I am hoping for some scoops and dishes on the cool underbelly of Fountain Square. My family and I just moved in to the neighborhood and are looking to make a list of all of the eccentricites and must-do's that make Fountain Square what it is. I know some of the obvious things to do such as enjoy a few good hours worh of drinks and conversation at Deano's Vino and I love Big Car. What are all of the under or never advertised things happening around the Square though? I would love help in compiling a to do list of sorts and supporting the neighborhood.
I have to add one first. Tex Mex on East Street sells an awesome Chorizo burrito. And if you ever wondered what late night bar food in Mexico is like you need to order the barbacoa tacos. Buy a lime and spritz it on. They are awesome and bring back memories for me.

All Fountain Square info. A good place to start.
Check out: -Wheeler Arts Center -Fountain Square Theatre has swing dancing every other Friday night! It is amazing. $10 to get in, $12 includes an hour dance class - full swing orchestra, and many great singers. The place is gorgeous, and I can happily go to people watch - amazing dancers and a lot of fun. -Duckpin bowling at the Fountain Square Theatre with a 1950s diner.
APRIL 4TH (6-9PM) IS FIRST FRIDAY - ART GALLERIES ARE OPEN LATER THAN NORMAL, MEET THE ARTISTS, HAVE SOME WINE, APPETIZERS...www.idada.org or call 634-3114.
I totally forgot to mention the Wheeler Building. Thanks! I actually started my art career there. I love the architecture and I have some great memories of nights spent drinking, smoking and painting. I will have a piece in the IDADA show that night (APRIL 4TH). As a plug for IDADA, every piece of art for sale that night will be 100 dollars. Super cheap art but for a great cause!
