Looking for some culture on the banks of the Wabash? Who isn’t? Next time you’re in Terre Haute, stop on by the Swope Art Museum for a sampling of sophistication.

Howl at the Moon: Come Sing Along

by espicklemire December 16, 2010

I turned 21 this past April, so I’ve had a few months to check out the Indianapolis bar scene. One of my favorites has to be the downtown bar Howl at the Moon.

Bazbeaux Pizza: A Slice of Perfection

by espicklemire December 16, 2010

Every college student loves pizza, and I’m no exception. It’s readily available, usually cheap and nearly always delicious. But occasionally I like to take a break from the standard national chain fare and give my tastebuds a treat. Those days are when I venture to Bazbeaux. Located in the heart of Broad Ripple, Bazbeaux (pronounced [...]

My Little What? Broad Ripple Café Gives “Petite Chou” New Meaning

by espicklemire November 27, 2010

Depending on whether or not you scraped through high school French like I did, the phrase “petite chou” may or may not mean something to you.

by espicklemire October 26, 2010

Growing up on the banks of the Wabash River, I visited the Terre Haute Children’s Museum hundreds of times as a child.

Small Portions, Big Taste at BARcelona Tapas

by espicklemire October 19, 2010

Have you ever been to Spain? Me neither. But after last week, I’ve decided that if the closest I get to the country is a visit to Indy’s BARcelona Tapas, that’ll be alright by me. My trip to the restaurant was prompted by one of my student organizations. We brought a speaker to campus and [...]

Notre Dame: A Must for Football Fans (Or Non-Fans)

by espicklemire October 6, 2010

Let me preface this by saying that I am by no means a football fan. At the age of 21 I’m still pretty unclear on the rules of the game and I am definitely one of those people that only watches the Super Bowl for the commercials (what can I say, I’m an advertising major). [...]
