News Notes

Announced

On Thursday, May 21, the Indianapolis Motor Speedway will induct two new members into its Hall of Fame: Scott Dixon and Giampaolo Dallara. Want to help celebrate? Get tickets to the dinner + ceremony.

Mansion Monday

You know what would make it easier to cheer on IU next football season? Living in Bloomington — preferably in this 3,800-sqft custom Amish-built ranch. Just wait until you see the balconies.

Holiday

Tomorrow, Feb. 17, is Mardi Gras, the annual pre-Lent celebration taking over streets across the world. If you aren’t joining the 1.4 million expected visitors at the country’s biggest celebration in New Orleans, you can enjoy some Cajun cuisine + live music in Indy instead.

Travel

Planning an escape to Greece? You’re in good company — it’s the top-searched international destination for spring breakers in Indiana. If you’re flying out of IND, here’s what to know before you head to the terminal.

Learn

Garden design, color theory, calligraphy, portrait photography, embroidery. These are just a handful of the expert-led, creative classes available on Skillshare, an online learning community recognized by The New York Times and Forbes. Start a one month free trial + dive into new skills.*

Number

$0. That’s how much 94% of Nourish patients pay out of pocket to talk to a dietitian covered by their insurance. You could be covered, too — check your coverage + get matched with a dietitian who can cut through the food noise and build you a plan to thrive.*

Job

POV: You’re in a bind trying to fill an important role for your local biz. We can help. Post your opening on our Job Board and get connected to top local talent.

The Buy

Tired of being … tired? You’re not alone. For millions of people over 35, the problem isn’t stress, late nights, or a busy schedule — it’s mineral deficiency. That’s where Organixx Magnesium 7 comes in. The doctor-formulated supplement features seven highly absorbable forms of magnesium to help you fall asleep faster, stay asleep through the night, and wake up feeling well-rested.
Start sleeping better

The Wrap

Lack of romance in Olympic ice hockey got you down? Totally understandable — but this “Heated Rivalry” trivia night should cheer you up. Come to the cottage Kismetic Beer Co. on Wednesday, Feb. 18 at 7 p.m. to show off just how many times you’ve rewatched winter’s hottest show already.
