The Office Lounge was surprisingly fun!

Not as big on the nightlife these days, more of a nice dinner and music kind of gal, but a bunch of my friends got together for a night on the town the other night. We wanted to go to the Players Pub but it was sold out, so the only other option for that [...]

What I love about Bloomington

What I love about Bloomington

I moved to Indiana from California in 2001. Not long after I lived here I discovered Bloomington. I’ll never forget that first day.

Do locals appreciate Bloomington as much as newcomers do?

A question has come up more than once, do the locals appreciate Bloomington as much as the transplants & newcomers do? Or is it just after you’ve been spoiled by something for so long, you don’t appreciate it as much or maybe you do, you just don’t express it? Because it seems to be the [...]

Cautionary Tales when Choosing a Mover

Cautionary Tales when Choosing a Mover

Imagine your rolling pin, yes, I said rolling pin dismantled with each piece placed in a different box. I didn’t even know rolling pins could be dismantled until I opened up the box and found a piece of it with the other pieces nowhere in sight. I could deal with that because there were only [...]
