Some pizza places come and go faster than a Friday night delivery. These five Indiana spots have stuck around for more than half a century, serving pies since the 1960s and early 1970s. Grandparents probably shared a booth at one of them before anyone had a cell phone. If you...

Indiana Diners Keep Visiting The State’s Last Location Of A Once-Massive Restaurant Chain

Bus drivers eat free here when they bring a group of 15 or more. That tells you plenty about the kind of crowd this buffet expects to feed. This restaurant is the last of its famous chain still standing in Indiana. At its late-1980s peak, the brand ran hundreds of locations and ranked among the largest steakhouse chains around.

From Crawfordsville to grocery stores across America

When most Americans pick up a package of sliced cheese at their local grocery store, they probably don’t give much thought to where it came from or the people and technology involved in getting it onto the shelf. But right here in west-central Indiana, hundreds of Hoosiers are helping make that possible every day.

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

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.

Meet the construction worker who makes films

“Concrete finishers” ensure that a job site’s concrete is right. Screenwriters create stories for film; filmmakers then make a film. Las Vegas native and current Gosport, Indiana, resident Roc Anthony Bates Sr. does all three and has cemented his success in a second career. (Bates added the “Sr.” to clarify that he isn’t his son, whose name is similar.) Bates Sr., who continues to work in construction, has had a career in concrete finishing. 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. The desire for work in the arts remained. “I started this (vampire) story about 10 years ago,” he said, “and let it sit. I had the whole story in my head.” He also had, by then, a nice 401K with which to finance his plan. And, his nest had recently been emptied of offspring. The single father was “learning to live without kids. I didn’t know what to buy at the grocery

This Indiana Cafe Makes Breakfast All Day, Because Nobody Should Have to Wait for Pancakes

One of the most famous features at this little cafe is a cast iron bathtub turned into a fish tank. It once landed on a Travel Channel list of top ten bathrooms. That alone would earn a visit from me. But the place also roasts its own coffee and has done so for nearly 50 years.
