Film based on public radio show opened Friday

By David Germain · Sunday, June 11,2006 9:54 p.m.

It's not so hard out here to get pimped

By Alyson Brodsy and Zack Teibloom · Friday, June 9,2006 11:01 a.m.

Ten-switch hydraulics, custom paint and window designs, crushed velvet interior and enough bass to wake up Martinsville are featured in rides pimped right here in Bloomington. For more than 10 years, members of Bloomington car club, "The Player$," have been traveling to car shows to show off their rides. Many of them have been obsessed with cars their whole lives, buying their first show car at age 16. The love of bikes started at age five for Doug Smith, 26, manager of Ackerman Auto Detail who rode dirt bikes before he could get a street bike.

Pretty is Wreckers only strength

By K. A. MacDonald · Thursday, June 8,2006 12 a.m.

Stand Tall, Look Pretty, the debut album from the Wreckers, is so unremarkable that I didn't realize that I knew the first song, having heard it on the radio a number of times, and most of the words to the song until I caught myself singing along.

"Sanders," "Longhole" and the ever-popular "Rooftop" are just some of the names used to refer to the quarry that was immortalized in the 1979 film "Breaking Away."
