  • Thousands Rally at Indy Statehouse, Airport Heliport Sold, Weather Woes at Indy 8 Hour

    Thousands Rally at Indy Statehouse, Airport Heliport Sold, Weather Woes at Indy 8 Hour
    Oct 19 2025
    Good morning, this is Indianapolis Local Pulse for Sunday, October 19th.

    We begin today with breaking news at the heart of our city. Thousands gathered at the Indiana Statehouse yesterday for the No Kings rally, part of a nationwide protest against the Trump administration’s efforts around redistricting and immigration. Indy’s protest saw crowds spilling onto the south lawn and organizers say at least six thousand joined in, with passionate speeches calling for government accountability and defending free speech. The event remained peaceful and was one of the largest demonstrations in Indianapolis this year. Many familiar organizations including Indivisible Central Indiana, ACLU Indiana, and Concerned Clergy of Indianapolis played key roles. A tense moment unfolded when a Trump supporter was escorted away after bringing a firearm onto Statehouse property, but there were no arrests and the day ended as planned.

    Let’s turn to City Hall, where the Indianapolis Airport Authority Board has unanimously approved selling the downtown heliport at 51 South New Jersey Street to the city for nearly eleven million dollars. This marks a major step toward redeveloping the site, with speculation that it could one day host a Major League Soccer stadium. For fans watching this saga, the city is moving forward, but state lawmakers haven’t yet created the special tax district needed to finance a stadium.

    Shifting to weather—we’ll want to keep an eye on the sky today. Forecasters call for a mostly dry start, but storms are likely to develop this afternoon, especially after three, as a front moves in. Expect temperatures to climb near eighty before the rain arrives and brings cooler air for the week ahead. Watch out for gusty winds and heavy rain, especially for those attending events or planning outdoor activities late today.

    Speaking of events, the Indianapolis 8 Hour at the Speedway wrapped up in dramatic fashion last night. Heavy storms cut the racing short, but in the end, Team WRT took home its third straight win, with racing legend Valentino Rossi helping clinch victory under challenging weather. Fans saw only two laps of green flag racing in the final four hours due to lightning, so it was a tense finish for everyone at the track.

    Over in the job market, workers at Horseshoe Casino in Shelbyville, just southeast of Indianapolis, are striking for union recognition. More than two hundred staffers have walked off the job, holding firm until casino owners allow a union vote. This action could ripple into Indy’s casino and gaming sectors in the days ahead.

    On the real estate front, optimism is building after the downtown heliport deal, with developers eyeing new possibilities for jobs and mixed-use projects in the Warehouse District.

    Turning to education, a shoutout to Lawrence North High School whose cross-country team just advanced to the semi-state round for the second year running. Great job to the student athletes and coaches—it’s an accomplishment to be proud of.

    On the community calendar, look for outdoor fall festivals and pumpkin patches scattered through Marion County this afternoon, though keep those umbrellas close. The Indianapolis Symphony continues its fall series tonight at Hilbert Circle Theatre, and a new family-owned bakery just opened on East 38th Street, bringing fresh-baked treats and jobs to the Martindale area.

    Now a brief but important crime report. Indianapolis Metro Police are investigating two major incidents in the past 24 hours. Friday night saw a tragic hit and run on I-65 resulting in the death of Ryan King; the suspect, Bajit Singh Gill, is in custody and faces multiple charges including reckless homicide, with his trial set for December. In Owen County, authorities are looking into a fatal crash along US 231—although it is southwest of our city, it has caused traffic delays for those headed out of town.

    For a feel-good note to close, volunteers from Keep Indianapolis Beautiful teamed up yesterday to plant over two thousand tulip bulbs in Garfield Park. Their efforts are set to bloom for everyone this spring, brightening up one of Indy’s favorite gathering spots.

  • Weekend Weather, Protests, and Local Business Updates - Indianapolis Local Pulse

    Weekend Weather, Protests, and Local Business Updates - Indianapolis Local Pulse
    Oct 18 2025
    Good morning, this is Indianapolis Local Pulse for Saturday, October eighteenth, twenty twenty-five. As we get our weekend started, we’re keeping a close eye on the weather. It’s a mild morning, temperatures rising from the low fifties, and we’ll climb into the low eighties this afternoon. Mostly cloudy skies will linger most of the day, and there’s about a twenty percent chance of scattered showers, so if you’re heading outside, keep an umbrella handy. There’s a stronger chance for storms and wind later this evening, so make sure you’ve got outdoor plans wrapped up by early evening.

    This morning downtown, crews are preparing for a series of “No Kings” protests, part of a nationwide day of action. Demonstrators are expected at Monument Circle and spots near the Statehouse, voicing opposition to congressional redistricting and the current administration. Organizers are urging nonviolence, and local leaders say extra officers are on hand to ensure safety for all. So, if you’re driving near the Circle or Capitol Avenue this afternoon, expect heavier than usual traffic and possible street closures.

    In city government news, a major development downtown: the Indianapolis Airport Authority approved the city’s purchase of the downtown heliport over on South New Jersey Street. City leaders say this move opens the door for new redevelopment options, with early discussions pointing to mixed-use projects—possibly even a new stadium for our growing soccer community. The deal is said to bring new jobs and investment into the Mile Square, and we’ll be following closely as public input sessions are set for next month.

    Meanwhile, over in the council chambers, debate continues over the settlement deal with AES Indiana. The latest compromise cuts a proposed utility rate hike by more than half, easing pressure on households for now. Still, some councilors and consumer advocates are pushing back, calling for further reductions and more transparency in future rate-setting decisions.

    On the business front, several new stores and restaurants have opened recently, especially north of ninety-sixth street. Big Sandy Superstore just opened in Plainfield, bringing new jobs in retail. Meanwhile, Birrieria Iturbidense introduced its creative birria-inspired menu to the neighborhood, and Windsor Jewelry welcomes customers back with a fresh redesign and Indiana-made collections. Job seekers may want to note that Amazon has announced hundreds of full-time, part-time, and seasonal positions locally as the holiday rush begins.

    In real estate, the market stays strong downtown, and there’s chatter about a significant property transfer up in Carmel, with the late Jim Irsay’s expansive estate officially changing hands.

    Turning to schools, congrats are in order for North Central High School’s marching band, who placed first in last night’s state regional competition. On the sports beat, the Pacers head west for a tough road stretch tonight, and the Colts are gearing up for a home game at Lucas Oil tomorrow afternoon.

    Public safety remains a top priority, especially with protests and storms expected today. Overnight, IMPD reported a quiet evening with only minor incidents. There are additional patrols downtown, and officials urge anyone attending rallies or large events to remain alert and report anything out of the ordinary.

    If you are looking for something fun, the annual Fall Harvest Festival at Garfield Park is happening today, offering food trucks, live music, and activities for kids. That’s a great way to meet neighbors and enjoy the cooler air before storms roll in.

    Finally, we want to share a feel-good moment. Shout out to a group of volunteers from Fletcher Place who spent yesterday afternoon cleaning trails along the Cultural Trail, just in time for marathon training season. Thanks to all who lend a hand to make Indy shine.

    Thank you for tuning in and don’t forget to subscribe for your daily updates. This has been Indianapolis Local Pulse. We’ll see you tomorrow with more local updates. This has been a Quiet Please production, for more check out quiet please dot ai.

  • Local News Roundup: Electric Rates, City Contracts, and Weekend Events

    Local News Roundup: Electric Rates, City Contracts, and Weekend Events
    Oct 17 2025
    Good morning, this is Indianapolis Local Pulse for Friday, October seventeenth, two thousand twenty-five. We start with breaking news: after months of heated debate, the city and AES Indiana have finally reached a settlement over the proposed electric rate hike. According to WTHR, our city leaders’ direct intervention means AES cannot raise your base electric bill before twenty-thirty. Listeners who were bracing for an extra twenty dollars a month can breathe easier—those increases won’t happen for at least five more years. Plus, the fixed monthly charges and city street lighting rates will stay at currently approved levels, saving taxpayers millions. But it’s not all applause. As Axios and the IndyStar report, some city councilors and consumer advocates are disappointed, saying the settlement doesn’t go far enough, and some wanted the city to take over AES entirely. The Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission has the final say, with public testimony deadlines coming up fast. For now, this is a major relief for local wallets, but the conversation about who controls our energy future is far from over.Shifting downtown, Mayor Joe Hogsett is under increasing pressure after a Mirror Indy and IndyStar investigation raised questions about conflicts of interest involving millions in city incentives. Southside Republican Councilor Michael-Paul Hart is the latest calling for Hogsett’s resignation, pointing to previous administration officials who benefited financially while overseeing major city deals. The mayor has not directly addressed the allegations, and some council Democrats say they want more details before taking sides. This story is still developing, and could have long-term effects on how city contracts and incentives are awarded on Washington Street and beyond.Meanwhile, inside City Hall, the Metropolitan Development Commission recently approved adding emergency shelter and storage uses to the zoning at Twenty Four Twenty North Tibbs Avenue, paving the way for the Noble of Indiana building to act as a winter overflow shelter and furniture distribution site for neighbors in need. Across the river, a temporary use permit for Twenty storage containers on West Julius Boulevard will help Six Stones Mission Network store and distribute toys ahead of the holiday season, a reminder of how small city decisions make a big difference in our daily lives.On the weather front, after a cool start this morning with temperatures in the low fifties, we’re looking at a mostly cloudy Friday with highs around seventy-three, according to WRTV. It’s a dry, pleasant day for fall festivals or outdoor errands, but keep an eye out—showers and even a few thunderstorms could roll in Saturday, with highs near eighty, and a much cooler, windy Sunday in the low sixties. That could impact weekend plans for the hundreds expected at the “No Kings” gatherings across the state on Saturday, including several here in Indianapolis. These events, according to the IndyStar, are being watched closely by both community organizers and public safety officials.Thinking about buying or selling a home? The city’s real estate market remains steady, with average listings hovering around two hundred forty thousand dollars, giving buyers plenty of options from Irvington to Broad Ripple. For those hunting for jobs, listings are up slightly on sites like Indeed, with openings in healthcare, logistics, and tech especially strong across the Monument Circle area.In culture, there’s no major new concert or music festival news, but small venues along Mass Ave and Fountain Square continue to draw local talent and crowds. Indianapolis Public Schools reported strong fall standardized test scores at several elementary schools, and high school football playoff matchups are set—expect packed stands at Franklin Central and Pike this weekend.On public safety, there are no major crime reports overnight in the downtown core, but IMPD reminds drivers on Keystone Avenue and 38th Street to watch for increased patrols due to recent distracted driving incidents. For our community spotlight, we want to recognize an Indy physician who is running the New York City Marathon this weekend to raise awareness for bleeding disorders—a reminder of the compassion and commitment that makes our city special.Finally, if you’re looking for something to do, check out the Emery Crossing Phase Five community meeting in Hutto if you’re on the northwest side, or explore local fall harvest markets downtown and in Garfield Park.This has been Indianapolis Local Pulse.
