Downtown on the Square

Downtown on the Square is a cute little restaurant/bar in downtown Columbia City, Indiana. The restaurant has booths with huge tables. The overall decor is neutral, with photos of Columbia City landmarks. I had prime rib and it was delicious. For an appetizer, I had chips and salsa. The chips were unusual; they had some sort of spice on them. I had lemonade to drink and it was very good; sweet with a little bit of tartness. 

Entrees run between $10 and $30. It's open until 10 p.m. on weeknights. The address is 111 South Main Street, Columbia City, Indiana. Phone them at 260-244.4011. The restaurant opens at 11 a.m. Friday and Saturday, it's open until 11 p.m. and Sunday it's open until 9 p.m. 

It seemed like a casual restaurant, but seemingly a bit more elegant than your usual downtown diner. But I liked the decor very much.

The sign!

This was taken on the courthouse side of the street. Don't know if they set up tables on the sidewalk when it's nice out, but if they are able to, they should.

Drugs and Drink And God: An Interview with Sarah Katherine Lewis

Back in the glorious 1990s, Sarah-Katherine published a 'zine called Pasty. It was one of the best ones of the perzine genre.

We traded 'zines, and I also got 'zines from other talented writers. Well, Sarah-Katherine got a legit publishing deal and went on to publish Indecent: How I Fake it and Make it as a Girl For Hire   and Sex and B acon: Why I Love Things That are Very, Very Bad For Me   . A review on Sex and Bacon will be coming from me . Indecent sounds awesome too, and as a repressed Catholic girl, I'm sure I'll enjoy it. Sarah-K's latest publishing venture is about being in rehab. If you loved her 'zine, you'll love Rehab A Go-Go . I know I did. Sarah-Katherine is a hell of a writer. Entertaining, funny, philosophical. She's talented and ...

Some Thoughts on American Dirt, Cultural Identity, Cultural Appropriation and other Assorted Nonsense in My Life

I guess there's a book out called American Dirt which is getting criticized because it was written by a white woman about a Mexican woman fleeing Mexico because she's getting chased by someone involved in drugs or something. I haven't read the book; I'm just going on what I've seen online so far. Apparently, Sandra Cisneros endorsed the book, which really pissed off Alisa Valdes Rodriguez. Read the brilliant blog post, “Auntie Sandra's Cabin: Why No One Should be Surprised Sandra Cisneros Endorsed American Dirt .” It's a fascinating read, and parts of it made me think, “right on.” It's also sort of summed up why the so-called “voices of their people” quasi-academics/writers have never really appealed to me. I can't identify with them. I grew up in the Midwest the daughter of a government worker and a restaurant employee. I grew up wanting take figure skating, gymnastics and ballet lessons, which I never did as a kid. I was able to finagle horse...
