The Mousetrap Open letter to Mayor Ballard regarding a potential smoking ban

Dear Mayor Ballard, My name is Michael Quarto. I’m a Cathedral graduate and the proud owner of The Mousetrap. As I’m sure you know, we are one of Indianapolis’ older establishments, having opened in 1957. I bought the place in 2002 and have revamped it quite a bit. I hope you’ll stop by for a bowl of our famous Hot Stew sometime. The reason for my letter is our absolute need for a smoking ban. If you were in The Mousetrap on a weekend night, you might think I was crazy to want this, as 70-80% of… Continue

jebbanner Quick Review- Brothers Restaurant in Broad Ripple

Like many Broad Ripplians (is that a word?) I was anxiously awaiting the opening of Brothers here in Broad Ripple at the corner of Broad Ripple Avenue and Guilford where the trophy shop used to be. So on the very first or maybe second day it was open I had lunch there with a client. The space is really nice and you can appreciate the bar is meant for packed weekend nights with it's wide open space layout. When we walked in the waitress directed us to a table with bar stools. I thought this was… Continue

jebbanner In Defense of Broad Ripple

I was replying to a post on Musical Family Tree about Broad Ripple and realized I should post this here as a blog post. I find BR is still very vibrant although I wasn't raised here and only knew it a little in the early 90s. To me it's a real community. I can hardly walk a block without seeing someone I know. It reminds me of how Bloomington was in the mid-90s (for me at least).… Continue

jebbanner Broad Ripple Fest Wrap Up with Pictures

Just wanted to do a quick post about the Fest. First off, I want to send out a big "thanks!" to all the promoters, venues, nonprofits and artists that took part in the Fest. In my opinion it was a big success. The kick off party at the Vogue went well. I was hoping for a little better turn out but we didn't lose money, or really make any, but the vibe was good and the bands sounded great. Saturday night went really well, at least at the venues I attended. Since I had booked Spin I spent most o… Continue

nora looking for musicians and enthusiastic folks for the first ever Indianapolis Monumental Marathon this Saturday.

Now that the smoke has cleared from another successful Broad Ripple Music Fest I'm looking for help getting entertainment along the marathon route. Click for route and times the runners will be passing by. The proceeds from the marathon benefit IPS programs. The weather looks good- much warmer than last weekend. I'd love bands, kids banging on pots and pans or you in your bathrobe drinking coffee and cheering along the runners… Continue
