Sticking to the Ripple-WEB ONLY

Growing up in Broad Ripple, Ted Miller was one of the “kids on the bridge,” who hung out where Guilford Avenue passes over the Central Canal.

Persistence pays off-WEB ONLY

Catheter Research Inc. should have disappeared a long time ago.

A&E: ‘Crimes’ at the IRT-WEB ONLY

The best theatrical adaptations of literature don’t require that you first read the original. They aren’t “Cliff’s Notes.” They don’t tease. They exist independent of their sources.

DINING: ADOBO GRILL-WEB ONLY

I had friends who insisted for years that, when they went to Chicago, they had to go to Adobo Grill. When the restaurant opened up a location on Indy’s north side, those same friends, rather than celebrating, didn’t get around to dining there. And now that Adobo has moved downtown (its former space became the […]

NOTIONS: All of us Belongers, building castles in the sand-WEB ONLY

A year ago this week, my wife Cherí and I celebrated our first anniversary with the honeymoon we were too busy to take after our wedding.

Seasoned stock pros size up slump-WEB ONLY

Media pundits regularly call the current economic crisis the worst since the Great Depression. One of the few Indianapolis financial experts who’s actually qualified to make such a comparison is Donald C. “Danny” Danielson, the 89-year-old vice chairman of City Securities Corp. For Danielson, who still comes to work every business day, the Great Depression […]

SPORTS: Stern’s definition of ‘golden age’ is laughable-WEB ONLY

Of this, that and the other while wondering if NBA Commissioner David Stern had just taken a hit off Michael Phelps’ bong when he proclaimed this to be “the golden age of basketball” during his all-star weekend news conference in Phoenix. OK, perhaps the marijuana reference is a little harsh, but the golden age of […]

Battered lender lives on-WEB ONLY

One of the largest independent survivors of the subprime debacle is staking its future on a real estate appraisal business based in Indianapolis.

The Capital Improvement Board, short of cash and doing whatever it can to remain solvent, is considering asking a group of original investors in Circle Centre mall to forgive $34 million they loaned the city toward the construction of Conseco Fieldhouse back in 1997.
