IBJ StaffWe don’t expect all our holiday wishes for the New Year to come true. We’re not that naïve. But in this season
of hope, we’d like to offer these familiar refrains—and end with some proof that dreams do, sometimes, come true.

Mike HicksThere is a certain poignant irony in the U.S. Census Bureau’s release of 2010 poverty statistics this Christmas week.
It reminds us that, behind the green eyeshades of professional data collectors, the folks at the Census Bureau have an acute
marketing sense.

John Mutz / Special to IBJNo doubt about it. My vote for collective bargaining rights for teachers as a state senator in 1973 was a big mistake. Not
my only miscue in public life, but a whopper.

My favorite magician is Mickey in Fantasia.
I ate at a Steak n Shake a couple of weeks ago and was amused to see a poster of him (and a lineup of employees) just inside the entrance. You don't see that at other chains -- OK maybe Dave the Wendy's guy, but that was when he was also in their TV ads.
Well he wasn't a magician in the latest movie, but up in Fort Wayne he was featured on Happy the Hobo when I was a kid and I LOVED THE SHOW!

I really enjoyed the Hollywood Bar and Film works, they had good food and decent prices I understand that parking was one of the reasons for its closing. If other major events were going downtown parking was expensive if not impossible. Hope the new cinema bar will have parking.
