New magazine name reflects our connection to you
Regular readers of Electric Consumer may be perplexed by a few things: Why haven’t you gotten your Electric Consumer this month? Why is Tipmont writing articles in a new magazine you got in the mail? Is Tipmont so popular that they are now being syndicated? As far as the syndication rumor goes — it’s unfortunately […]
The Bryant: A Little bit of this, a little bit of that
“Modern industrial” is the term used to describe the style of the Bryant — the Christodoulakis family’s fifth (and newest) restaurant, after Christos New City Grill, Red Seven and Café Literato. There are exposed pipes, subway tiles and textured walls, but also curved banquettes, barn-wood walls and plaidshirted servers. Then there’s a giant three-dimensional mosaic […]
Town & Gown Bistro: Solid Meals for Any Style!
The building at 119 N. River Road in West Lafayette has always been a bit of an odd duck. Getting in or out is tricky. The first floor is tiny. Parking is … a gamble. (More on that later.) Several businesses have come and gone. But in its third year of tenure, Town & Gown […]
Pure Eatery: A new spot in Downtown Lafayette
There are few rules for this monthly space, and even then, they’re mostly self-imposed. But there’s one simple one: no major chains/franchised activities. That’s less an effort to disparage the big guys than it is to distribute space to the local folks. On its face, Pure Eatery might seem in violation — although I contend […]
Sixth Street Dive: What’s in a Name?
When a place tags “dive” directly on its name, it’s OK to wonder what kind of establishment it is exactly. But dive bars are, generally speaking, much like today’s Times Square — safer than the reputations that may have preceded them in decades past. That’s not to say self-identified dive bars have cleaned up their […]
Mama Ines: Big-Time Bakery, Small-Change Prices
You can tell me the entryway floor mat at Mama Ines Mexican Bakery’s flagship Lafayette location is just a place to shake off snow. What I believe: It’s a pillow to cushion your jaw dropping upon the sight you behold. A supersized sugar shack with station after station of delectable selections, Mama Ines’s Sagamore Parkway […]
Former Tipmont Youth Tour student makes her mark in Washington D.C.
Kaidyle Neukam has always been a go-getter. She knew there was a whole world out there to explore, she just needed a little help opening the door. Halfway through her junior year at North Montgomery High School, she heard about Indiana Youth Tour – a week-long, all expenses paid trip to Washington D.C. What she […]

I hope all of you have enjoyed reading this column as much as I have writing it – and that it has helped you discover exciting, entertaining experiences to savor and share.

Lafayette Symphony Orchestra: A Crescendo of Community Partnerships
For its 2016-17 season, the Lafayette Symphony Orchestra is embracing a foundational theme that helped start the orchestra in 1950 — placing a spotlight on a wide spectrum of community talent. “We love having guest artists visit to dazzle our audiences, but this year we wanted to look at the amazing talent we have available […]
