How I Met Jade at the Stacked Pickle
Sometimes I get asked how I know the other hosts on IN the Loop TV Show and what they are really like in real life. The last one always makes me laugh, but the first question makes me reflect. Some of the crew, like our Producers and Kaylyn, I have known for years and have worked together […]

The Alley Cat Lounge Front Room. … A great place to hang out in Broad Ripple.
Good dive bars are invaluable. Sticky, grimy and dark, they are incomparably disarming. Whether you’ve been frequenting the same one since before you were legally allowed to be there, or if it’s your first time in a new haunt, you will instantly feel at home in a dive bar. There’s just something comforting about an […]

Mint Juleps, floppy hats, friends and just the right size patio. …
The expansion of Broad Ripple’s iconic Alley Cat Lounge took months of planning, building and patrons of the original Cat by surprise, but The Alley Cat Front Room opened with the flair that only Lori and Russ could pull off. The Loopers lounged on the patio all afternoon drinking derby-favorite mint juleps, moscow mules, vodka […]

Tibbs Drive-In: Building memories since 1967! (For Indy, not me!)
I spent the week telling my boys that they were going to Tibbs Drive-In, an experience that I had as a kid and one that I anticipated sharing with my two boys. I spun stories of how we used to pack up my mom’s station wagon with chairs, blankets and pillows so that we could […]

They are all lining up at B2 Country Saloon!
Live country and Southern rock help get the party started at the B2 Country Saloon. One of Indiana’s best country bars with great food, dancing, music and drinks! I had the chance to turn into a real cowgirl for the night and this place really knew how to treat a girl. Get in line and get ready […]

Spring into Midwest Fashion Week
Midwest Fashion Week (MWF) holds a special place in my heart. It was the first event I ever covered in my entertainment television career. In Fall of 2014 I was asked to host MFW’s runway show – not too shabby for a guy who once wore black pants with brown shoes, and had a Hawaiian shirt craze […]

Food Meets Fashion premiered during the spring season’s Midwest Fashion Week and I was lucky enough to be a part of this event. The […]
