Roberts Stadium A Shell of Its Former Self – Literally

Ryan O'Bryan — Fri, 25 Jan 2013 22:10:29 +0000

If you haven’t driven east on the Lloyd in some time, you may be shocked by what you see. Unlike some of my west side brothers and sisters, I don’t mind heading to the east side to shop, grab some food, or whatever, but when I do head that way from my house on the [...]

Watch Orlando's Amway Arena Implode – [VIDEO]

Ryan O'Bryan — Tue, 27 Mar 2012 02:00:48 +0000

I’m not quite sure why we guys enjoy watching things get destroyed, but we do…a lot! The Amway Arena in Orlando got the implosion treatment on Sunday and thanks to the Orlando Sentinel newspaper, we get a front row seat for all the “explosive” action (sorry, I couldn’t resist)! I’m obviously not in the construction [...]

65th Annual Home Show Offers Something for Everyone – [PHOTOS]

Ryan O'Bryan — Sun, 18 Mar 2012 16:02:03 +0000

I had the chance to spend a couple of hours yesterday down at The Center for the annual Courier and Press Home Show. As a guy who likes to think I can pull off home improvement projects, I certainly found a ton of great ideas and things I'd like to have for my house (not that I need to add anymore to my "Honey-Do" list)

Get Your Honey-Do List Together at the Upcoming Home Show

Ryan O'Bryan — Thu, 15 Mar 2012 18:24:58 +0000

If your house is like mine, there's a list of things that need to be fixed and projects you want to start. For example, we've lived in our house for nearly nine years and outside of our painting son and daughter's bedrooms, have done virtually nothing to the interior since putting fresh paint on the walls before we officially moved in. Needless to say, we're due up for a bit of remodeling. But inspiration is difficult to come by sometimes when dealing with everything else life has to offer. Fortunately, this weekend's Home Show will offer all types of inspiration for both inside your home and out.

Watch The Ford Center Transform into Three Events in One 24-Hour Period – [VIDEO]

Ryan O'Bryan — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 21:13:38 +0000

I've been to a few events at the new Ford Center in Downtown Evansville including the monster truck show a few weeks ago and a couple of Evansville Icemen home games. Knowing that these are obviously two completely different events using the same floor, I often find myself wondering how they change said floor to suit each individual event (keeping in mind that it's also the home court for the University of Evansville's basketball teams). Thanks to the Ford Center's YouTube page, now I know.

Who Would You Like to See Perform in Evansville – Survey

Ryan O'Bryan — Fri, 18 Nov 2011 18:00:49 +0000

When you look at the artists who have visited the Evansville area over the years, it doesn't take long to see that Evansville is country music lovin' kind of town. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but we know there are those of us here in town that don't list country music as our preferred listening choice (myself included).
