8 cool new movies made in Indiana
Indiana's landscapes and bustling towns really look ready for their close-ups in this batch of films that are in production or were recently finished. Among the highlights: Hollywood actors will voice a 3D animated movie about a government engineer trying to thwart intergalactic war. And the state's vast outdoor beauty makes the cinematography shine in a new coming-of-age film. (For subscribers.)
Fortville spot among Yelp's top
Indiana made Yelp's Top 100 U.S. Restaurants for 2022 just once, and we have FoxGardin Kitchen & Ale to thank. The upstairs bourbon lounge, live music and lobster cognac ravioli went a long way toward endearing the gastropub to reviewers' hearts.

It lasted 174 hours in 1972 in an Indiana University dorm — long enough to break the Guinness World Record. Shower-taker Dave Hoffman kept meticulous records of visits and newspaper clippings, and he walked IndyStar through how he survived without completely morphing into a prune.
Comfort food is on its way
After their Southern concept Natural State Provisions was booted from the Fishers Test Kitchen, the owners behind King Dough pizza have found a spot for a brick-and-mortar version. Fried bologna, gluten-free fried chicken and vegan pulled pork are on their way.
Noblesville jazz teacher is up for a Grammy
Bethany Robinson is a skilled bassist who's grown her high school's jazz program from one ensemble to five and led her advanced band to a prestigious New York City festival. All of that adds up to her current honor: Robinson is one of 10 finalists for the Recording Academy And Grammy Museum's 2022 Music Educator Award.
8 restaurants debuting at Devour
These eateries are new enough to be celebrating their first Devour Indy Winterfest. With steak-fried portabella strips, lemongrass chicken panini sandwiches and mushroom lasagna, it shouldn't take much effort for us to offer a hearty welcome. Here's the list of what they're serving.
