Meet the real-life Informant!

By Eric Robinette | Thursday, September 17, 2009, 10:57 AM

Tomorrow I will write about Matt Damon’s performance as Mark Whitacre, an FBI informant who fingered his employer in what was then the biggest price-fixing case in U.S. history.

Today, however, I’d like to introduce you to the real Mark Whitacre, a Warren County native. I spoke to Whitacre about the experience of seeing his story become a movie; you can read my interview here.

My review of The Informant! will post Friday.

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 »
