Deborah Farrar Community Signage

Do you ever drive through a neighborhood and think it’s flawless? Perfect homes, perfect yards…everything just fits together like a glove. I love seeing these types of communities and apartment complexes. It’s exciting to me to see when the signs accompanying the communities are in unison with the vision the designer had. I think an excellent example of unity with signage and the community it represents would be Prairie Lakes in Noblesville, Indiana. I’m proud to say that the company I work for,… Continue

Deborah Farrar Traffic

I recently had someone call me who was needing help with getting traffic to their apartment community. It excited me to hear this because that is just where we began as a company. Let me explain a bit further: Redirections Sign and Design began over 20-years ago with something called a Weekend Directional Sign Program. That is all Redirections was at that time. What that means is it be… Continue

Marcia Clutter P.S. This Play is a Treat!

If you’re looking for something a bit out of the ordinary in the way of local arts & entertainment, and you are an adult who enjoys dark comedy, you may want to check out Lebanon's Center Stage Community Theatre’s production of P.S. Your Cat is Dead. Directed by Cheryl Fesmire, P.S. Your Cat is Dead was written by James Kirkwood.

Ernest Rando Highlights from the Plant Exchange Event hosted by maple Creek Unity Group, Indianapolis, May 9th 2009

Well it would seem that the Greenerdog missed out on the excitement that was in the air of the Plant Exchange when it started at 1pm at St Richards. However there were still plenty of plants around at 2pm and there were still people having a good time and bringing in plants for the exchange when I left at 2:30. After talking to the friendly people that put the Plant Exchange together I learned… Continue

Ben McCann Helping People in Job Transition is Rewarding

I have been working on helping people in Job Transition for a few years now ( on the side ) for FREE. Since I have always been a good networker, lots of people have sent me their resumes to "keep my eyes open" and other companies and clients send me job postings because I have a "good eye" for talent. By December 2008 I had more of these emails then I could handle, but I still wanted to help as many people as possible. After being a part of SI almost since the beginning, I decided to do somethi… Continue

Milo Curtis Building Digital Campfires

I love camping with friends. And I mean real camping. The kind where there is no electricity, running water comes out of a community spicket, and the bathroom is an outhouse. That's the kind of camping I enjoy. Of course, one of the mainstays to camping is the campfire. We warm ourselves by it, cook on it, and feel more manly by creating it. Friendships are deepend around campfires. Signi… Continue

Chris Hardie Brainstorming community improvement ideas

I've created a new website in Richmond, Indiana that follows in the theme of what Smaller Indiana is, on an even more local level. I thought that Smoosiers here might enjoy hearing about it, and might even want to implement something similar in your own community. RichmondBrainstorm.com may be an online destination, but it was created to help make the real world a better place. The new website collects ideas from Richmond, Indiana residents about… Continue

Deb New Fear is not the answer

Fear or bravery? Doomsday or opportunity? Everywhere I seem to turn there’s bad news — layoffs, bankruptcys, financial disaster. And, when times get tough, organizations seem to cut and stop doing things important to their business or organizational success. Cut people, cut programs, cut budgets, cut services, cut communications and marketing. Been there. Done that. Doesn’t really see that it works so well. Consider that we all get to think more creatively. Creativity has always made the world g… Continue
