SPORTS: Lucas Oil Stadium hosted basketball beautifully-WEB ONLY
Of this, that and the other as we transition from March Madness to, uh, what? April Anxiety? Perhaps with the tax-filing date approaching, that would be true. Anyway, congratulations to Stadium Director Mike Fox, assistant Andy Arnold and the amazing crew at Lucas Oil Stadium for transforming the venue into an intimate, 40,000-seat basketball venue […]
Game for business-WEB ONLY
The late winter sun has yet to rise, but brothers Charlie and Mark Masheck already are hard at work inside a sprawling cabin along Matthews Road outside Greenwood, setting up for the day. A painted sign out front reads Hoosier Trapper Supply Inc., but the rustic shop also houses the brothers’ other endeavor: Leatherwood Wildlife […]
Recession Menu-WEB ONLY
Restaurant diners, spooked by the recession, have never been more tight-fisted. Restaurateurs are responding to this challenge, be they the proprietors of fine-dining establishments or burger joints, by offering low-cost dining deals. It’s an effort to preserve their customer base and, just perhaps, poach a few hungry mouths from their competitors. But according to some […]
Battling a bagel backup-WEB ONLY
Thousands of Bagel-fuls roll off Harlan Bakeries LLC’s production lines these days as the Avon company races to keep up with demand for the cream-cheese-filled bagels.

EDITORIAL: Gambling habit puts state at risk-WEB ONLY
These must be bittersweet times for those who warned Indiana against rolling the dice on gambling back in the late 1980s. On one hand, they have the satisfaction of seeing their predictions come true. But confirmation of their fears about gambling comes at the state’s expense. As IBJ reported last week, now that gambling taxes […]
A&E: Come (back) to the Cabaret-WEB ONLY
This week, the reborn American Cabaret Theatre and a symphonic circus draw packed houses. I haven’t heard anyone else say it in print, so let me put it right out there: American Cabaret Theatre was often an embarrassment. That isn’t to say the long-standing Indy theater company didn’t feature some outstanding singers. It’s just that, […]
EYE ON THE PIE: Commuting shifts $87 billion in Indiana-WEB ONLY
My excitement must have been evident to everyone on the street. I was being pulled in a rickshaw though the Indianapolis streets that Mayor Ballard had designated as the local Chinatown. There was a bicyclist providing the muscle power. He was about my age, an older fellow who needed the job, probably to supplement his […]
Foreclosure investors shift tactics-WEB ONLY
At first glance, the smart way to profit from the real estate downturn seems obvious: Buy foreclosed homes, fix them up and resell them for a profit. After all, there’s no shortage of supply. In February, Marion County alone had 1,640 new foreclosure filings. There’s just one hitch. The strategy that fueled such TV programs […]

Job mix blunts slump-WEB ONLY
In just one year, Indianapolis’ unemployment rate has risen from 4.5 percent to 8.2 percent. But don’t expect local economic development officials to complain too much. Not when 74 of Indiana’s 92 counties have higher unemployment rates than Marion County’s. “When I took this job 15 months ago and the Dow [Jones industrial average] was […]
