From Cory Schouten: For six years, I've used this space mostly
to share nuggets I found interesting about real estate in my hometown. My initial pitch for the blog called for inside baseball:
a collection of stories about real estate brokers and developers and the details behind their deals. But Property Lines evolved
into something a little more populist. It turns out people like to know what's going on in their neighborhoods, what stores
are coming to their malls, and whether a project's design will be acceptable to Property Lines readers. For me, writing
in this space has been a thrill, an excuse for me to explore the city, drive a different route home from work, and start buying
old Indianapolis postcards on eBay. During that time, I met dozens of great people, including my wife, and moved to a historic
home (circa 1925) in Butler Tarkington. Property Lines launched on March 21, 2007, so it seems fitting that I announce my
successor exactly six years later. I took over as IBJ's managing editor this week, an exciting new role that allows me
to work with incredibly talented journalists. Fortunately, one of them will be taking over this blog. Scott Olson has been
writing for IBJ for more than 14 years. He knows the city, has great local sources, and he's fired up about taking over
the real estate beat. He's already working on some great stories you'll get to enjoy in the coming days. (Please share
your tips with him at solson@ibj.com.) Meanwhile, I'll be responsible for editing the blog and, on occasion, contributing
reporting or maybe even a post for old time's sake. Thank you for your support of Property Lines.

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!
