There’s something funny going on at the bank …

By Eric Robinette | Thursday, September 25, 2008, 11:14 AM

For some reason, one of my colleagues asked me to come up with a list of financial movies - Wall Street, Boiler Room, etc. Can’t imagine why stuff like that is on anyone’s mind …

The clip I can’t get out of my mind is the bank run from It’s a Wonderful Life.

Suddenly this scene looks scary, doesn’t it? If only we could get by on $20 these days. But let’s have a little fun. Who in the read world is The Mr. Potter in all this mess? The forgetful Uncle Billy?

And most importantly, who’s our George Bailey?

The floor is yours …

Sadly, the “greed is good” speech from Wall Street is what I have been hearing.

Think spring with help from art exhibit [things to do]

California Impressionism

So you're ready for spring and you'd love to get away from it all, but that simply isn't in the picture at the moment. Well, thanks to the Dayton Art Institute and The Irvine Museum, what is in the picture is a soothing alternative: a visit back in time to California's lush and gorgeous landscapes in an era when they were still pristine. "All Things Bright & Beautiful," the new exhibit that recently opened at the DAI, is aptly named. The colorful collection of 60 turn-of-the century California Impressionist paintings is irresistible. Forty-four artists are represented. » More

LIke Asian food? Here are some restaurants worth trying [restaurants]

Asian food

The Miami Valley's Asian dining scene continues to welcome impressive newcomers as it blossoms and diversifies. Dayton-area Asian food enthusiasts now have access to great diversity of dishes and cuisines. Chinese cuisine dominated the Asian dining landscape 20 years ago and remains a potent force. But today there are far more Thai and Korean options available locally, and Vietnamese and Japanese restaurants, including sushi bars, have increased. Here's a sampler platter of a few of the relatively new (or newer) Asian restaurants well worth trying. More »
