A City With Heart

One of the joys of producing a bi-monthly city magazine is meeting the people, places, and things that make our bend in the river so eclectic and special.

In this issue, we learned that Honey Moon Coffee Co. owners Zac and Jessica Parsons (page 19) prefer fruity tones in their coffee at home and are intentional about the music played at their four shops.

West Side resident and podcaster John Schroeder welcomed us to his backyard (page 41), where visitors can drive golf balls off his porch and launch items from a medieval-style trebuchet.

Evansville Thunderbolts Captain Matthew Hobbs says winning the city’s first SPHL championship in April “was surreal.” A minor league team with major league heart (page 26), the Bolts are vigorously defending the title. Fans are catching hockey fever, too.

We’re reflecting on the keen talents and passions of late real estate agent Susan Haynie, who died in August. She was instrumental in helping renovate and design a riverfront condominium now home to Lloyd Winnecke and Carol McClintock (page 44). “An icon of design,” McClintock recalls of her dear friend.
