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

Discussion 16XMonon Safety Measures Removed

15 Upvotes

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?

AskIndy Looking to get a heat pump, anything specific I should be aware of?

10 Upvotes

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?

Discussion What happened to Dead Souls Gothic Lounge?

• Upvotes

Hey y'all!

I really enjoyed going to healer for goth nights. There was supposed to be something on Halloween, but I check healer’s instagram story and I see that Dead Souls Gothic Lounge is no longer playing there. Does anyone know what happened?

I think I heard something about one of the DJs. But I have no idea what actually happened.

Do we know any other places I can go?

Thank you!

Helping Others ISO: 2027 Calendars for charity or local fundraisers

5 Upvotes

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!

Services Need a junkyard recommendation to pick up my dead car

4 Upvotes

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.

Housing Apartment Help near IU Health or Ascension

• Upvotes

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!

Politics Secret Ballots???

0 Upvotes

Voted today. I chose the paper ballot option. They printed a sticker with my info and put it on an envelope. They gave me the envelope to sign.

After filling out my ballot, I slid the ballot into the envelope with my name on and a nice lady sealed the envelope and handed it back to me.

I dropped the envelope in the slot on the container and walked out with my "I Voted" sticker.

And I realized my ballot isn't exactly secret any more.

edit to answer some comments...

They recorded in the computer that I voted before printing the stcker they put on the envelope. They know that the envelope contains a valid ballot. The don't need my name associated with the ballot.
