The complaints of residents saying there is nothing to do and nowhere to go have all but gone away. The almost audible groans of business owners under the weight of former administrations’ development decisions are but a murmur. The sound of shoppers’ exodus out of Downtown is no more.

“Pete” — Evansville’s own man of mystery. Since 1990, Pete has offered up the spirit of the holiday season with the Easterseals Rehabilitation Center selected as the recipient of his generosity. This gentleman (who chooses to remain anonymous) has, I like to believe, enjoyed himself immensely by giving without expectation and from his heart. He now has donated nearly $90,000, with all of the money going to help and serve kids.
Evansville’s newest mixed-use development is gaining momentum as construction begins on new roads, restaurants, retail stores, and sidewalks.

Many know State Auditor and Lt. Governor-elect Suzanne Crouch hails from Evansville. But did you know she used to work as an auction manager for WNIN? Or that, at one time, real estate was her profession? It may be news to you that she began her political career as the coordinator for Sen. Richard Lugar’s campaign phone bank in 1982. She’s also a Rolling Stones fan.
The Catholic Foundation of Southwestern Indiana just received a slick update for its pre-existing website. Todd Brock, executive director of the Foundation, says, “The mission of The Catholic Foundation is to help individuals create legacies to serve God through Catholic causes.” The Foundation serves nearly 80,000 Catholics in the Diocese of Evansville. Its website is easily navigated and intuitive, featuring four pop-up informational tabs that discuss parish life, Catholic education, social services, and vocations.
Jon Headlee may not have M.D. behind his name, but he has spent enough time in hospitals to know health care is about more than just treating people when they are sick. As president of Evansville-based Ten Adams — one of the nation’s leading healthcare marketing and advertising agencies — Headlee and his team help hospitals, doctors, and clinics survive and thrive in the midst of healthy competition.
