Ohio-based Franklin University’s move into the Indianapolis market sets up the potential for significant name confusion with
Franklin College, the liberal arts school 30 minutes south of Indianapolis.
Have some theater time on an upcoming business trip to New York? Here are three shows from the current season Broadway season. “Hair,” the self-proclaimed “American Tribal Love-Rock Musical,” is back on Broadway some 40 years after its taketheater-by-storm original production. And I’m very pleased to report that the musical groundbreaker’s latest incarnation isn’t a […]
It could get expensive. Ohio-based Franklin University’s decision to open a campus in Castleton sets up the potential for significant name confusion with Franklin College, the liberal arts school 30 minutes south of Indianapolis.

Indianapolis residents have been passionate about Ritter’s handmade frozen custard ever since it debuted almost two decades
ago. But while the ice cream is sweet, the story of the former mom-and-pop company’s attempts to morph into something grander
is decidedly bitter. Now, New York-based TruFoods, which bought the company in May 2008, is trying to get the formula
right.
Though plagued by debt, Allison Transmission recently plowed millions of dollars into experimental technology that could lead
to new products.
This St. Patrick’s Day, Tru-Foods LLC executive Gary Occhiogrosso got an object lesson in why his company’s acquisition of Ritter’s Frozen Custard either could be a great opportunity or a royal pain-or both.

This week, pirates take over Indianapolis Opera, and a trio of plays isn’t the half of it at the Humana Festival of New American
Plays.
This week, pirates take over Indianapolis Opera, and a trio of plays isn’t the half of it at the Humana Festival of New American Plays. There is no logical reason for a man to be accidentally indentured to a pirate king because of a minor error…and stay on board for years. There is no logical […]
