Indianapolis Restaurant Scene Takes a 'Road Trip" to Joseph Decuis Gourmet Restaurant Near Fort Wayne

"If you haven’t been here yet, you need to go. Seriously. This was one of the best restaurants I have been to in Indiana...We went to celebrate hubby’s birthday and decided to spend the night. That’s the thing—it is about an hour and a half from Indy, and if you want to have a little wine with your dinner, you sort of need to spend the night I think."

"Cleaning up in clean-tech industries"

"The federal stimulus package, with its emphasis on green jobs, is helping to infuse funds and support for the growth. But according to the Colorado Cleantech Industry Association, an industry support group, the clean-tech boom is being powered by the state's mix of innovators, research and entrepreneurs.

The CCIA released a state cleantech action plan in mid-October to provide an industry overview and to identify areas for development and growth. The organization ratcheted up the fanfare by holding the first-ever Cleantech Awards ceremony, where Northern Colorado businesses, um, cleaned up."
