Robbed-WEB ONLY
Banks prefer not to talk about it. But during the last three years, 97 Marion County branches have been robbed. That’s more than one in three. And a few unlucky institutions have been robbed repeatedly. “One of the things we know, if you think about crime in general, it’s not random,” said Terry Baumer, director […]
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 […]
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…
Lilly would pile on debt to acquire Bristol-Myers-WEB ONLY
After two mega-mergers last week among pharma companies, the buzz grew deafening with speculation about future mergers, including the possibility of Eli Lilly and Co. linking up with Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. Indianapolis-based Lilly has steadfastly said it’s not interested in big mergers. But even if Lilly wanted to merge, does it have the capital to […]

LOU’S VIEWS: At IMA, the shape of things that came
This week, the IMA celebrates design, the IRT attempts a rewritten French farce, and the Phoenix puts its stamp on “Mauritius.”
A&E: At IMA, the shape of things that came-WEB ONLY
This week, the IMA celebrates design, the IRT attempts a rewritten French farce, and the Phoenix puts its stamp on “Mauritius.” Interactivity is a buzzword in museums today. But, for me, the best exhibition interactivity doesn’t come through carefully placed computer kiosks, you-try-it activities or seek-andfind activity pages. It happens when you see a painting, […]

It’s in water-cooler jugs and 64-ounce Coke bottles backlit by fluorescent tubes, back in the lab. But the main act at Stellarwind is “the […]

Welcome Big Ten influx doesn’t displace locals-WEB ONLY
St. Elmo Steak House is a downtown dinner destination that typically has little trouble attracting patrons tempted by its signature shrimp cocktail. The next four days will be no different. But this weekend’s reservation list is heavy on out-of-town guests hungry for both filet mignon and Big Ten basketball. All told, visitors in town for […]

Indianapolis Mayor Greg Ballard announced this morning that he and city officials will travel to Brazil in May to explore renewable-energy production, in hopes of making the city a leader in the technology.

Orszag spoke at the […]
