Here's the story of the Green-Book in Indiana.

Rolling Along

Meet artist Tom Harold, a kinetic sculptor based in Indianapolis.

To see more of Tom's work, head on over to tomharold.com.

The House That Vivian Built

Travel to Gary, Indiana, for the story of a now defunct record company that - through a rather odd set of circumstances - released the Beatles' first album in the US.

If you'd like more information on Vee-Jay Records or other historical curiosities in Northwest Indiana, a great resource is the Calumet Regional Archives.
