we the people are in total control of everything. I, suggest that no one ever use the toll road again, let it go broke. We the people can control the price of everything, from groceries to gas, if we would just do it. If we don't pay the asking price, the sellers will lower the price and if we wait awhile, they will lower the price to what we accept as reasonable. I would like to know why a highway like interstate 94, is so well maintained, a much better highway, than the toll road, but has no tolls. I would also like to know why, a sitting governor, with a term limit, maximum of eight years, can lease, public property, for 75 years. Even though I have transponders in both of my trucks and will not be affected by the increase, I have been and will contine to avoid using the toll road. I make many trips from northern Indiana to Chicago, every year, and I prefer the better highway, I94!
