I like to think I’m what you would call a “Foodie”. I like trying new restaurants from a hole in the wall diner to James Beard award winning cuisine. I’ve made it my mission to try new and up-and-coming places around Indianapolis, which is why I wanted to share with you a list of 15…
Curiosity kills the cat. A phrase I have always found unfortunate. I believe that curiosity kills nothing, but instead brings to life a whole new side of ourselves. Our generation’s fantastic sense of wonder is brought on by none other than that good ole fashion curiosity. Thanks to things like technology the world is more…
Hello fellow prop tarts, I’m here to recognize one of Muncie’s most notorious ghost landmarks. A long time before the big wigs of Wall St. came to Muncie and bought up the village and simultaneously modernized a perfectly good n functioning alcoholics resort, there was Dill Street Bar. Better known to BSU alumni as…
This summer Israel spent a great deal of time in the news, and not in a good way. I wanted to buck that trend and recognize Israel for something amazing it has been doing since 1999 that I was lucky enough to experience myself, just as Operation Protective Edge began.
I’m not sure if it’s the colorful women’s blouse section or the semi to heavily used furniture that makes me instantly feel at home when I step into this unique smelling store. Blacks, Whites, Asians, Americans, people of the world: This is a place that knows no judgment. Whether you are buying clothes for your next Halloween party or legitimately updating your wardrobe, I’m sure Macklemore will meet you somewhere in between with nothing but encouragement…
Smooth and brown, soft when it touches your lips. The perfect way to start your morning, and the only thing that could possibly interrupt anything you’ve been working on. “What would you do without it?”, they ask. “Why do you love it so much?”. Well, Starbucks, I don’t know. And that is why I give you props. You keep us coming back for more as if we’re fiending for our greatest addiction. Of course we can spend $.50 at our local gas station, but guess what, it’s the secret recipe that has our brains overlooking the overpriced beverage. You’ve succeeded… Congrats.
Today I want to give props to a time honored Purdue tradition. I’m giving my props to Breakfast Club. Many of you are probably thinking of the 80’s detention circle at this point, and while I don’t hate it and I give props to that too, I’m talking about Purdue’s tradition of dressing up in…
When I was approached by this blog inviting me to give props I had to think long and hard about it. What one thing has just been killing it? Is there one idea that deserves recognition for shining through it all? Well, since college graduation 2 years ago I’ve worked in Chicago and Dallas, and now I’m living back in full-time Indianapolis for the first time since high school. So after that whirlwind, what one thing encompasses it all? What one place is always there with open arms, offering family, friends and abundance of things to do? Its simple: Indianapolis. The Circle City. The Spaghetti Bowl. Naptown. Call it what you want, but this charming, family-oriented, sports obsessed, crossroads of a city is killing it right now.
Props: The Geist Community A few weeks ago, my comrades gave recognition to the East Side of Indianapolis. They wrote about how much their community means to them, and how much they appreciate all that the East Side has given them. Luckily, I could completely relate to their blog post because I myself grew up…
The great philosopher Henry David Thoreau Quotes once said, “This world is but a blank canvas to our imagination.” After my stay at the hotel and art gallery, The Alexander, in Indianapolis, I believe that to be true. Although it was over a year ago, it was definitely a night I won’t forget. My boyfriend…
