Will your next vehicle be electric?

When in Noble Roman’s: A new spin on an old name
Given our area’s bounty of good eats, you can get almost anything you want, any night you want … except an excellent, localized everyday pizza.

We’re on a mission
Last month, we shared that construction was underway to bring fiber internet to over 2,200 homes in the Battle Ground area. Many residents in that area have expressed their elation for the service.

Something’s Bru-ing at the Burger Bar
Call it a contemporary adaptation of the Neanderthal mindset if you must, but I’m not a split-yourburger kind of guy.

East End Grill: The Right Direction for a Good Meal
It’s anyone’s guess at press time how lionlike March has been so far. But here’s hoping we’re close to a place of shirtsleeve patio dining with temperatures perfect for sitting back and savoring spring. As urban patios go, East End Grill is perched at the outermost edge of Lafayette’s downtown. Roughly three blocks separate it […]
Streamlining voice and video delivery
When we announced our fiber service last year, our products included the “triple play” of internet, voice and video. The decision to offer all three was based on your feedback that you were interested in all three services from Tipmont. More recent feedback from you combined with nationwide trends have given us reason to switch […]

EnviroWatts-funded rain barrels making an impact
Thanks to a generous grant from Tipmont’s EnviroWatts program, Wabash River Enhancement Corporation (WREC) and its partners have distributed over 140 rain barrels throughout the Greater Lafayette community.
