Tennis vs. pickleball enters the chat in a West Side court rehab agreement. So long, for real, Chauncey Hill Mall. Marlee Thomas announces she’s leaving WLFI. Dining Divas at Pizza Uncommon. And more
These late-morning posts improve my lunch conversations. Not sure how to parse the story about the ex-assessor (say that drunk) with the porn star name but a very different script. I might focus on whether Marlee will shed her endearing Hoosier twang in whatever large market she is bound for. Thanks for making me incrementally more interesting, Dave!
The noise from pickleball will be tough for the neighbors in the summer, especially with lights allowing it to run late into the night. Those neighbors probably ought to petition the city to pass on its insistence on pickleball lines on these courts and instead to work with Purdue on joint funding of pickleball courts by the tennis complex, where there are no residents to annoy.
Thanks! Those folks in the Avondale neighborhood already get plenty of sports noise from multiple directions. Court lights will also add to the serious lighting the synagogue has started using in the last year (seems prudent but also sad).

Are pickleball players louder than tennis players? Or is it just that the former is more popular?
The contact between the ball and the paddle in pickleball has a higher decibel level (about 70 dB from 100 feet away) according to this NYT article. It's a fairly frequently brought up concern since pickleball grew in popularity. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/06/30/sports/pickleball-noise-complaints-lawsuits.html#:~:text=Unetich%20said%20that%20pickleball%20whacks,true%20magnitude%20of%20any%20annoyance.

What was demolished that allowed for the building of the Chauncey Hill Mall 45 years ago? That would be 1979. Was there emotion then?
