Star wars? That phrase had a different meaning back in the golden age of Hollywood when the rivalry between screen divas Bette Davis and Joan Crawford was no secret.

You’ll understand why when you see the film. Details here.

Expensive bikes have been disappearing from downtown Indianapolis even though they've been locked up. Police say at least five locked bikes have been stolen in a small area of downtown near Massachusetts Avenue in the past 10 days. Two of the theft victims lost bikes worth $1,800 to $2,000.
