Brokers revise plan for key lots-WEB ONLY
The owners of two vacant buildings and a fenced lot along Washington Street downtown aren’t giving up on redevelopment even after their plans for a $40 million mixed-use structure fell apart. A group called Uptown Realty Investors led by brokers John Demaree and Bill Ehret is talking with potential restaurant tenants to anchor a new […]
A&E: ‘Pirates’ anchored by strong performances-WEB ONLY
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 […]
SPORTS: Is city losing passion for amateur sports?-WEB ONLY
Once upon a time, Pan Am Plaza was one of the most vibrant gathering spaces in our city. No longer. Awaiting the redevelopment that depends on an economic recovery, it is virtually empty, its bricks and concrete crumbling. Unabated winds blowing through it carry with them the whisper of past glories, when anything in our […]
Incoming HHGregg CEO: ‘We need to stay humble’-WEB ONLY
HHGregg Inc. had only 18 stores when Dennis L. May left the bankrupt Sun Television and Appliances chain in Ohio about 10 years ago to join the locally based company. Today, HHGregg has 108 stores and stands as a rare survivor in a crowded field of home technology retailers. And the closure of Circuit City […]
DINING: NOAH GRANT’S-WEB ONLY
If-and, trust me, this is pure fantasy-I took Lou Grant and Ulysses S. Grant to Noah Grant’s Grill House & Raw Bar (65 S. First St., Zionsville), I believe the two would lean heavily on the grill side of the lunch menu, digging into perhaps the Steak Sandwich ($8.95), although they’d have to contend with […]
Cultural institutions fear bear-market toll-WEB ONLY
Cost-cutting and layoffs at the city’s museums and full-time orchestra haven’t brought many visible changes so far. The scenario could darken considerably in 2010, 2011 and 2012, as cultural institutions fully account for devastating investment losses in their endowments-a key source of income. “It’s a bigger problem than what most people think,” said Andy Bawel, […]
EDITORIAL: Pacers bailout no slam dunk-WEB ONLY
Call it March Madness-NBA style. The Indiana Pacers franchise needs $15 million a year beginning in 2010-presumably from the public-to fund the operation of Conseco Fieldhouse. The franchise says it can’t afford to operate the venue, where it claims to have lost money every year but one since moving in 10 years ago. That’s madness. […]
Stage designer sets the scene-WEB ONLY
With one hand, Rob Koharchik refills his tall coffee cup with liquid energy. With the other, he cradles rolled-up floor plans like a football. He quickly climbs several flights of dark concrete steps to reach a small stage, where a worker on a lift is filling a jury-rigged bucket with fake flower petals. In less […]

Illinois Building may be rescued-WEB ONLY
A 10-story downtown building that’s been vacant more than five years and labeled one of the state’s most endangered historic structures soon may see new life. Local developer Halakar Properties Inc. has put the Illinois Building under contract, and has been meeting with city officials about a tax abatement that could help return retail space […]
MARCUS: Things aren’t as bad as we think-WEB ONLY
The jokesters in the Indiana General Assembly once again have shown their incredible ability to play the fools. True, it only takes a committee to commit laughable acts beyond the dreams of circus clowns. The entire Legislature need not be involved. This time, a selection of our representatives rejected efforts to rid the state of […]
Cabaret comeback
Since I first started writing about arts in Indianapolis in the mid-90s, I’ve been baffled as to why the American Cabaret Theatre offered so little traditional cabaret.
The format of cabaret is fairly simple: A singer and an accompanist (sometimes a…
Indiana suffers top jump in jobless claims-WEB ONLY
Indiana reported the biggest increase among states in new jobless claims for the week ending March 7, with a jump of more than 5,500, which it attributed to layoffs in the auto and manufacturing industries. Nationally, new jobless claims fell more than expected last week, but continuing claims set a record for the eighth straight […]
McVey to challenge Burton in 5th District-WEB ONLY
Hamilton County businessman Brose McVey has announced he will challenge incumbent Rep. Dan Burton for the Republican nomination for Indiana’s 5th District Congressional seat in next year’s election. McVey, a former aide to Dan Quayle and Dan Coats when they were senators, was the 7th District GOP nominee in 2002, when he lost to the […]
