Y'all idk what to do. We just moved. Thursday morning my car got impounded, got it out. Tried to park it behind our house until some guy got pissed and threatened to tow us.

We parked it in the grass right in front of our garage (it's boarded up and my rental company is saying they're gonna get it fixed)

Yesterday morning we came out to our tire slashed.

We are on the side of the road replacing our tire, and the neighbor walked passed and said "you trying to get another tire fucked up again?" And spit at the car.

I don't want to get cops involved at all.

What do I do?

I’m trying to catch some ladybugs to handle a small aphid infestation, but it occurred to me that I haven’t seen a single ladybug all year.

Does anybody remember seeing any ladybugs in the past few weeks? Preferably near downtown, but willing to drive.

How do you feel about a private company being able to put up cameras and track your movements. Then all cameras are linked to a big database law enforcement has access to and have been abusing. Did anybody vote on this?

I'm wondering if anyone was listening to the police scanner this morning, July 5th, from roughly 3 to 5 am. I was falling asleep, but I distinctly heard a female dispatcher speak to a male officer, trying to explain a situation involving a four year old. I heard two exchanges about this, but I only remember the details below from the first one. I heard the second one around 5 am and then was asleep after.

In the first exchange, the dispatcher said she (or someone) was on the phone with the Lawrence, Ohio (I definitely heard Ohio) police about a four year old being shown (sleeping maybe?) on a live stream, but he wasn't breathing well and there didn't seem to be any adult with him.

If anyone heard any resolution to this, could you tell me? I couldn't stay awake anymore but I really hated hearing that call.

Hey guys so I had a friend that was arrested and obviously we were calling to get information to different lines but then an hour or two after we had gotten all the info I got a call from a Private number and they were saying they were calling from the Marion county sheriffs office. They were giving us a bunch of his info and saying how we would have to pay $1200 in bail money to pay for an ankle monitor and then his bail which made sense to me in the moment and then he said it would have to be through cash app or apple pay which is when i started seeing red flags lol. After double checking the Marion county site and calling his bluff he kept arguing that it was real so i hung up.

Just wanted to put this out there as a warning because it was crazy with the info they had because he had only been arrested for 3 hours yet they knew his full name, address, where he worked, car make/model he was driving when arrested, and then they also called his mother’s phone number after i hung up and refused to answer after they called 6 more times and she then called me asking what was going on.

I’m not even one of those no fireworks people, but cmon…I have a newborn and am already sleep deprived. As soon as I think they’re done and can close my eyes…BAM. It’s almost 2 am. Have basic decency. At least cluster them all together and get them out of your system rather than dragging it out for hours on end. Makes me want to drive around the block at 6 am blasting music for these people, because it’s only once a year so why should you care?

...your fuckin fireworks to be fully illegal or SO expensive. My uncle has PTSD, my dogs are shaking even with the meds and thundershirts. The outdoor cats are huddled between my neighbors garage, and my own. My indoor cats are hissing or totally MIA in the house.

Last year my friend with her NEWBORN got no sleep for almost 2 days (before getting a hotel room in downtown) cause you fucks can't just take fireworks for a couple short hours. Today I heard them start around noon. Are you serious?

We have drones now, drone shows are so much cooler and look so much better. We are beyond fireworks and the hazards and psychological damage they cause. Every year, I'm seeing more and more people becoming so sick of it all. And especially when they're in tight residential areas (Tuxedo Park does NOT need a firework show, or 10)

I hope the rain comes and washes all your shit away.

Just looking for any kind of anecdotes that can help me picture what downtown was like back then, I've been writing a short story for fun that I decided to set primarily on Mass Ave bc it's my favorite place to hang out but it ended up having to be set in 2002 and I don't have many clear memories of Indy from when I was a kid.

In particular I started with trying to find out what used to be at 448 where the Moar Tea is now, across from Chatterbox and the Old National Center, I've already gone on a bit of a news article deep dive with a friend and we weren't able to find anything about the address prior to the Hoaglin Cafe, which didn't open until 2004 after the story would've already ended </3

I figured my best bet now is to just try asking people who might've lived here back then. I'd be very interested in any information about what Mass Ave was like in that era and how it's changed. Thank you :)

I was working downtown and witnessed the mass shooting on Illinois last year. Watched a 16 year old kid die. Not really thrilled to be downtown again this year. Last night somebody threw a firework at my car on the street from the top of the garage at Meridian and Pearl. I kinda hate this holiday now... why is it like this? Be safe out there today.

We went to the county fair yesterday and were told that we weren’t allowed to bring water inside, even though there was a heat advisory. I just think that’s ridiculous.

If you have kids you’re allowed to bring water. But not if you’re all adults 😒 Just FYI if you are planning on going.

Anybody know why all the Castleton 14 showings are getting canceled yesterday, today, and tomorrow? Wasn’t sure if it was an AC issue, holiday staffing issue, or something more serious.

TLDR I project long form visuals over the bands/djs and audience, each has a different theme, genre, and a different narrative and it's all meant to be a seamless experience with no downtime.

I am really into trivia and trivial pursuit. I don’t like having to go to bars for it, or the attitude around trivia at bars - it’s too casual for what I want. Are there any groups in the area that could scratch that itch for me?

My AC unit stopped working today. I know I'm not going to get it fixed on a holiday, but I'd love to get it fixed asap. Who has the best prices and isn't going to try to upsell me on buying a new unit? (every time I have any type of repair people come out they give me the hard sell and I'm tired of it)
