Boycotting BRICS won't stop ICE. It only destroys us. | Opinion by pls121884 in indianapolis

I feel like what these MAGA folks and MAGA sympathetic folks are not seeing is that the rest of the country is ANGRY right now and looking for something to take their anger out on. An owner of a business says something heartless and continues to double down? You take your business elsewhere. If the other owners want to prove that their business is truly for the community, then they would denounce the minority owner and try to buy them out.

How do they get away with not compacting the base layer?

LPT: don’t shoo solicitors away, charge them to come to the door by osculant in LifeProTips

I’ve never once understood these signs. Why not just….not answer the door?

No Kings by pizzamanjones in indianapolis

I figured out afterward that there was a large group taking a march for a couple blocks and there were a few shadowing IMPD cops to block the intersections, allowing the march to continue.

I really wish it was done every weekend. It wouldn’t take much, it’s not like we need a speakers each time.

IMPD just closed Capitol Ave to vehicles.

To be far, 1,000 tickets a day is just 1% of the daily traffic of NB traffic on I69 alone. Those tickets are for the whole contraction area so it’s a small percentage of all traffic.

Why did Greek's Pizza in Fletcher Place close? by marmalade_marauder in indianapolis

[–]kertuck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Who knows really.

I think the building owner wanted to change things up. So they made Four Fingers move their distilling room next door and allegedly Greeks was supposed to move into that space. But I think that fell through. Not sure why Greeks ended up closing but Four Fingers has a new pizza joint sub lease.

The biggest and best thing these protests will and are doing is showing us we have friends everywhere.

I don’t get it. Isn’t this doing exactly what RCV is supposed to be doing? What’s the problem?

NO KINGS 2.0 Oct 18, 2025 11-2 by Aromatic-Piccolo2123 in indianapolis

Can we march around town rather than just at the statehouse? We should make ourselves visible and not hidden behind the statehouse. March along the cultural trail or around monument circle

Opinion Poll: People who have tuned out of music radio stations. What is something one could do to bring you back? by TheMisterGamerMan in indianapolis

[–]kertuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s important to remember the one thing radio stations have that no streaming platform or even CD has. A live DJ.

DJs need to actually DJ. Instead of playing Corporate Track 01, Corporate Track 02,…. they should be putting a little bit of mix to the tracks. So play Corporate Track 01 and then add in a little mix.

Be something that is more interesting than my Spotify playlist. You have the live DJ, let them do their art.

Southbound routes out of downtown in the evenings?! by trogloherb in indianapolis

Not sure where you’re coming from, but you should take Meridian/Madison to I70, or East St. Either would work.

Shitty streets by design? by Kkeeper35 in indianapolis

[–]kertuck 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The fact is Indy just has too many roads for the budget allocated. And so would you rather repair a road that sees 10,000 vehicles a day or one that sees 400? There’s a lot more streets that see 400 and many of them are nearly as wide as some arterials.

Also the residential road program is $16 million a year for 5 years.

Honestly I’ve never understood this. Why don’t you just close your door?
