The dark and smoky bar at the north end of Michigan City’s Uptown Arts District was known for its fish and chips, burgers and other pub fare. It drew crowds for its open mic nights and to its outdoor patio in the summer, where diners and drinkers could feel a gentle lake breeze, and was, of course, a popular destination after the lakefront city’s St. Patrick’s Day Parade.

If you marvel at the fact that some new sports cars have more lines of code than an Airbus A380, then consider this: the Maserati GranTurismo predates the Apple iPhone.

Traditionally manual planting has been most effective when replanting an area with seedlings (1-2 yr old trees grown in a nursery). Why use seeds?

It has 12 different wash programmes (the Express 20 wash programme is perfect if you need a quick wash that produces extraordinary results for small loads in just 20 minutes) and a two-year guarantee. It’s renowned for gentle care of clothes, and won’t pile or ladder them.

"It’s with mixed feelings that we are announcing that Bohemian Joe’s has been sold," the owners posted on Facebook. "This really has been quite a journey for our family.

We have learned so much and have made our share of mistakes along the way. We apologize to anyone we disappointed for it was never for lack of trying or caring. I hope that we leave you with more positive memories than negative."

The rest of the Niro’s driving qualities are well-sorted, just as they are in the Ioniq I recently tested. On twisty back roads, the direct steering helps the hybrid feel nimble. The suspension expertly keeps body roll in check, while soaking up bumps with aplomb, and the brakes bring everything smoothly back to rest, free from the maligned regenerative lurch sometimes found in other hybrids.

The store just east of Ind. 49 will employ 350 workers and be open 24/7. It will include a gas station and curbside pickup.

From the beaches of South Florida, the Renos headed to the fields of the Midwest. Soon, the Chiefs found their man. After starting his career in part with the Arizona Cardinals, Reno became the head groundskeeper for the Class A affiliate of the St. Louis variety.

The breakfast and lunch joint is in the old Zorba’s space at 3309 45th St. in Highland, on the Griffith border.

Some fundamental aspects of the business plan, however, missed the mark. Hard Rock Park’s marketing campaign leaned on extravagant gimmicks, like hiring the Beatles’ last remaining Magical Mystery Tour Bus and towing it around the country on a promotional tour in 2007. The park’s goofy TV ad was heavy on rock and roll attitude but light on information about the attraction, and management failed to strike marketing partnerships with businesses in the area, overlooking the fact that Myrtle Beach was primarily a regional destination where venues thrived on local cross-promotion. Almost every local I talked to about the park said the $50 ticket price was too high, and complained about the lack of discounts for children and locals.

Splashy Sin City decor lined the walls, and daily raffles and live musical acts gave diners in the Tri-Town a little taste of the Vegas experience.
