March 16, 2013

MoreRUSTHOVEN: Cento personified opportunity
March 16, 2013
Peter J. Rusthoven / Special to IBJIn the first block of South Meridian, a few paces north of Maryland, you will find next to the parking garage entrance a modest
establishment called Cento Shoes. It’s been there for over four decades, founded when L.S. Ayres was flourishing just
across the street and no one dreamed of a Circle Centre mall.
MoreWALDO: It’s inevitable that plans go wrogn
March 16, 2013
Charles Waldo / Special to IBJYears ago, Murphy observed, “If anything can go wrong, it will.” Murphy’s law has endured because, although
we might chuckle, it rings of truth.
MoreFEIGENBAUM: Geography, more than attitude, may shape fiscal debate

began.
MoreHICKS: Recent economic data hold little good news
March 16, 2013

with clear context on their meaning.

MoreUlterior motive at WFYI?
March 16, 2013
If National Public Radio [March 4] really wanted to draw more people to the terrestrial radio station, and maybe WFYI’s
website, the billboard message would read, for example, “Poetry-writing mechanics listen to NPR on 90.1 FM, WFYI.
MoreService matches students with meaningful internships

Bruce Hetrick made a great point in his [March 11] column “Ten tips to help those seeking jobs or internships,”
about how much stronger a résumé becomes when an internship experience is featured front and center.
MoreEDITORIAL: City-County Council doesn’t need fixing
March 9, 2013
As the second half of the legislative session begins to heat up, one of the bills still in play deserves calling out for its
blatantly political intent.
MoreMORRIS: After long winter, thinking of parks and how we fund them
March 9, 2013
Greg MorrisI know we had snow last week, but spring is almost here. Daylight saving time is just kicking in. We’ve been cooped
up much of this winter, and it feels like it’s way past time to get up, get outside and MOVE! That means we’re
about to see more people outside taking advantage of our parks and greenways, something that far too many of us take for granted.
MoreKENNEDY: A matter of perspective
March 9, 2013
Sheila Suess KennedyIf there is one observation increasingly endorsed by conservatives and liberals alike, it is this: American government isn’t
working. Not in Washington, and not in a growing number of states.

MoreSKARBECK: Don't get overly excited about new index records
March 9, 2013
Ken SkarbeckThe frenzy surrounding a new market high tends to raise the blood pressure in investors. It seems to stimulate a feeling that
they need to “do something.”
MoreALTOM: Hire a chief information officer before it's too late
March 9, 2013
Tim AltomThe position is meant to be more than a glorified tech support desk. It should be the office where infrastructure growth is
planned and merged with the company’s overall goals.
MoreFEIGENBAUM: General Assembly is Senate-centric this term
March 9, 2013
Ed FeigenbaumCynics might suggest the General Assembly really hasn’t accomplished much since convening in January. While that’s

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
Magician and illusionist!
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.
