Born 131 Years Ago Today in Indiana, the Father of the Grand Ole Opry Who Helped Lead Country Music Into the Mainstream

On this day (November 9) in 1895, George Dewey Hay was born in Attica, Indiana. While Hay never sang a note or played an instrument, he is largely responsible for the booming industry that is country music today. Every time you see your favorite country performer sing under the dazzling lights of the Grand Ole Opry or tune into a Saturday night broadcast, you have Hay to thank. After beginning his career in print journalism before shifting to radio, the businessman launched what would morph into one of country music’s most cherished institutions on November 28, 1925.

Retro Indy: Two decades after stadium crumbled, another Hoosier Dome bites the dust

Two decades ago, the words Hoosier Dome conjured up images of the landmark stadium that served as one of Indianapolis' largest and most important sporting and entertainment venues, which was demolished in 2008. These days, the name represents almost the opposite: A hole-in-the-wall concert space that can't fit a 200th of the 60,000 fans that its namesake once housed. And in a few more years, the name might bring to mind something entirely different from the arena or the niche club. The current Hoosier Dome at 1627 Prospect St., which slotted itself into Indianapolis' independent music scene in 2010, will be a bygone institution by 2027. The Hoosier Dome announced Sept. 29 that it will shut its doors by the end of the year . Management attributed the decision to close to new owner RCA Properties, a local developer with a portfolio of mostly residential projects. According to a social media post from the venue, RCA's redevelopment plans for the building don’t include the club. The company did not respond to questions from IndyStar regarding these plans. The purchase means that almost 20 years after the bigger and better Lucas Oil Stadium arose from the rubble of the original Hoosier

Cicada Cinema to open movie theater on Bloomington's near west side

This story has been updated because an earlier version included an inaccuracy. After 10 years of showing and promoting movies throughout the Bloomington area, Cicada Cinema will soon have its own theater space for films on Bloomington's near west side. Since May 1, dozens of people have helped in transforming the space at 615 N. Fairview St., Suite 1, so the volunteer-run nonprofit can open its own theater. Previously Cicada Cinema has screened films at the Orbit Room, the Back Door, Hopscotch Coffee, the FAR Center for Contemporary Arts and many other venues including city parks. Josh Brewer, manager, anticipates offering longer runs of new movies. The project "got bigger and better," he said after he purchased almost 70 theater seats from Wolf Cinema multi-plex in Greensburg, which closed. "They just couldn't run a multi-plex in a small town," Brewer explained. After buying the seats, Brewer and others had to detach the seats bolted to the floor inside the old cinema, getting dirty in the process from both the grimy floor and the seats. After transporting them to Bloomington, it took 9 1/2 hours for a team of about 20 volunteers to clean them in the parking lot outside the
