    As a recipient on the South Bend Civic Theatre‘s email list, I found out about this event a week or two before and took advantage of the free ticket on a night I was kid-free. Free theatre? Plays written by teens? As a movement to end gun violence? Having the availability, I couldn’t pass it…

    This morning while eating my biscuits and gravy I noticed an individual walk in that looked familiar but couldn’t remember from where. Finally, it came to me: I found him in my mailbox on a campaign mailer. I was in the same room as Congressman Rudy Yakym from Indiana’s 2nd Congressional District. Oh, he doesn’t…

    I’ve lived in Michiana since 2013, but it wasn’t until today that I finally made it out to the Nappanee Apple Festival. The 49th annual event of this town with a population of less than 7,000 was everything I’ve heard it to be. Classic fair food trucks all over, carnival rides for the littles, vendors…

    Last weekend I took advantage of an opportunity and it helped clear some things up for me. 2025 marks the 10th anniversary of the musical Hamilton (HamtilTen, if you will), and I treated myself to the 9:40am showing where they have heated recliners in every seat.
