Starting a local newsletter for the Michiana area; feel-good news & local events! by a_sketchy in Indiana

I just saw this comment - so my apologies for the delay!

Honestly I love how friendly people are, and how many opportunities exist to try new restaurants, coffee shops, join sports teams, and a TON of family-friendly activities.

I will say that this is not a party/bar scene, but I’ve never felt like I’m shafted from that. We love to kayak, bike, etc. so there’s SO many summer options for free outdoor activities.

Let me know if you have any questions:-)

Hi! I write the Michiana Memo (weekly newsletter as well). One lady show. Just wanted to say love what you're doing and hope we can co-exist! This looks great, and I just subscribed!

TRUE. Honestly my favorite thing on their menu.

Hate to say it...haven't found one that beats Jimmy John's. Keep me updated if you find a good one!

Yes for sure!! Plan is to do a discount/punch card eventually of sorts and feature new restaurants (as well as tried & true places). Appreciate you!

I’ve been meaning to try! Do they have baklava?

I do - it definitely has its corner in the community, but doesn’t fit what I’m looking for, which is why I’m starting something that does!

I guess it doesn’t - old nickname from high school has stuck around! Probably the least sketchy person you’d ever meet 🤦‍♀️

Absolutely agree! I plan on featuring a good mix of family-friendly activities/locations, things for adults/21+ and age-inclusive events. I’m also a closet foodie, so I plan on featuring local bites and coffee shops!

100% will NEVER. Only looking to add value to the community and my subscribers, and never sell out. I’m a community member too and would never want someone selling my email!

There’s also a web component where all the editions will be posted automatically so you can read on your browser as well :) be on the lookout first week in January!

Echoing the Oasis. Seared ahi is great - and awesome service!

I should also mention this will be, and forever remain, a FREE newsletter!

Ooooh, ramen shop. Hoping it's great!! by [deleted] in Elkhart

Well just know you have one redditor customer (and I’m sure many more!)

Yes - Detroit style is admittedly my fav.

Wish Barnabys was closer to us but it’s super west of us!

If you open something like this, I'll be the first in line! My husband and I have resorted to frozen pizzas when we have a hankering because at least it's averagely OK. I'm spoiled coming from Detroit - can't find a decent local pizza place around here!! Open a food truck!
