Major Bloomington properties tied to Jeff Jones sell for $9.5 million

Two major properties formerly owned by notorious Bloomington landlord Jeff Jones have changed ownership for a combined $9.5 million. A Bloomington-based limited liability company called Magnolia Park, owned by Bloomington residents Narayan and Veronica Silwal, has bought former Jones properties on the city's west and northeastern sides. Transactions in October included the 54-unit Shamrock Pointe apartment complex on McCracken Way, in northeastern Bloomington, and the commercial/residential property at 3939 W. Roll Ave., on the city’s west side, where Jones had based his company, Pendragon Properties, which dates back to the 1980s. Magnolia Park LLC bought the Shamrock complex for $7.5 million and the west side property for $2 million, according to local property records. Magnolia Park was formed in August, roughly two months before the acquisitions closed, according to state records. Before the purchases, the Silwals’ known Monroe County real-estate holdings consisted primarily of condominiums on South Cramer Circle, in Batchelor Heights. Jones, who last year agreed to sell his Bloomington rental properties as part of a settlement with the city, has had disputes with city officials for years. In August and September 2018, city inspectors documented more than 1,800 violations at three of Jones’ Bloomington apartment complexes. A few

Senior seldomly comes off field for Bloomington South football

BLOOMINGTON — Jonathan Winstead got a late break on the football season. Luckily for Bloomington South, the senior gets up to speed rather quickly. The excuse was a good one, as Winstead patrolled center field for the Panthers' state runner-up baseball team, which finished its season at Victory Field on June 20. He had to wash the bad taste of that loss out of his mouth, then got to work earning his spot on offense as a returning wide receiver. But instead of backing up the quarterback position again, head coach Gabe Johnson decided one of his best ballhawks could help out on the defensive side as well. His speed also worked well as a return man on punts. "I love it. I don't want to be off the field," Winstead said. "I would play every single play if I could. But the thing is, we've got depth and we've got other guys who deserve to be out here. They work hard for their reps, too. "So it's nice to have that depth so I can take step back and know that Kevin (Reeves) at cornerback has my back and when I'm on offense, Mayson (Lewis) is at X and

Bloomington, Indiana, Bans Superintelligent AI, Hoping 350 Other Cities Will Follow (opinion)

Amid the nationwide backlash to AI via data center bans, one Indiana town has moved to prohibit "artificial super intelligence" (ASI). Last week, the Bloomington City Council voted unanimously to pass an ordinance that "prohibits the distribution and deployment" of ASI. The ordinance, which was backed by the Safe AI Forever Institute, defines ASI as a "system or entity capable of significantly outperforming humans on essentially all cognitive tasks" that can operate without "continuous human oversight." Covered models are prohibited from being activated by any user interface within the borders of Bloomington, regardless of where the underlying developer is located. Students at nearby Indiana University won't be booted off of ChatGPT just yet, as the city is yet to designate any models "superintelligent."

Indiana-Syracuse basketball draws just 5K fans. 'Depressing'

Indiana and Syracuse are brand names in men's college basketball — and a rematch of the 1987 national championship game. Both teams entered Monday's game in Indianapolis unbeaten, marking the first power conference game for each school in the early portion of the 2026-27 season. And it was in a nearly empty Gainbridge Fieldhouse. In-depth: Scrutinized Syracuse-Indiana attendance shows college sports misses most valuable point Week 1’s biggest winners, losers: College basketball wasted no time getting wild The home to the Indiana Pacers has a capacity of 17,274. Monday's attendance was listed at 5,047. And that may have even been generous. Indiana has more than 20 high school gyms that could have fit that many fans, with spare change . In 49 states it's just basketball... Crowd at tipoff here at Gainbridge Fieldhouse pic.twitter.com/5yJI3C1I0f — Michael Niziolek (@michaelniziolek) November 9, 2026 There are plenty of reasons for the light crowd: Indiana has missed seven of the past nine NCAA tournaments. Syracuse has missed five straight. So it's not exactly a marquee product. Some will point to the 6:30 p.m. Monday tip time as a deterrent. Really the ticket prices were likely the main culprit with second level seats going for
