I happened upon a flyer posted at Cafe Lumos in the Purdue Research Park [...]
Some of us are bittersweet enough about the GLA to wonder why someone would ever vacation here as a tourist. This fall, a family with the Indiana Insider blog did just that. On a three-day-two-night vacation, they visited Wolf Park, Bruno’s Pizza, the Farmer’s Market, McCord’s Candies, the Lafayette Brewing Co., Arni’s, Red Seven, the [...]

But that does mean that we spend a lot of Friday and Saturday nights saying, “Where do you want to eat?” “I [...]
Star City Coffee & Ale House, 222 Main St., tapped the freshly relocated Mike Reeb for a late night show on Jan. 18. The event drew more than 50, most of them in their 20s and a good chunk younger than 21.

Being a transplant from the mountains of Southern California, I have always been the subject of incredulous stares from people when they learned that not only did I move to Lafayette willingly, but that I do not plan on going back. That particular story is too long to tell here, but I would be lying if I said [...]
