r/Indiana

I’ve read tons of interviews with him where he consistently bashes Lafayette. He left there for good in 1982 to go to L.A., & we all know the rest of his story afterward. Is Lafayette as stifling as it was back then? For context, I’m a lifelong northeasterner and IDK sh*t about Indiana or small town life.

Okay guys. Had horrible diarrhea since Monday night. Took an infectious diarrhea panel Thursday, and C Diff. Tested negative for everything. Guess that bug finally made its way to southern Indiana 😭

I didn’t grow up in Indiana, so I’m curious… did your family pass down any stories or memories about growing up here? I’d love to hear some local history that didn’t make it in the books. Or maybe some of your own memories if you grew up here.

Looking for the best beaches near Indiana to take a 6 year old solo.

Kid is a great swimmer, can dive 10 ft down.

We don't want to hike, camp, explore, etc...just go to the beach to swim and play in the sand.

Considering an ocean beach for the first time so I want his first ocean experience to be fun and magical, but it's a long travel with a high energy kiddo, so going to try a closer Lake beach first to do a trial run.

Goals

* Clear water

* Soft sand

* Close parking (on/right next to beach)

* Easy/short walk to beach, bringing wagon/sled with toys

* Close bathrooms (on/right next to beach)

* Budget friendly (important for ocean beaches)

* Clean/beautiful beaches

Some I've considered:

Ocean beaches

* Pensacola (reef nearby for snorkeling, soft sand, slide on beach)

* Grommet Island Park (playground on beach)

Lake beaches

* Warren Dunes (have heard it's less busy, willing to do a longer drive for clearer water and less busy beach)

* Indiana Dunes (closest drive, not sure which beach has the softest, cleanest, least busy area for sand/water play)

- Which beach would actually be best/most beautiful with most ocean like experience?

Need a very short walk to car with bathrooms on beach.

I'm looking for any information on the company named in my title. They are the developers of the data center going in at I-65 and US Hwy 24 in Wolcott. I cannot find any information regarding this company. There's a single webpage that hasn't been updated since 2020, but it doesn't go anywhere.

I want to know where it was incorporated, what the Articles of Incorporation say, who is listed as principal owners, what politicians they've donated to (3 degrees of separation), and why they won't answer any questions from community members. Everything has been presented as a fait accompli, as if the people who live here don't factor into any of their metrics.

Can anyone help?

I’m from Illinois and our roads are good other than the country backroads

BREAKING: a source tells me a dog has died and another rescued from a hot car parked at a Cicero restaurant.

I am told a Rottweiler passed away and a doodle mix was rushed to the VCA in Fishers. A woman I talked to at the VCA said their ER department said they are not allowed to comment on any dogs that might be in their care.

The police dispatch supervisor told me they did rescue a dog, but no other information was available. I was told I could email the public information officer.

I called the manager of the restaurant, Boathouse Kitchen and Swan Dive, she told me they had no comment but was clearly crying and heartbroken.

My source says a woman was arrested but I have not confirmed that.

Randy Pinkston was there and told me, “The 2 dogs were left in a vehicle for an hour while they were in The Boathouse. They said they left the a/c on in the vehicle. Obviously irresponsible as the car will turn itself off after a short while when the car gets hot. Both dogs were completely unresponsive. On the scene I was told Cicero PD was detaining and issuing citations. It was honestly one of the most irresponsible things I have ever witnessed. The Boathouse allows you to bring your dog on the patio, if you absolutely must stop for drinks on a 95 degree day with your dogs. I am devastated at the loss. The entire staff did everything reasonable trying to assist in the effort to save these poor dogs.”

Small rant here, but if you steal at all you’re a bad person. If you steal a solar powered fan that is charging at a remote canoe campsite from two paddlers and a dog during a HEAT WAVE, you might be one of the worst people on earth. If you’re reading this, I hope that thing breaks, that your pillow is always warm, and that you stub your pinky toe on every single corner. End of rant.

Goshen Indiana has just implemented a DORA program, (Designated Outdoor Refreshment Area), which during events allows for alcoholic beverages to be carried outside, and into other establishments. Apparently one restaurant (Biebs & Ash) was told they can't be allowed to participate, because a nearby church, that wouldn't even be open, and doesn't face the downtown, said no.

**The fact that the churches by law had to grant permission is beyond silly, and this is a beloved local business. This was their statement from FB ( I wasn't allowed to link it here)**

**That being said, as with all alcohol based permits, they are required to obtain approval from local churches and schools if they’re within a certain distance of participating establishments. Unfortunately for us, Life Spring Community Church, located just behind us, has denied everyone on our block’s ability to participate.**

**You will not be permitted to take your drink out of our establishment or bring in your DORA approved drinks at any time. We realize this is frustrating, as it is for us too, and apologize for the inconvenience.**

Religion ruins everything.
