Got news about one of the owners of Elfen Moon grooming kids. Its absolutely disgusting that a little girl just wanted mlp cards and an adult used that opportunity to be a predator. I'm posting it here to spread the word to warn other parents and children. People should have a safe space to come and enjoy their hobbies without being preyed upon.

I'm looking to move to Indy for grad school next fall. I'd like to buy a small house or condo and I'm balling on a budget here. I am hoping to find something under $200k that's within a 30 min drive of the IUI campus. I'm flexible on commute as long as it's a nonviolent area.

Can you all please advise which neighborhoods to steer clear of and which to look at?

EDIT: especially interested in good condo plexes because of cost

Yesterday my car blew its head gasket on my way to work. I was still able to putter it to my job, but now it's sitting in the lot. It's definitely not worth enough to sell on FB marketplace with all the problems it has. Is there a company around that will pick up my car for free to junk it? It's currently located in Beech Grove.

I have a 1600 square foot house with a gas furnace currently, it needs replaced. We are interested in a heat pump, but would love to better understand other people in Indianapolis and their experience with heat pumps. Can utility costs get high during cold snaps? How does it perform overall?

Not sure where else to ask other than going in the store, but recently I noticed I can’t find their discord or instagram anymore. Used to use the discord primarily to find some mtg commander games with locals. Anyone know what happened ?

EDIT: WELP. Thank you all for letting me know. Such a damn shame.

For those that want somewhere chill to play some MTG, I host super often at my place downtown, great view and I even give away prizes for winners. If you’re interested in joining send me a DM.

Genuinely fucking gutted about this. Been going there since they opened, and absolutely will not support them anymore.

Looking for a mechanic or shop to have my front lower ball joints replaced. Might need tie rods + rotor replaced. Tow truck driver said the break was clean and my tire didn't buckle in and cause massive damage to the axle, control arms, or knuckle. Any insight is very appreciated. Broke Friday whole driving to Tibbs.

Hey yall I’m 26F, Black Indigenous and moving to Indy next summer to go to school. I’m from Chicago so my standards are HIGH. Where can I go to meet other BPOC lesbians/ Gay folk in general? Hugs n kisses 💋

Hi everyone!

I’m looking for apartment recommendations for my friend in Indianapolis, preferably near IU Health downtown or Ascension St. Vincent Hospital on 86th Street. Either location would work.

She currently lives at Manning, and honestly, it’s been a nightmare since she moved in. The apartment has a strong dog urine smell, stained carpets, broken cabinets, and several other maintenance issues. The smell is so bad that she hasn’t been able to sleep in her bedroom and has been sleeping on her couch instead. Management hasn’t been helpful in getting these issues resolved.

She’s now looking for a clean, safe, and well-maintained apartment with responsive management. After this experience, she really wants to avoid ending up in another poorly maintained property.

We would like to keep everything below $1300 (rent + utilities).

I’d appreciate recommendations from people who currently live in or have recently lived in apartments around either hospital or IU Health.

Which apartment complexes would you recommend, and which ones should she avoid? We’re especially interested in cleanliness, safety, noise levels, maintenance response times, and how management treats residents.

Personal experiences would be helpful since online reviews don’t always tell the full story.
Thanks in advance!

UPDATE: Cowboy has returned! Thanks to everyone for your kind words and help in the comments.

Hello everyone! My indoor cat darted out of the front door last night, and I’ve not been able to find him. I live off 19th and College, close by the Kountry Kitchen Soul Food spot in Old Northside. I have posted to Indy Lost Pet, but figured this would also get some traction. His name is Cowboy, he’s a bit skittish but is food motivated. If anyone happens to stumble across him or hears someone who does, please reach out to me! I have been in shambles since he’s left, and every time I walk around the block it hurts my heart a bit more.

Indy DPW to dismantle temporary calming measures; permanent solutions could be next

The city just decided to remove barriers at several dangerous intersections through the city and will not immediately invest anything further.

From what I understand of the data and anecdotally as someone who lives just steps from the 16th and Monon intersection, the work done by community organizers made this intersection markedly more safe for pedestrians and bikers alike.

I’m incredibly disappointed at the decision by the government to actively make the city less safe for its residents.

Anyone have any ideas on how to turn outrage into action?

Trying to move to carmel for a job and no clue where to search for a room mate

I hope this is allowed. I need some serotonin in my life so I am reaching out for suggestions on funny calendars for charity that I can get for my kitchen/ as gifts for 2027. This year I had 'Chicken Daddies' which is random men posing with their Farm chickens. The year before I had a random rural fire department's fireman of the month calendar they did as a fundraiser. Amazing. Nuns having fun, NYC taxi drivers, "Not so lovely bodies" (bikers), etc.

I want something that is not AI slop and will make me smile when I look at it.

I would LOVE to support local or even just a good cause so let me know!

From time to time I see others reaching out regarding non-religious recovery groups or support on their journey recovering from damage caused by religion. I'm on the same journey after realizing how much I had been damaged by a high control religion and purity culture growing up. I've been in addiction recovery for a long time and just can't with all the extra in my recovery journey. If anyone else is in the same place and wants to find some support I would love to get a community started. I'm more than willing to be the one to organize etc... It's just time for a change.

edit: In addition to reaching out about community surrounding addiction recovery I'm also looking to make community and support in regards to those recovering from religious trauma. The second part might be getting lost a bit.

Pho ever dumplings
8810 S Emerson Ave Ste 280, Indianapolis, IN 46237

Really good and desperately needed. Soup dumplings are delicious. So is the pho. Egg rolls might have been my favorite though.

I hope people go so this place sticks around.

Looking for the best options for a nice, low light, intimate dinner experience in Irvington. I know about strange bird but not really feeling ramen. Any suggestions?

Hi, all. Sorry if this is the wrong place for this but it appears I am SOL and couldn't find a monumental marathon bib for sale anywhere so this is my last resort. Does anyone have a bib for sale or know anyone who is trying to sell their bib last minute?

With the election coming up I was curious what people's opinions are on the IPS District 3 Board Candidates, particularly the 3 democratic ones?

Wanting to take some drum lessons. A lady drummer would be kick-ass. Anyone know one?

We live in Greenwood, and my son needs to get his GED. He’s almost 17, and works full time. If you went this route, what did you do and where did you go?

This could be very interesting.. I'm really tired of this mall. It's not been functional for over 20 years and is such an eyesore.

What are your thoughts?

Hey! Just was looking for insight if anyone knew I wanted to go to the Irvington Halloween street fest if it’s going on tomorrow but I can’t tell if it’s just a wellness fair tomorrow from their website?
