Indians pull own weight-WEB ONLY
The Indianapolis Indians are a financial all-star. Not only does the AAA minor-league baseball franchise bring 600,000 people downtown each spring and summer, the team is profitable-it scored $1.23 million last year. Some local officials wrestling with the Capital Improvement Board’s $37 million deficit think part of that profit should come into play. With a […]
Dow may need to sell agro biz-WEB ONLY
Financially strapped Dow Chemical Co. acknowledges it may sell Indianapolis-based Dow AgroSciences LLC, the ag-chemicals-and-biotech firm that’s one of the biggest jewels in the city’s life sciences crown. Dow Chemical CEO Andrew Liveris said on a Feb. 3 conference call with analysts that the Midland, Mich.-based company has teams working with investment banks to evaluate […]
SPORTS: Finding bright spots amid wave of bad sports news-WEB ONLY
Locally, the Capital Improvement Board is swimming in red ink and trying to figure how to fund our glistening sports venues-Lucas Oil Stadium, Conseco Fieldhouse and Victory Field. The Indiana Pacers report losing money nine of the last 10 years. And this year’s team seems to be sliding toward a spot in the NBA draft […]
Finish Line ready to test new store-WEB ONLY
The Finish Line Inc. is preparing to unveil a new concept called Decibel that eventually could replace its struggling Man Alive franchise. The locally based retailer plans to rebrand four Man Alive stores, including one at Castleton Square Mall, for an April launch. It also will rework the product mix in four other stores that […]
A&E: A symphony premiere: Hahn for the record books-WEB ONLY
This week, emptying the notebook on recent work at the ISO, the Phoenix and the IRT. Who says you can’t have a do-over at a symphony concert? Virtuoso violinist Hilary Hahn called for just that after being lost shortly into the brutal third movement of Jennifer Higdon’s world premiere violin concerto (which she played without […]
DINING: BUFFALO WILD WINGS-WEB ONLY
Buffalo Wild Wings made a fresh foray into downtown late last year, moving into long-vacant at 7 E. Washing ton St.-just a block north of the Maryland Street location another franchisee gave up on in 2007. What a difference a block makes. The new B-Dubs (951-9464) is much more welcoming than its predecessor, in large […]
EYE ON THE PIE: I dreamed I saw Barack last night-WEB ONLY
I had a dream that I met with President Obama during his visit to Elkhart. It was just before breakfast in a school gymnasium. He was shooting baskets with one hand and drinking orange juice with the other. “A little one-onone?” he asked. “No,” I answered. “My basketball days are over.” “What do you do […]

EDITORIAL: Time to lower liquor barrier-WEB ONLY
Indiana liquor distributors are small and some of their counterparts outside the state are huge, so it’s understandable why the locals are desperate to preserve an old statute banning out-of-state competitors. But let’s be real. Protectionist measures like this one should have been axed decades ago. They make about as much sense as township government. […]

$3.5 billion. 200 feet deep. 20 miles long. 15 years.-WEB ONLY
Try to imagine a space large enough to hold as much water as thunders over Niagara Falls in five minutes. Now imagine stashing that water beneath Indianapolis in a cavity nearly as deep underground as the Indiana Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Monument on Monument Circle is high. That’s the goal of city engineers and consultants as […]
