  1. First, it will always be Deer Creek to me.
    Second, apparently “Blue Dot Fever” has not his Indy….. yet.

    I thought Simon was out of touch when I experienced paid parking in a parking lot, but they have now been outdone.

    Take some Vit C fellas, because Blue Dot is coming to Indy.

  2. Having spent some of the best times of my life at Deer Creek, they have fully jumped the shark into an experience of price gouging misery. A big part of the problem is content. With the exception of country music, how many times can you repackage the same 80’s “rockers” with one or 2 original members in their 70’s?
    Side note: I would never touch a Ruoff financial product due to their branding. I assume a mortgage application costs $1000 and it cost $200 an hour to speak with one of their employees
