Remember when Wednesdays meant there was a fresh alt-weekly newspaper in the newspaper box on the corner?
In it you found faces you recognized — of your friends and maybe even yourself. Mirror Indy’s new arts and culture newsletter is an ode to that magic, which is why it will hit your mailbox every Wednesday at noon. You can read or listen to it!

Hoosier Chop Suey, Afrofuturism and Pierogi
Dear Play Listers,
When you hear the word “Hoosier,” what comes to mind?
The Indy 500?
John Mellencamp suckin’ on chili dogs?
Larry Bird eating a pork tenderloin?
Cole Porter saying “ope”?
Madam C.J. Walker watching basketball?
These are all great Hoosier thoughts.
But today I’m saying “yes, and” to bring a few more things to the table. Things like Chinese laundries and chop suey restaurants, an Afrofuturism festival and pierogies.
This goofy newsletter is Hoosier too. And you and me, we are Hoosier spuds.
