@JoshLipnik I enjoy “Ohio River from Hanover College” in my office. I believe Wheeler was a student of William Forsyth but is considered the generation after the Hoosier Group

Sir….the Japanese World Cup tourists discovered Texas Roadhouse and are calling it the "best cost-performance steak"

[Elsa @elsathora]

This is so surreal, just had the best food ever

Indiana is exactly how I dreamed America would be

Small towns, wide open spaces, cornfields, barns, cute houses, diners, water towers, friendly people, great food, American flags everywhere, and so much more!

Time for the next part of this adventure

Thank you Indiana!

95 years ago (May 15 1931) the University of Iowa golf team boycotted the Big 10 championships in Ann Arbor Michigan. It was in protest because the prior weekend at a dual meet at a Chicago country club vs Big Ten opponents Northwestern and U of Chicago, Hawkeye golfer George Roddy was prevented from playing because he was black.

Roddy was a senior from Keokuk, a 3 year letterman, Iowa's #1 player for 2 years, and team captain. For decades he held the course record at UI's Finkbine. The previous year, in 1930, he was barred from playing in the Big Ten championships at Westmoreland Country Club in Wilmette IL. After it happened in for a second year in a row, Hawkeye golf coach Charles Kennett announced he would withdraw his entire team over the treatment of his captain.

After graduating with an engineering degree, George Roddy was golf coach at HBCU North Carolina A&T until 1948. He moved to Indianapolis and created the golf program at Crispus Attucks High School. He was twice city golf champion of Indianapolis, 1963 and 1967, when he was well into his 50s.

Hats off to a great Hawkeye!

And so it begins. This morning, waiting to be unpacked, crates containing panels of Louis Comfort Tiffany's 1893, 12,000 piece Jeweled Window, returning to Second Presbyterian Church after meticulous restoration by Venturella Studio of Troy, New York.

@dr_huffer My grandparents took their kids to see a re-released Disney movie once each year, and that was the day they got to go to Burger Chef— the one restaurant visit of the year.

@dr_huffer A coach for your health, perhaps.

[John Allread @jallread]

@LynnBecker I don’t disagree. I’m just saying it isn’t an inexplicable decision by the developers. “What if MF doesn’t exist?” wasn’t a real consideration at the time.

[John Allread @jallread]

@LynnBecker But it wasn’t— the anchor department stores had the street entrances. That was as much a part of the mall as the inline stores on the upper levels or Foodlife.

@EsotericCD Beef or turkey manhattans are so good. Not elite, but so good.

"Infinite Jest has fallen victim to an absurd and very modern phenomenon in which the obvious artistic greatness of the work itself plays second fiddle to the negative social implications of being a member of its fandom"
