October 17, 2012 Evansville's smoking ban in bars and restaurants, coupled with casino Aztar's exemption from the ban is an ongoing controversy. It seems that smoking bans are extending further and further and could be extending to your homes, thanks to a new ban in California that prohibits smoking in condominiums, duplexes, apartments and other multi-family homes.
October 17, 2012 I drive home everyday through downtown Evansville, and if it's not for a walk or event changing my route, it's more construction on Riverside Drive slowing things down. Lately there's been some lane closures on Riverside near the Pagoda, and yesterday, I saw this sign doing...um...this.
October 16, 2012 The smell and the complaints about the smell have been around for a long time in Downtown Evansville, but lately it seems like it's getting worse. I know we have the treatment facility on Waterworks Road, but something just doesn't pass the smell test... pun intended.
October 16, 2012 Indiana excise officials are cracking down on underage drinking on campuses all across the state, and that has some students ticked off because they say the newfound strictness is taking the fun out of tailgating prior to football games
October 15, 2012 It is with a heavy heart that we report our friend, colleague and Owensboro icon Joe Lowe passed away this morning from an aggressive form of esophageal cancer. Joe was best known for his distinct voice as the host of the Joe Lowe Morning Show on 1490 WOMI - it was truly the heartbeat of Owensboro.

October 12, 2012 Indiana is getting a new license plate this year.
Earlier this week at a press conference in Indianapolis, state officials unveiled the new license plate designed to commemorate the state’s approaching bicentennial, which will take place in 2016.
Two teams out to prove they're the best of the west (side) meet under the lights this Friday night at the Reitz Bowl.
October 11, 2012 Toyota Manufacturing announced earlier today a new program for Indiana students called the Advance Manufacturing Technician program.
The program will allow students to attend classes at Vincennes University (without acquiring any college debt) and at the same time, work for TMMI for a starting wage of $17 per hour with raises based on their academic success.
October 10, 2012 Here we go again: another Roberts Stadium issue. This time, the Evansville City Council has denied Mayor Winnecke's request to transfer proceeds from the Roberts Stadium auction to the demolition fund thus, delaying the demolition yet again. The time has come to resolve this issue one way or the other and leave partisan politics out of this.
October 9, 2012 We have some great marching bands here in the Tri-State area. If you ever travel on Barker around Howell Park on the West Side this time of year, for example, you will see the Reitz marching band hard at work during practice. These bands don't get anywhere near the credit they deserve for the work they put into what they do. The school marching band performance is a staple at high school and college football games especially at halftime.
