People have proven they are ready to get out of the house after nearly a year of putting the skids on social events, especially concerts.
Just as the city of Chicago has started thinking about resuming some of its bigger summer events, many local Northwest Indiana communities have likewise started to talk about, and in some cases plan, a return to annual spring and summer music fests and events. While nothing seems in stone as of this week, the wheels are starting to roll in that direction regionally.
Jesse and Priscilla Jones were treated to some musical entertainment by Jordan Warren, Noah Ostrom and Camille Cherch on Saturday in Highland as the couple celebrated their 72nd anniversary.

Despite its prominent location at a heavily trafficked intersection just south of the Borman Expressway in a town that is otherwise thriving, the Griffith Park Plaza shopping center has been declining for years.
The Big Kmart that long anchored the outdoor shopping center at Cline Avenue and Ridge Road shuttered in 2018. Many of the storefronts have long sat empty â the Griffith Park Cinema I-II screened their last films in 1998 and have stayed dark since. Most of the mall s facades haven t been renovated for years, and it shows.
The parking lot is riddled with potholes. It s such an underutilized sea of asphalt it had previously been used as a pickup and drop-off spot for a bus to Chicago s airports.
