Taco Rico: No frills? No problem
It’s a bit of amusing irony that two of Lafayette’s more appealing exotic restaurants are hidden in the average aesthetics of a Sagamore Parkway strip mall. Sharma’s Kitchen offers top-flight Indian and Indochinese cuisine on its buffet. Just a few doors down, there’s Taco Rico — which continues to maintain its low-key great status as […]
5G: Is it a threat to fiber?
I’ve been asked a few times how the fiber lines we’re building today will stand up to the promises of tomorrow’s wireless internet technology. While there are a lot of technological promises on the horizon, we can’t know for certain how they are all going to play out. Here are some things we do know […]
Red Seven: Still a Lucky Number
With its sleek-chic interior and lighting as low as the menu options are vast, Red Seven has long been a cornerstone culinary option in downtown Lafayette. Admitting the inherent fault of memory, I don’t recall Red Seven’s menu changing as drastically — in visual presentation or dining choices — as it had upon our most recent visit. […]
TC’s: So Much at Steak
On my third visit to TC’s Restaurant & Tavern, I asked our server: “What’s the TC’s Special sandwich?” Turns out it’s a boneless rib sandwich with jalapeños and barbecue sauce on a hoagie roll, and as she told us, using her fingers to illustrate, “It’s about this long and this tall.” This was proof to […]

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. It’s very rewarding to hear how enthusiastic they are for better internet service. However, for every excited individual, there are many more […]
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. While I certainly wouldn’t have fared well in the hunter-gatherer days of finding your own food, I can keep a firm, two-handed grip on a substantially sized, sometimes-slippery burger — often with a minimal amount […]

Tree Line USA, a partnership between the Foundation and the National Association of State Foresters, recognizes public and private utilities for pursuing practices that protect […]
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 […]
