In defense of Indiana

Alysa Guffey | Monday, October 12, 2020

Ah yes, the Notre Dame introduction: Hi! My name is Alysa. I am studying history, and I am from Indianapolis, Ind. Then comes the question: “What is there to even do in Indianapolis?” Usually, I pivot quickly to attending the Indianapolis 500, the most well-known fact about my city and an event that brings thousands

Observer Staff Report | Tuesday, September 15, 2020

A recent study conducted by researchers at Notre Dame modeled coronavirus transmissions in classrooms and cautioned Indiana K-12 schools to enforce mask wearing and limited capacity, or face grim consequences.

The ‘Riviera of the Middle West’: Indiana Beach is gone for good

Nicole Bilyak | Wednesday, February 26, 2020

There isn’t much to consider when it comes to amusement parks in Indiana — which is due to the state just not having very many parks to begin with.

‘Monrovia, Indiana,’ while close to home, seems worlds away

Jim Moster | Wednesday, November 7, 2018

If you were to hop in a car and drive south for the length of a Notre Dame football game, you’d find yourself in Monrovia, Indiana. An outsider might mistake the small farming community for a ghost town, but veteran filmmaker Frederick Wiseman assures you that its residents are alive and kicking — if only

Scene (near) South Bend: Spend a day in Goshen

Nora McGreevy and Charlie Kenney | Friday, October 5, 2018

Look, football is great and all, but those rare fall weekends without an exhausting, multi-hour sporting event are, in the opinion of these writers, some of the season’s greatest luxuries. Northern Indiana thrives in the fall and so do we. Temperatures creep down, breezes are crisper, leaves turn to crimsons, ambers and goldens — it’s the

States as Tinder profiles

Davis Gonsalves | Wednesday, September 19, 2018

I have noticed a general trend among the population at large, but particularly within Notre Dame, that certain states have more positive views attached within them. These are amplified at a university that draws from the whole country. To see how these views manifested themselves in a more intimate context, I made Tinder accounts for
