Nuvo is a great alternative news source. They are a constant thorn in the side of the status quo…read more They are a business though, so I always wonder where their motivation lies. Whether you want a restaurant to eat at or a massage with a happy ending, Nuvo will help you find it. They are the best source for the local night life scene. I've been a reader for over 15 years and I appreciate their "critical thinker" view on topics instead of the usual crap from the Indianapolis Star. Jennifer says there is free candy in the lobby, so I'm gonna have to stop by!

I am baffled how our fellow Yelp Elite Nicole S. has never thought to review Indy's beloved "Indy's…read moreChild" magazine, a 37-year-old parenting resource that has won awards locally and nationally that reaches over 75,000 readers and is available at over 500 locations. You've seen it. I know you've seen it. Heck, I don't even have kids and I read it because it's filled to the brim with great things to do, parenting resources, holiday fun, camps, education resources, and it even offers special needs directories nicely suited for parents of children with disabilities. It is impossible for you to not love this magazine. Plus, you can frequently find the writing of Yelp Elite Nicole S. in the magazine and it usually has something to do with one of her adventures with her family. The magazine itself is free. Mary Cox is the publisher and Nicole S. is editor (So, yes. She really is reading your Yelp reviews and cringing at the typos. I jest. I jest. She's not doing that. That's me. That's really me. However, she really is the editor!). I love the magazine because it helps me discover Indy. I find new places to go, fun attractions, and more than a few hidden gems. It's common for reviews to mention disability and this helps me plan whether it's a spot for me or not. Indy's Child started in Indy in 1984 - the year after I graduated high school. So, it's really a magazine I've grown up with and I can't imagine Indy without it. It's fun to read, informative, educational, and is part of what makes Indy, well, Indy. If you've never picked up a copy, I recommend it. This is especially true if you're a parent. You can also find Indy's child actively on social media and I've been using it like crazy as I try to immerse myself more in the holiday season this year. Verifiably one of the first locally and family-owned parenting magazines in Indiana, Indy's Child is also one of the only publications to be distributed to a majority of schools, libraries, child care agencies and other family-oriented facilities. Have I sold it enough? Seriously, leave your house right now and go get a copy. I mean, okay, I'm writing this at 6am and it's still dark outside here in Indy. So, well, maybe wait until it gets light. But, seriously, wake up. There's a lot to do and Indy's Child has it all.

I bought their book "Old Fashioned Bread Recipes" from "A Taste of Indiana."…read more Their web site is down, but they have their own store on Ebay, and their books are also on Amazon. (I haven't been to their office, nor called.) This book has 56 bread recipes in it, on 28 pages. (Plus covers, title page, index, and advertising.) It has yeast breads, baking soda breads (quick breads) and old-fashioned breadstuffs. Has recipes for: Yeast breads: molasses whole wheat, gingery whole wheat, moist oatmeal, Sally Lunn yeast, Vermont maple syrup, cardomom, black, dutch oven, anadama, pumpkin yeast, golden raisin with frosting, cottage dill, apple yeast, bubble, shaker herb, country egg, muffin, round-loaf rye, potato.

I haven't done any googlling for these specific recipes, so I can't say that these exact ones are free online. But if you're looking for a gift for someone who collects cookbooks on dead trees, these seem like good gifts. The one I bought was $4.00 at A Taste of Indiana.

WBDG is known as "Giant 90.9 FM" and is powered by the students of Ben Davis High School in…read moreIndianapolis along with Area 31 Career Center. It's fully licensed by the Federal Communications Commission and broadcasts in HD 24/7, 365 days a year. WBDG first took the air in 1966. It's actually a rather remarkable radio station that I still listen to long after I graduated from high school. And college. And, well, you get the point. I'm old. I love WBDG. WBDG plays a wide variety of music, offers diverse programming, and broadcasts Ben Davis sports, news, and features largely targeting Indy's Westside and Eastern Hendricks County. WBDG has hosted "School Talk With Emerson" since 2003. It's hosted by Emerson Allen, an Indy resident who has a long existing reputation for building up Indy's youth. I've had the privilege of being a guest on "School Talk" and to this day maintain a positive relationship with Emerson and everyone at WBDG. I've long been impressed with the high quality broadcasting and professionalism of WBDG's staff. I remember one incident, in particular, that greatly impressed me with how it was addressed as a teachable moment for broadcasting - a student was broadcasting the news and got distracted by someone in the studio and started laughing. Unfortunately, the story he was reporting at the time was actually quite tragic. It bothered me - so, I dropped them an e-mail and expressed my concern (politely, of course...these are students who are still learning!). It was handled beautifully. I'd love to know if that student is still in broadcasting. Sportscaster Zion Brown is one of my current favorites. Zion can seriously broadcast. I look forward to watching him grow. In 2019, Grant Covey picked up two national awards and was nominated for a third. The radio station has a long history of state, regional, and national recognition and watching its student broadcasters grow into career professionals. You can get podcasts, interviews, etc. on Audio Boom including Emerson's show, sports, interviews, and other podcast content. WBDG also has an HD2 station that broadcasts 70s, 80s, and 90s music. WBDG was one of the first radio stations in Marion County owned by a school district. It started out as a 10 watt station (trust me, that's small) and has grown into a 400 watt station (that's much better!). During the 80s (my high school days!), WBDG could even be found making a dent in the ratings because it was the only local station that played disco. Man, I miss disco. I've been in the studio and it's quite impressive - and surprisingly accessible. I was able to work my way in there for an interview just fine. Famous alumni include some names familiar to Indy folks including Kristi Lee (she just introduced me at an awards ceremony not long ago - what a great human!), Dave Calabro, Kevin Calabro, Kevin Gregory, Scott Hoke, Liz Dixon, Dana Webb (a former CMA DJ of the Year!), DJ Marcus, Paul Mendenhall, and quite a few others. Seriously. If you've never listened, I highly recommend it. I love supporting up-and-coming broadcasters and broadcast professionals. They're well informed, talented, passionate, and a lot of fun. WBDG has been and remains a positive voice in Indianapolis radio and it's exciting to see Wayne Township and Ben Davis's long history of devotion to the program.
