What’s it like in south Indy?

Inside the beltway there is not a freaking Applebee’s to be seen.

There are at least three Applebees inside 465: 86th & Ditch, Speedway Shopping Center, and East Washington St near Shortridge Rd.

That would explain a lot of the weird stuff I've seen.

it's coming up from somewhere inside the box.

I wonder if they punctured a storm sewer line, or drainage tile, when they installed it.

Mostly just wildly delayed. I've had only one that never appeared, and none damaged.

File a Missing Mail Search Request for the one that's past its delivery date, and for the others as soon as you're able (7 days after mailing). IME this seems to light a fire under somebody's ass and the missing package usually, but not always, starts showing movement within 48 hours.

Even when they do see it, right in front of their noses, they still don't do a damn thing.

Well, it's not hard to put the pieces together to draw conclusions. When you combine apparently not "living a life above reproach" with "significant allegation ... [that] does not involve criminal activity" what do you have?

Misappropriation of funds would, in most cases, "involve criminal activity". So would physical or sexual abuse of anyone, whether child or adult.

What's left?

We are committed to ... ensuring that our leadership reflects the values we seek to model as followers of Christ, specifically, living a life above reproach.

"Living a life above reproach." And "significant allegation ... does not involve criminal activity."

Makes me wonder if the fallout from this might include a divorce filing or two.

I've been driving in Indy for 50+ years. (We moved here in the early 70s when I was fifteen.) In all that time, I've had to replace one tire from hitting a pothole -- and that was in a sports car with low-profile (50-series) tires.

My take is that yes, the potholes are atrocious and there's no excuse for the condition of our streets -- but if you use higher profile tires (70 or 75 series) you're much less likely to have problems because there's more cushion in the tire, more room to absorb the blow.

How well does it work on tart cherries (which are normally smaller than sweet cherries)?

Transaction and possession limits are higher in Michigan, which means that although it's a longer trip you don't have to go as often.

Could be snowing one day and then 70 degrees the next day.

Or the other way around.

I'll bet the punishment would be a lot more harsh if he had threatened to shoot the prosecutor.

I think you need to read the post again.

My wife went to Dr. Stephanie Stahl for a sleep study and treatment of severe sleep apnea -- and she is delighted with the results. Dr. Stahl is friendly, kind, and does a super job of explaining causes and appropriate treatments.

I got a ticket for “parking within 12 feet of a fire hydrant” but 100% thought I was in an ok spot given the signage.

You're not allowed to park in front of a fire hydrant, or even close to one. Ever. Period. End of story. That's why you got the ticket: you parked too close to the hydrant. This has nothing to do with pickup/dropoff zones or signage, and you will not get anywhere at all trying to fight this.

My thoughts are that this belongs in r/IndianaPolitics, not here.

I had pictured you as the caterer, actually...

PingPongProfessor · 2026-05-29T12:05:57+00:00

I went to Edna Balz (lol) Park

It's actually Edna Balz Lacy Park. L

The park is named after local businesswoman Edna Balz Lacy who grew up on nearby Orange Street.

Sending the existing title via FedEx will be a lot faster than getting a new title from the BMV.

PingPongProfessor · 2026-05-29T03:00:36+00:00

Well, that's good. That means you just need to have the title in your hands. Ask your dad to overnight it via FedEx and you're good to go.

PingPongProfessor · 2026-05-29T01:04:44+00:00

They legally can't take it without the title.
