VIEWPOINT: Let’s bring art and commerce together

December 17, 2007

Back in 1992, when I was a board member of Historic Landmarks Foundation of Indiana, then-president Reid Williamson invited me to walk through a building slated for demolition. Given my passion for cars and history, Reid knew I would be intrigued by the place where the Stutz Motor Car Co. once manufactured the Bearcat and Torpedo Roadster. And I was. But it wasn’t just the longvacant Stutz Building’s legacy that got my attention; it was also its potential. Yes, the…

FUNNY BUSINESS: ‘Twas the office pitch-in before Christmas

December 17, 2007

I love this time of year … the lights, the music, the hustle and bustle of shoppers rushing from optometrist to optometrist trying to use up their flex spending money before the year runs out. And then there are the holiday greetings. How meaningful and thoughtful they are, especially the ones that begin, “Due to lower-than-expected performance in the first three quarters, the traditional holiday bonus will this year be replaced with the enclosed certificate good for 50 percent off…

A&E: ‘Scoundrels’ con at Clowes; we play games at home

December 17, 2007

This week, thoughts on “Dirty Rotten Scoundrels” at Clowes Hall,” new games from Indiana manufacturer Fundex, and a handful of holiday movie releases. The con game musical “Dirty Rotten Scoundrels” jauntily bounced into Clowes Hall on Dec. 11 for a week-long stay and withstood a lifeless opening 15 minutes or so before at last making a connection with the crowd. Swinging charts, clever lyrics, relatively foolproof physical comedy moments and a patient crowd willing to chuckle at every smutty line…

Commentary: Here’s a script Capra would love

December 17, 2007

I am going to chat with Angelo Pizzo, author of the best sports film of all time. Pizzo is the writer and coproducer of feature films “Hoosiers” and “Rudy.” He and I will debut “Mickey’s Corner,” a project patterned after TV’s Bravo Network program “Inside the Actor’s Studio.” The conversation will happen Jan. 16 at 7 p.m. at the Jewish Community Center, 6701 Hoover Road. Why don’t you drop in? Pizzo grew up in Bloomington and stayed home for his…

Report: Atlanta trying to lure football shrine

December 11, 2007

Atlanta officials are in “extensive negotiations” to attract the College Football Hall of Fame from its South Bend home to the city’s Centennial Olympic Park, the Atlanta Business Chronicle reported late last week. Citing sources close to the negotiations, the newspaper said the talks have not advanced to the point of involving Atlanta Mayor Shirley […]

A&E: Patty melts ‘Yuletide’ hearts

December 10, 2007

It’s been a good number of years since I’ve joined what seems like half of central Indiana at the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra’s “Yuletide Celebration.” That’s no slight to the institution, just a reality of my arts going-I tend to gravitate toward the new experience rather than the familiar. And traditions of any kind are built on familiarity. Which sets me against the flow of concert- and theatergoers this month. After all, December is the time of Nutcrackers, Scrooges and carol-based…

A&E: A&E goes on a road trip: ‘Wicked’ in the Windy City

December 3, 2007

Musical-theater buffs in Indianapolis know that an occasional trip to Chicago is a must. Savvy ticket buyers willing to schlep up Interstate 65 have gotten advance looks at such longrunning Broadway hits as “Mamma Mia!,” “Aida,” “Monty Python’s Spamalot” and “The Producers” before they opened in New York (and years before their tours arrived here). Right now, though, the big musical draws in Chicago-“Wicked” and “Jersey Boys”-aren’t pre- but, rather, post-Broadway. And more than just stopping in the Windy City…

Medco likes Daniels, ‘entrepreneurial spirit’

November 14, 2007

Gov. Mitch Daniels’ personal involvement and the “entrepreneurial spirit” of the Indiana Economic Development Corp. were among the reasons Medco Health Solutions announced Nov. 12 that it had chosen the Indianapolis area over Louisville for the location of a $150 million pharmaceutical distribution center. The sentiment was expressed by Medco President Kenneth Klepper in The […]

EXCLUSIVE: $480M downtown project in works

November 9, 2007

A development team is finalizing plans for a $480 million mixed-use project that calls for condos, as many as three hotels, a theater and 175,000 square feet of retail space just south of downtown. The project, Legends District-SODO, could be one of the largest private developments in the city’s history. It would sprawl over 11 […]

Bean Field popular tailgate site: Compromise over parking at new stadium keeps decades-long tradition alive

October 29, 2007

How’s this for irony? The state’s nowscuttled plans to raze N.K. Hurst Co.’s headquarters to make way for Lucas Oil Stadium parking would have paved over a long-standing Colts game-day tradition. The Indianapolis-based bean company has hosted Colts tailgate parties before every home game since the 1980s. Its McCarty Street parking lot-known as Hurst Bean Field-is a short stroll from the RCA Dome and in the shadows of the Colts’ new home, making it a hit with tailgaters. “It’s a…

A&E: Scorned women on stages at IU and Fountain Square

October 29, 2007

Perhaps the most performed American opera, “Susannah” tells of a good woman brought down by the hypocrisy of her Appalachian town. Spotted bathing nude in a creek by townspeople looking for a spot for revival meeting baptisms, the parentless 19-year-old’s reputation and spirit are soon destroyed by gossip-and the visiting preacher. It’s an opera with sex (implied), death (thanks to an angry brother), religion (including a revival service) and-something you don’t see in many operas-square dancing. What it also has…

NOTIONS: Learning while teaching the college freshmen

October 22, 2007

I spent two days last week in Bloomington, visiting my alma mater. I walked tree-lined paths I walked 30 years ago, spoke from the front of an auditorium where I once faded into the middle-row masses, grabbed pizza for dinner with some journalism students and their professor. In my lectures, I told the undergrads how I got from there to here. How, at their age, I had no idea what I wanted to be when I grew up. How a…

Commentary: Exclusion isn’t a Christian value

October 22, 2007

Here’s an idea. Let’s establish a chamber of commerce for whites only. Yep, just for “us.” Let’s join forces for further empowerment, more success and greater marketplace impact. It is time we came out of the closet and enjoyed the fruits that living white brings our companies, our employees, and our homes and families. Let’s call it the Indiana White Chamber of Commerce. We’ll get together to celebrate being white and to further our association, serve the community, enhance one…

Experts look into the future of health care: Industry panelists disagree on whether current system needs radical changes

October 15, 2007

Five local industry leaders conducted a serious debate over problems and issues facing our health care system during the most recent installment in Indianapolis Business Journal’s Power Breakfast series. The event took place at the Downtown Marriott hotel on Sept. 21 The panelists: Robert Brody, president and CEO of St. Francis Hospital & Health Centers, the Indianapolis-area’s fourth-largest hospital system. Brody has been chief executive at St. Francis since 1996. Dr. Robert Mouser, a primary care physician at Cornerstone Family…

A&E: ‘Hamlet’ halved; a flute sans magic:

October 8, 2007

A&E ‘Hamlet’ halved; a flute sans magic This week, I empty the notebook on IRT’s truncated “Hamlet,” the Indianapolis Opera’s “The Magic Flute,” an iconoclastic singer/songwriter at the Egyptian Room and passion in Chicago. At about half the play’s full length, it’s difficult for “Hamlet”-a great work-to be more than just a good one. With every minute reduced, the classic runs a greater risk of becoming more external and less internal. Text cutting is expected in just about any Shakespeare…

LESSONS LEARNED JENNIFER Q SMITH Queen of Fuzz, AvantGarb: Have

September 24, 2007

LESSONS LEARNED JENNIFER Q SMITH Queen of Fuzz, AvantGarb Have It’s hard to take Jennifer Q Smith too seriously. Oh, she’s the consummate professional, to be sure-responding to an e-mail inquiry about her company with the speed and savvy you’d expect from someone who has run her own business for 20 years. Her marketing materials are slick, her shtick smooth. Her northeast-side work space is clearly well used. But the hot pink fuzz ball that looms in the entryway (dressed…

ECONOMIC ANALYSIS: How Wal-Mart fulfills the promise of its new slogan

September 24, 2007

Economists usually don’t follow marketing slogans, but Wal-Mart’s shift from its “Always Low Prices” slogan to “Save Money, Live Better” caught my eye. The slogan is based on a study by the national consultancy firm Global Insight. During a 2005 conference on Wal-Mart, Global Insight’s economists released a study showing the average American family saved a little more than $2,300 annually by shopping at Wal-Mart. The current marketing campaign uses updated estimates of Wal-Mart’s savings at about $2,500 per year…

Commentary CHRIS KATTERJOHN: A world-class weekend in Indy

September 17, 2007

The weekend of Sept. 7-9 was nothing short of world-class here in Indianapolis. I’m not even taking into account the Thursday before, Sept. 6, which featured the Start with Art luncheon in the Convention Center, attended by some 1,200 people. The luncheon kicks off the fall arts season and celebrates the importance of the arts-a theme that will run throughout this column. Later in the afternoon and evening on Sept. 6, our city was the focal point of NFL hysteria…

Health hot spot rises in Brownsburg

September 17, 2007

Plans abound to bring new health care facilities to Brownsburg, one of Hendricks County’s fast-growing towns. Some familiar
local names, such as OrthoIndy, St. Vincent Health and Clarian Health Partners, all have claims to land in the Brownsburg
area.
