Windsor Jewelry has operated within a stone's throw of Monument Circle since the year 1919. Some of its client relationships go back five generations. It has been owned by only three people: its founder, Sig Asher; then Asher's son-in-law, Herman Logan; and then Greg Bires, an employee who bought the business from Logan in 1998. It has survived the Great Depression, the economic hardships of World War II, the Great Recession and, most recently, the one-two punch of the pandemic and rioters who broke into the store twice in mid-2020. Last week, Windsor's dedicated customers and passersby on Meridian Street learned that everything must go. Bires has decided to retire and is selling the store's inventory at deep discounts with plans to close up shop early next year. Business has been good, he says. In fact, he's been making inroads with a new generation of customers. And it's possible the Windsor Jewelry name might live on, if Bires could be persuaded by some prospective buyer to sell the store's intellectual property. But it appears that Windsor Jewelry as we know it will end its run at about 105 years old and just after Bires hits his 70th birthday in December. Bires is our guest this week for a wide-ranging conversation about how he came to the decision to retire after about 55 years in the jewelry business—a career that started in his early teens. He also explains how the shop was able to persevere through the pandemic era and then take advantage of the way downtown is morphing into more of a residential center.

Have you ever gazed up at the Art Deco-style Circle Tower Building in downtown Indianapolis? With its tiered exterior design of the upper floors, the 14-story building has been a landmark on Monument Circle for more than 90 years. Also on Monument Circle, the Columbia Club has been a presence even longer. The building that houses the prestigious private club was completed in 1925 and is on the National Register of Historic Places. But two former Army airfields in Indianapolis are long gone. Stout Field, where famed aviator Charles Lindbergh made a stop on a national tour in 1927, was in the Mars Hill neighborhood of southwestern Marion County. Schoen Field, which opened in 1922 and became the site of several tragic crashes, was located near the former Fort Benjamin Harrison on the northeast side. Hoosier History Live will explore these current and bygone landmarks as well as several others, including the barracks at Fort Harrison and the Traction Terminal that was the hub of the state's extensive Interurban system of electric rail cars during the early 1900s. https://hoosierhistorylive.org/mail/2024-04-13.html

Before the dust settles on the holiday season, Hoosier History Live will explore the impact of a man who, during a Christmas Eve visit to Monument Circle in the 1930s, found the center of Indianapolis "dark and depressing". So Edward Pierre, an influential architect, crusaded for the first ornaments to be placed on trees at the Soldiers and Sailors Monument in 1947. This was decades before what's now called the "Circle of Lights", which began in 1962. The impact of Edward Pierre (1890-1971) on Monument Circle during the holiday season is just one of the aspects of his career and life that we will spotlight during the show. Pierre, who co-founded the architectural firm of Pierre & Wright and served as president of the Indiana Society of Architects, also designed dozens of other buildings, including the Indiana State Library; Bush Stadium (the former home of the Indianapolis Indians, which opened in 1931 as Perry Stadium), storefronts in Broad Ripple and residential homes in such northside Indianapolis neighborhoods as Meridian-Kessler and Williams Creek Estates. Nelson will be joined by two guests: Lisa Hendrickson, the granddaughter of Edward Pierre and an Indianapolis-based author, editor and owner of a public relations business, Lisa Hendrickson Communications. She wrote about the distinguished architect (whom Lisa called 'Grandpa Ed') in the spring 2022 issue of Traces, the magazine published by the Indiana Historical Society. And Carol Street, the undergraduate research archivist at the University of Kentucky. Carol formerly was the archivist for the Ball State University Architectural Archives, where the architectural records of Pierre & Wright are housed; she says she "fell in love" with Pierre's designs while working on the archives.

One of the most persistent questions about downtown Indianapolis since its 1980s resurgence has been, “Is downtown safe?” In the Feb. 17 issue of IBJ, reporters  Mickey Shuey and Taylor Wooten presented statistics for violent and nonviolent crime indicating that downtown remains one of the city's safest areas, in particular in terms of crimes per capita. Here's the rub: Statistics often don't matter as much as perception. And good luck quoting statistics to someone who has been the victim of a crime. Since safety is a prime concern of business owners and executives whose operations are based downtown, IBJ Podcast host Mason King spoke to two entrepreneurs who have drawn different conclusions about downtown safety and made very different decisions about their downtown operations. Greg Harris is the founder of Backhaul Direct, and Andrew Elsener is a co-founder of Spot (formerly known as Spot Freight). Harris decided to pack up and relocate Backhaul Direct's offices to Fishers after being attacked downtown and hearing other employee concerns about safety. Meanwhile, Elsener decided to open an additional office downtown—although he has concerns about incidents of theft and the shaky state of some downtown infrastructure. In fact, Elsener recently moved his entire family to the Mile Square, just a block north of Monument Circle. The IBJ Podcast is brought to you by Taft.

Monument Circle is the heart of Indianapolis—and has been since the town of Indianapolis was platted in 1821. Unfortunately, the Circle is subject to the same wear and tear as any street. In the 1970s, its surface—both the street and the adjacent sidewalks—were replaced by red bricks. As a nod to the Circle's historic status, bricks are terrific. But those bricks must continually be replaced, which is a constant challenge for the city. More recently, it has become evident that the very foundation of the Circle below those bricks needs to be replaced. What's more—the conventional wisdom for more than a decade has been that we could do more to make the Circle more attractive, more pedestrian-friendly and more conducive to public gatherings. In 2014, the Ballard administration plotted a complete rebuild of the streets and sidewalks of Monument Circle and its four main spokes on Meridian and Market streets. The cost—$54 million—was prohibitive. The city has since embarked on similar projects along East and West Market Streets, which officials hope can serve as a kind of proof of concept for a Monument Circle redo. The Hogsett administration has dusted off the Ballard plan and is strategizing how to turn it into reality. It very likely will require a mix of city, state and federal funds, plus perhaps some philanthropic assistance, to the tune of $60 million. A circle seems like a simple shape, but this is a very complex puzzle for city officials. For this week's edition of the IBJ Podcast, Dan Parker, director of the Indianapolis Department of Public Works, talks with host Mason King about the direction the city is taking and what roadblocks could be in the way.   The IBJ Podcast is brought to you by Taft.

Returning from our holidays with all new stories for all, Tori leads off with someone Florida fun. Ford's Garage is a restaurant inside the Dean Building in downtown Fort Myers. Due to the hauntings there we figure out that Krys is okay with a wineglass being thrown at her as long as you aim it at her mouth. Right down the street the Edison and Ford Winter Estates beckons with random lights shenanigans to an elephant haunting. Tori keeps going with Sanibel and the shady case of Capt Oliver Bowen. This mysterious grave keeps treasure hunters sniffing around to this day and the ghost hunters as well. Next up Cayo Costa State Park and it's little girl ghost (thank you Captain Joe and Tropic Star Adventures. Krys takes us back home to Monument Circle! The Soldiers and Sailors Monument in the center of Indianapolis has it's own backstory. This is on the site of the old governor's mansion, which was relocated down Meridian Street to the north. This monument is a tribute to the four branches of the military that were in evidence at the time of the commission. This landmark in Indy has it's share of deaths and ghosts. At the top of the monument stands the statue Victory and her Weeping Angel like visage.  Our Sources: Wikipedia.org, Indystar.com, Haunted Backroads: Central Indiana (and other stories) Nicole R.

Beginning with a crucial decision by Mercy Road Church, Multiply Indiana was born.With vision for the entire state, the group has multiplied 18 churches on their way to 100 by 2030. They hosted recent event, "March for a Million," anticipating a couple of hundred people gathered in Monument Circle in the center of Indianapolis. More than a thousand showed up. The crowd represented 72 congregations from across the state. Each one committing to make disciples who can make disciples with a secondary motive to plant churches. Jon pastors a strong, sacrificial church along with his role as operations director for Multiply Indiana. The interview presents the fun, chaos and learning necessary to launch a similar network. They've moved beyond adding churches to multiplying from within.If you are considering ways to extend the gospel, this interview will provoke some new thinking and even give you a pattern you can use as a starting place. Every community is different and each congregation has its own particular calling but Jon presents a good place for beginning and then modifying to suite your purpose.

As Hoosier History Live kicks off our 13th year on the air, our spotlight will turn to a historic milestone for Indiana's largest city. Many historians consider Jan. 6, 1821 to be the official birthdate of Indianapolis (it's often called Founders Day for the city) because that's when the Indiana General Assembly approved the site selected for the new state capital. They also approved the new city's name. So it's an ideal opportunity to present another program in our periodic series saluting the Bicentennial era that stretches from June 2020 to May 2021. The celebratory era began with the 200th anniversary of a meeting on June 7, 1820 at a cabin owned by pioneer John McCormick in what is now White River State Park. At that meeting, which also is sometimes called the city's birthdate, state officials selected the site they would recommend to the legislature.  For this show, we will explore several topics, including some related to upcoming events on Founders Day, exhibits, lost landmarks and how the legislature handled the historic act that approved the site for Indianapolis. To explore more about the latter, our guest, Indianapolis-based Jordan Ryan of The History Concierge, recommends  what she calls an "underused resource:" the Indiana Historical Legislative Documents collection. Jordan is an architectural historian and archivist who formerly served as the coordinator of the Indianapolis Bicentennial collecting initiative and exhibit for the Indiana Historical Society. In that capacity, she helped organize exhibits at the Indiana History Center related to our topics, including a "Lost Landmarks" exhibit that will open Jan. 9. Major landmarks that have been demolished during 200 years of Indianapolis history - and that we will explore with Jordan during our show - include the following: The English Theater, Hotel and Opera House on Monument Circle. Built in stages beginning during the 1880s, the majestic structure, which included the largest theater stage in the state, was a showplace in the Midwest for nearly 70 years. Amid a public outcry, it was razed in 1948 to make way for construction of a JC Penney department store. Many architectural historians consider the loss of the lavish English Theater and Hotel, with its frescoed walls, massive pillars and an exterior balcony for public figures to address audiences on Monument Circle, to be the most regrettable demolition in city history. (During the 1970s, the J.C. Penney store that replaced it was closed. In recent decades, the site has been an office complex that, until last year, housed the headquarters of Anthem Inc., a health benefits provider.) And the Indianapolis Cyclorama, a distinctive, circular structure with a dome that was built after the Civil War with the singular purpose of showcasing a gigantic, 360-degree mural that was a public attraction. It was a painting of the Battle of Atlanta created by a team of artists who traveled to Georgia to observe the site of the bloody conflict. In 1903, the Cyclorama exhibition hall was demolished. Since then, its site at Market and Illinois streets – about one block from the Indiana Statehouse – has been used in several ways. Currently, a hotel in the Hilton chain is located on the site. Founders Day events on Jan. 6 will include Lost and Demolished: Preservation Through 200 Years of Indianapolis History, a virtual program co-hosted by Indiana Landmarks and the Historical Society. The Historical Society also has a "You Are There" exhibit about the pageant and other festivities that celebrated the Centennial of Indianapolis in 1920.  Hoosier History Live explored the Centennial celebrations - as well as the ways Indy marked its 175th birthday in 1971 - during our show kicking off the year 2020.  Some of the lost landmarks we will explore during our show - including the Cyclorama and English Theater, Hotel and Opera House - are featured in Indianapolis Then and Now (Pavilion Books, 2015 revised edition), a visual history of the city co-written by Nelson, our host, and Joan Hostetler. Also during this show, Nelson and our guest Jordan Ryan will discuss some of the names that briefly were proposed for the new state capital before the General Assembly approved "Indianapolis." Alternatives included naming the city Tecumseh as a salute to the great Native American leader, a Shawnee chief who was based in Indiana. Even though Tecumseh and his warriors fought white settlers in battle, admiration for his leadership skills was widespread on both sides. After the site and name for Indianapolis were approved in 1821, surveyors Alexander Ralston and Elias Fordham were hired to design the city; their plan also will be described by during the show. Related to some of these developments in 1821, on Jan. 6 the Indianapolis Bicentennial Commission will offer a Founders Day virtual activity for students in third through sixth grades. The lesson involves the original city plat map, called the Ralston Plan, and an invitation for students to design their own city maps; details are posted online.

  If I had a soapbox, one of the things I'd shout about is context.  Do you know how to weave together the circumstances based on the setting.  That's context.  The word context means to weave together. con: together texure: to weave Ali Cudby is a master weaver, she understands the need for context.  She's woven together an interesting life full of experiences while refining her gifts and talents and where they best fit. Ali recently learned more about context after moving to Indianapolis, IN; a location that was not on her radar or her master plan.  After stints in Hollywood film, working for the New York Times, a hard earned degree from Ivy League Wharton School of Business, and a life changing bra experience turned business and best selling book, Ali found herself in the middle of the United States learning a new language.  The language of the Midwest; "are you one of us". The Midwest culture values relationships, family. longevity and generations of trust.  Ali with all of her gifts and talents and experience, was the new girl.  A new girl in a beautiful city surrounded by incredibility nice people.  She learned to speak the language, the language of kindness, trust and becoming one of the "us". We should always stand tall in our story, know our gifts and talents, value them, and learn how they fit contextually.  Because Ali is a master weaver, she quickly learned that an Ivy League resume and New York Times bio was more about being an "outsider" than a stand out top candidate in the Monument Circles of Indianapolis. Pardon the local pun and joke about our city center literally called Monument Circle. Instead of hiding behind her resume and seeking her business elsewhere as a consultant who can work anywhere  in the U.S. she became one of us, she looked for connections.  She was courageously curious about us Midwesterners and specifically Indy, as we affectionately call our city of Indianapolis.  She's building relationships and sharing her story.  This is context.  When we stand tall in our own story with authenticity and vulnerability, we give others permission to do the same. Ali has become a friend, I value her courage and her resume.  I deeply respect Ali's passion for customer loyalty and customer experience.  She's mastered her craft and knows the spaces she fits best to help business owners here in Indianapolis and around the country.  If you're a "people first" leader running a small to mid size business ($5M to $20M) looking to capitalize on the value of keeping your customers loyal and engaged, schedule a chat with Ali.  After all, you spent a lot of time and money getting those customers, doesn't it just make sense to keep them around for generations, sounds like a Midwest thing to do. She loves coffee and customers and is happy to meet you in a local shop. She knows the owners and the patrons of her favorite places, as the locals do. Find Ali and her business Your Iconic Brand here. Check out her LinkedIn profile. Ali is passionate about helping you keep your customers.  #CustomerLoyalty We'll have her back when her new book about Customer Loyalty launches fall 2019!
