Soon-to-be former Pacer Paul George doesn’t want to play close to home. He wants to play close to famous people. He wants to build his personal brand.

Star Trek and Willy Wonka share space in The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis’s newest permanent exhibit, American POP. The past-and-present pop culture showcase features accessories from big-name celebrities like Lady Gaga and Michael Jackson alongside the Cabbage Patch Kids dolls and iPods of everyday Americans. Nineties kids can reminisce about killing—sorry, nurturing—their Tamagotchis, superhero fans […]

Let’s clear the air, I thought I was going to scream like a kid on his first big roller coaster ride when we hit the first turn. I’m as prone to suffering from a lead foot as the next person, but topping 150 miles per hour on the straightaway between turns one and four at IMS is […]

During the non-summer months, getting kids fed/groomed/dressed and to school on time each morning is a dreadful, exhausting process layered in stress and rage and chaos. Nothing comes easily at 6:45 on a cold, dark Tuesday morning in December—and nothing is where it should be. Backpacks, lunch bags, shoes, the kids themselves. Nothing runs smoothly. […]

Now in its fourth year, the Brickyard Vintage Racing Invitational supplies a behind-the-scenes, face-against-the-fence view of racing.

IndyVolved is a lot like speed dating. You present yourself and your interests, and you may even stumble over your words a bit. The person across the table does the same. The whole time you’re thinking: Is this a good fit? Drinks are sipped (local craft beer and wine are available), and liquid courage can […]

Joe Young, Tamika Catchings, and Natalie Achonwa helped lead students of Thomas D. Gregg Elementary School in a pledge. “I pledge to be a guardian of the garden,” they said in unison. “I pledge to water the garden, to weed the garden, to water the garden, and to taste the food that comes from the […]

“I’m pretty choosy,” says one hunter, “and she’s the only one I take them to.”

Gregory Henson, a single father and former drug dealer looking to turn his life around, slouches in a waiting room chair, hoping his baby will be okay.
It’s 3:28 a.m.
The last thing on his mind?
His Algebra I final in five-and-a-half hours.

  You’ve binge watched Making a Murderer six times. You constantly have the CSI theme song playing in your head. You’ve consumed every single podcast even remotely related to true crime. What next? CrimeCon 2017, obviously. Indy’s latest quirky convention kicked off today, June 9, and is set to fulfill the hopes and dreams of […]

Indianapolis Motor Speedway President Doug Boles says there are two questions he usually gets asked after the Indianapolis 500. “What do you do in the offseason?” And, “Hey, do you get to take time off since the 500 has been over?” The answer to the second will give a pretty clear indication of the answer […]

If you don’t clean up Fido’s poop, you deserve to get bopped on the nose with a rolled-up newspaper.

… Like new digs this year, with a move from the American Legion Mall to the larger (and shadier!) Military Park. Four headlining acts instead of the usual one. A reversed route for the Cadillac Barbie Pride Parade. And a new $5 admission fee (more on that later). Relatively new Indy Pride, Inc., president Jason H. Nolen-Doerr briefed IM on the changes to this year’s fest, his Lady Gaga aspirations for Pride, fishing revelers out of fountains, and how Pride is like The Nightmare Before Christmas (in the best way possible).

Greg Garrison—the perennially cowboy-boot clad, horseback-riding, garrulous 93.1 WIBC host—is getting ready to ride off into the sunset. In April, the well-connected attorney with Garrison Law Firm and 20-year veteran of Indy’s airwaves announced his retirement, telling listeners his last show would be on June 9. Garrison was handpicked by Mike Pence in 2000 to […]

If you’ve ever been curious about the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra’s Fifth Third Bank Lunch Break Series, here’s all you need to know. = Really, bring lunch. The music drowns out the sound of 1,600 people chewing. Think about your wrapper choices, though. A bag of chips makes a lot of noise. Bring a drink, too—one with […]
