Speedway Women in Business—Making History in this Racing Town ​

​
Lane Warner of Studio 1432 and Lane Lewis Photography on Main Street in Speedway had an idea spark in her mind to showcase these entrepreneurial women.

She wanted to give them an opportunity to connect, network, and share their stories with each other.  Read More. . .

GARDENING TIPS

Tater Planting Time

by Rosie Lerner
Yard and Garden News — Purdue Consumer Horticulture

Although some dedicated gardeners may have already planted their seed potatoes, for most of us, the ground has been a little too soggy. Some gardeners aim for planting on or around St. Patrick’s Day, while others of us will be lucky to have them planted by Mother’s Day!

Potatoes are considered to be cool-season plants and can be planted just as soon as the ground has thawed and dried enough to safely work the soil. However, it is critical to allow the soil to dry adequately. If worked while still too wet, soil forms compacted, hard clumps, leading to misshapen tubers later in the season.   More. . .

NEW Dinosphere at The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis

Visit Children's Museum

Imagine life 150 million years ago. The Earth shook with each footstep by massive dinosaurs (stretching 60–80 feet, nose to tail) as they pounded the ground and searched for plants to satisfy their huge appetites. Listen for the pitter-patter of smaller creatures racing for cover as theropods scavenged the area for their next meal. Hear the splashing and gurgling of ocean waves as you discover a treasure trove of marine life, from massive monsters to miniature shellfish. With each step into the NEW Dinosphere: Now You’re in Their World® at The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis, children and families come face-to-face—and in some cases, face-to-knee—with magnificent dinosaurs and marine reptiles that once dominated the world.
