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 […]

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 […]

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. The rain barrels benefit the community in two ways. First, water collected in rain barrels can be used instead of water from a garden hose. This conserves […]
