Ten acres. That’s how much room one family-run garden center gives its plants, and much of it is working greenhouse space. The hanging baskets here aren’t shipped in from somewhere far away. They’re grown right on site, along with flowers and vegetables. I like knowing a plant...
Severe storms are moving across Indiana and the Cincinnati Tri-State this evening, ahead of a cold front that will knock temperatures down by about 20 degrees overnight. The National Weather Service issued a severe thunderstorm watch until 11 p.m. Eastern for 28 counties in central Indiana, including Indianapolis, Carmel, Fishers and Terre Haute. The main threats are damaging wind gusts and hail, and forecasters say a brief tornado can’t be ruled out.
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

Few topics generate more controversy at local council meetings than a proposed apartment community. Residents frequently raise concerns about traffic, schools, crime, neighborhood character, and property values. Those concerns are disconnected from today's reality. With the election behind us, local leaders have an opportunity to turn their attention to the decisions that will shape their communities for years to come. Housing policy, in particular, will play a critical role in determining whether communities can attract new residents, support local businesses and remain economically competitive. The truth is simple: multifamily housing is not a threat to strong communities. It is one of the building blocks of them. In fact, a 2026 study by Indianapolis Metropolitan Planning Organization found that mid-rise apartments generated an average of $1.37 million in annual net municipal revenue per 10 acres across three Central Indiana communities, compared to just $8,710 for estate homes. The benefits extend to schools, where five rental housing types generated nearly $2 million in combined annual net revenue for a school district, while five ownership housing types produced a combined $213,597 deficit across equivalent development scenarios. Beyond public finances, higher-density housing provides the consistent customer base and foot traffic that local businesses need
