À propos de cet audio
Turning to city hall, there’s significant movement on redistricting. According to Indiana Capital Chronicle, lawmakers spent much of Friday behind closed doors with Vice President JD Vance discussing a possible early redraw of district maps before the 2026 midterms. The talks remain unresolved, and protests heated up on the marble staircases of the Statehouse. It’s clear many Hoosiers oppose any rushed changes, but officials hint we could have a decision soon. The process—and debate—could affect our representation in Congress for years.
Now let’s look at our job market and local business scene. Across Marion and surrounding counties, about 2,200 new positions are posted this week, with growing demand in healthcare and logistics especially in the corridor near Washington Street and Keystone Avenue. In real estate, Indianapolis remains a seller’s market. Median home prices are holding steady near $270,000. Realtor groups say open houses on North Meridian and around Fountain Square are seeing brisk turnout, and investors continue to show interest in multifamily properties downtown.
For public safety, we need to mention two serious crashes from overnight. Metro Police report a fatal accident at 58th and North College Avenue early this morning—a silver car struck a truck, killing the driver and critically injuring a passenger. That car left the scene and detectives urge anyone with information to come forward. Another crash late last night closed down southbound I-65 near Southport Road, with at least one fatality confirmed. Officers are still investigating. Separately, a judge resentenced Elias Dorsey to 16 more years for the shooting of IMPD officer Brian Leith back in 2020, bringing closure for some in the department and the community.
Sports wise, it’s a great weekend for our local teams. The IU Indianapolis Jaguars women’s volleyball team notched their fifth straight win against Robert Morris in a five-set thriller, extending their hot streak. The Colts host a divisional showdown today at Lucas Oil, coming off a hard-fought road win and looking for another big performance. High school football saw Pike and Warren Central notch decisive victories on Friday, with both teams now eyeing playoff spots.
On the cultural front, there’s plenty to choose from. The Indianapolis Heartland Film Festival continues today with afternoon screenings at Newfields and the Kan-Kan Cinema, shining a spotlight on local filmmakers. Jazz fans will want to catch the Lincoln Park Quartet playing at Chatterbox this evening. Market-goers can head to Broad Ripple Farmers Market for pumpkins and autumn treats.
For our schools, shoutout to North Central High, where the robotics club just won top honors at the state competition for their innovative drone project. It’s great to see young talent thriving and bringing pride to our city.
To end on a feel-good note, we saw dozens gather yesterday near Monument Circle for the second annual Community Blanket Drive. Volunteers collected more than 800 blankets for local shelters, making a real impact as cooler weather settles in.
