Buzzing Around Town

I was lucky enough to be in the attendance of the Broad Ripple Village Association when our Alan Hague won the Esprit de Corps award. BRVA past-president Elizabeth Marshall defined esprit de corps as "feelings of loyalty, enthusiasm, and devotion to a group among people who are members of the group."
In presenting the award, Elizabeth said "This year's winner certainly embodies that definition. In his job, they regularly promote activities in the Village as well as businesses both new and established both which generate feelings of loyalty and enthusiasm to this great neighborhood.
"We all love to have a great resource in our back pocket and our winner is someone who is always in the know and provides answers to many of the questions you have about what is going on around the Village.
"He is an avid history buff, preserving and celebrating the past but also helping to shape the future of our Village.
"He is a lifelong resident of the Broad Ripple area, BRHS graduate, and a staple of all things Broad Ripple.
"Please help me congratulate the Broad Ripple Village 2016 Esprit de Corps winner, Alan Hague."
Well deserved, Alan!

Commercial Article 09 Launch Party
Friday, November 4, 2016
PRINTtEXT
652 E. 52nd Street - all-ages, free, 6-9 pm
The ninth issue of the Commercial Article is will be launched with strudel and a talk by author Connie Zeigler. Why strudel? Designer Roland Hobart came to Indiana from his native Innsbruk in 1966. He quickly became a prominent figure in the 1970s central Indiana art and design communities. His towering achievement, the mural at 32 N. Delaware Street, is in danger of literally fading into obscurity.
I've really enjoyed learning more about Indianapolis designers through the Commercial Article series and I think you will also!

Not-for-profit director by day, music writer by night, Nora Spitznogle reviews music that happened and previews music and events around Broad Ripple Village. Nora managed CATH Inc coffeehouse at 54th Street and College Avenue for seven years. During that time she hosted hundreds of local and touring musicians, both at the coffeehouse and her home. When CATH closed in 2004 and the music was no longer coming to her, she had to wander from her corner of Broad Ripple to see what is happening elsewhere. You can find her at Second Helpings during the work day, waitressing at the Red Key on Saturday nights and prowling Broad Ripple music venues the rest of the time.
