Imagining Indianapolis without The Indianapolis Star used to be unthinkable. The city’s daily newspaper has been landing on front porches for 106 years, telling readers how their government is performing or whether to expect rain or snow. Today, life without a daily newspaper isn’t so far-fetched. Many people, especially younger readers, abandoned it long ago […]
Creating a self-contained community on 1,700 acres of farmland could take much longer than the 15 to 20 years Duke Realty Corp. predicted. The Indianapolis-based real estate company has been working since 2003 on Anson, its ambitious mixed-use development in southeastern Boone County. Anson could become the largest neo-urban-style community in the state. But as […]
This week, art in the wind and an original musical Seeing still images of George Rickey’s stainless steel work, shining like flamboyant cousins of the “2001: A Space Odyssey” monolith, you might easily write them off as cold. Maybe even redundant and uninteresting. It’s a given that photos don’t do justice to most outstanding works […]
For 18 years, Barney Levengood has held one of the toughest and most important jobs in the city. He oversees the operation of the Indiana Convention Center, Conseco Fieldhouse and Lucas Oil Stadium as executive director of the Capital Improvement Board.

Clarian Health and the Indiana University School of Medicine want to turn 1,500 or more doctors into employees under a new group called the Indiana Clinic. Bringing so many physicians together from all specialties could allow them to improve quality, reduce costs and perhaps boost Clarian’s central Indiana market share. It also is likely to […]
I am having coffee with Herman Hardhed, chief tax analyst for the Independent caucus of the Indiana General Assembly. I want his take on the departure of that august body without passing a budget for the coming biennium. “Herman,” I say, “the highest annual rate of inflation since the end of World War II was […]
When I moved to southeastern Hamilton County eight years ago, it was largely a culinary wasteland. Sure, my husband and I found a couple of good local eateries and a bar or two with decent food, but it didn’t take long for us-and our out-of-town-guests-to grow weary of the limited options. “Sahm’s?

As I drove to work May 12, I listened as local talk-show radio host, WXNT-AM 1430’s Abdul Hakim-Shabazz seized on a blog report that the owner of the National Hockey League Vancouver Canucks was considering a bid to purchase the Indiana Pacers and move them to the Canadian city. There was nothing to confirm that […]

Even on a fledgling cable channel, the events surrounding the Indianapolis 500 continue to be an attraction—though I’m sure the Indy Racing League’s new TV partner was hoping for better. Pole Day qualifications…
