For 25 years, St. Margaret’s House has served South Bend as a day center where women in the community can come and seek shelter and support. For 20 of those years, the house has held its annual Winter Walk, which leads participants through downtown South Bend to raise money for and awareness about its cause,

The “Notre Dame bubble” is a theme and topic that sometimes seems to be overshadowed by more “local” occurrences on campus. I have taken a number of courses, in topics ranging from theology to policy, that seek to address how Notre Dame is an island in South Bend. But this narrative often seems like it

On Thursday, John Mellencamp took the stage in South Bend to promote the release of his 24th studio album, “Other People’s Stuff.” Mellencamp has been writing and performing his own songs for over 40 years, since his first professional album in 1976.

Highs in the upper 60s with a slight ocean breeze, sun shining overhead

When I tell people that some of the best empanadas I’ve ever had were in South Bend, just across from Martin’s, they’re inevitably skeptical. Most people don’t think of it as a town with a wide array of ethnic food. But in defense of the Bend, I lived in Manhattan for 18 years without visiting

Since I started attending Notre Dame, I haven’t left South Bend for longer than five weeks at a time. I spent my first summer volunteering at the Center for the Homeless and my second interning for an educational non-profit in Elkhart.

On Sept. 20, Michael Adamek, a custodian at the University of Notre Dame, died in the Hesburgh Library parking lot. I didn’t know about his death, however, until more than two weeks later.
