5 Best Restaurants in Bloomington, Indiana You Need to Try Before Everyone Else Finds Them

Bloomington, Indiana — a city where limestone buildings glow in the morning sun, where the laughter of students mingles with the wisdom of old-timers, and where the air is perfumed with the promise of something soulful simmering on every block. Here, the architecture is a patchwork: stately university halls, indie record shops, and the gentle sprawl of neighborhoods stitched together by memory, migration, and the restless hum of possibility.

But for $3 you can see his original vampire film, “Constance and Violence Part II" on Nov. 11 at the historic Tivoli Theatre in Spencer. (The younger Bates did hair and makeup for “Constance and Violence” Part I.) As a little boy, Bates Sr. informed his mother that he would be a rock star.
