Since this blog was founded on those principles 2 and a half years ago, I am smitten by this. Their project to recycle the RCA Dome fabric is brilliant. …
I was lucky enough to attend last night’s urban farm tour put on by Slow Food Indy. With yesterday’s crazy weather, I was concerned that it might be rained out, but the weather cleared up just in time for the tour. In short, it was fantastic. The tour started and ended at R Bistro. They …
