This Indiana Attraction Combines State History, Giant-Screen Films, and a Walk Along the Canal

A mastodon named Fred lives downtown, and he shares a building with a six-story movie screen. That alone should earn a road trip. I like when a museum refuses to pick just one personality. Outside, the walls are made from Indiana limestone, sandstone, brick, and steel. A huge brick cylinder...

William Shatner Brings Wrath of Khan and Laughs to Indianapolis’ Historic Murat Theatre

On a crisp late-October evening, the ornate Murat Theatre at Old National Centre filled with Trekkies, casual fans, and the simply curious for a night with William Shatner. The venue itself set a fitting stage: completed in 1910 and designed by Oscar D. Bohlen for the Murat Shriners, it is the oldest surviving stage house in downtown Indianapolis. Its striped brickwork, minarets, and Middle Eastern-inspired details have hosted everything from early Broadway road shows and a 1932 Winston Churchill address to countless concerts and musicals. Restored and still glowing under Live Nation’s care, the room felt both grand and intimate—an ideal place to revisit one of cinema’s great sci-fi classics.

Indianapolis film incorporates archery into inspiring story

The first time Vasudha Krishnamoorthy shot a bow and arrow, she hit a bullseye. It was on a trip to Strawtown Koteewi Park north of Noblesville, and she’s never forgotten the thrill. She’s also never replicated the feat. “(A bullseye) never happened after that time,” Krishnamoorthy said, laughing....

If you ask Dale Wyatt his secret to long life, he’ll smile broadly and say, “Good whiskey and lots of women,” but he admits that his daily bicycle rides probably contributed, as well. Wyatt, a World War II veteran, celebrated his 100th birthday earlier this year. With...

A former 1968 gas station now holds more than 65 antique dealers, a fine art gallery, and a black cat named Nosey who acts like the boss. I’m already curious about a place where the resident cat might have more authority than the owners. The red-roofed building stretches long...

In many ways, Oct. 24 was a typical fall evening on Main Street in Zionsville. Leaves tumbled from the trees to the brick street as families ate dinner outside and wandered into the shops along the main drag. There were, however, a few differences. For example, flautist Kevin McLaren and...

A quote on a mirror in Caitlin Clark’s childhood home inspires her new children's book

Fever Clark Children's Book Basketball Random House Children's Books Caitlin Clark has been an avid reader since she was a kid, thanks in huge part to her mother. Now the Indiana Fever star can add writer to her ever-growing resume with a new children's book, “EXTRAordinary! A Little EXTRA to Reach BIG Dreams," that comes out Tuesday. “I grew up loving to read books,” Clark said in a phone interview with The Associated Press. “My mom was an English major in college. She's a bookworm, she reads a lot of books, so she helped me a little bit with this.” It's a picture book published by Random House Books for Young Readers that's written in rhyming verse. Clark first thought about not having it rhyme, but she said it just worked better that way. “Everything that you see, I always have a part in,” Clark said of her involvement with the book. “I want people to know I put a lot of time and effort into that.” The book was inspired by a quote that's on a mirror in her childhood home: "The difference between ordinary and extraordinary is the little EXTRA.” The mirror is still in her parents' house.

Indiana’s Jefferson County Home

Each of Indiana’s ninety-two counties was home to at least one infirmary or poorhouse in the sometimes distant past. The facilities ran the gamut from stone structures built in the 1840s to Art Deco buildings put up a century later. A few were even newer, and one of the most recently-built ex-infirmaries I’ve seen sits in Jefferson County between Madison and Dupont.
