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 picked up this multi-page flyer at Golden Wok restaurant on E 96th. It's just a business-card…read moredirectory with a few display ads. It contains only local Chinese-owned businesses, and local businesses with a Chinese-speaking representative. All local. The quality of the flyer isn't professional (some grainy ads, some typos, etc.) but it's a start. If you type the web site address into Google, www.yamei-today.com, Google will give you a link to "Translate This Page" and you can read their web site in English. The web site has an interesting article on the new Viet Hua supermarket in Castleton. The email of the contact person is aatodayin [at] gmail. com. There is no physical address given for the publisher, so I used the WHOIS information for the domain name's registrant.

Today while watching the news as I was getting ready for work. The anchor said click on the QR code…read morefor information regarding your voter registry and when you can vote etc. I scanned the QR code and low and behold there was absolutely nothing regarding anything to do with voting anywhere on the site.i typed it in the search bar and still nothing. So besides the fact that they fired a black woman for asking questions, replaced her with a white man, now they lie about what information they claim to have on the website.

I'm disappointed to share my experience with Ashley Brown from Wish-TV. Recently she attempted to…read moreexploit her influence to secure free services for her mother at my business. ( Her mother got a car 3 months ago and now it needs regular maintenance). when I politely declined , she began harrasing me personally and organized a protest in front of my establishment targeting me by name. Her behavior was unacceptable, unprofessional and damaging to my business. Despite my efforts to address the issue calmly, she continued to escalate the situation. I urge others to be cautious when dealing with Ashley Brown. Her tactics are alarming and should not be tolerated.

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.
