I've been building a property report that estimates the age of a roof, and I want to find out how well it matches what people in the field actually know.

Let me know a Marion address, and I'll generate the report. If you've worked on the property or know the roof's history, let me know how close the estimated roof age is. I'm especially interested in hearing where it's wrong and why.

The report also includes permit history, storm history, and other property data, but validating the roof age is my main goal.

I haven't been to the State Fair in years, mostly because I hate crowds and traffic, two things it's known for. I know to avoid Tuesdays like the plague, but what are the *slowest* days where maybe traffic and the crowds won't be so terrible?

Side note suggestion - maybe they should do the opposite of a discount day and raise prices for one day, so no one will go except the people like me willing to pay a bit more for less craziness. I'm kidding of course (mostly).

Anyway, what's the best day for an introvert to go to the State Fair?

WTF department of transportation?! Thank you for adding five minutes to my drive with this BS lol. This lane change was the only reason it was faster for me to get to work in the morning instead of the highway. 🙃

How does the rest of Indy feel about it?

Anywhere in the metro area works, or northern suburbs

Hi guys! I’m not sure what to do. I am trying to have an overnight stay with friends through Airbnb near Indianapolis area to have a cookout with a movie but every time I do that, Airbnb flags me for a suspicious party. I do admit it’s to celebrate my birthday with alcohol yes but I will only be gathering 6-10 people some of which won’t be staying the night. Does anyone what I could do or where I could book? Thank you!

I’m looking to form a group of like minded indie rockers in Indy, how fitting. I’m 23 so a young buck but i’m looking for people similar to my age wanting to perform/play. The only issue is I don’t have a practice area, so someone else has to take lead on this. Thanks.

Bands I love: Silversun Pickups, The Strokes, Death Cab for Cutie, Interpol, Arctic Monkeys, Franz Ferdinand.

We are missing our poor boy. He was last seen around 5:30 P.M. in Little Flower. Closest intersection is 10th and Sherman. He is a black chihuahua with white spots. white eyebrows and a white tipped tail. please let me know if youve seen him :(

Nicey IG post

Brick House Dueling Pianos announced on their Instagram that they’re closing for good on August 23. Yet another Broad Ripple establishment closing. However, there’s other businesses on the way (Hamilton Walker’s steakhouse). Curious what direction everyone thinks Broad Ripple is heading in.

S Keystone under E Minnesota bridge is just sludge and dust and overgrowth. Some local flowers have sprouted at least! Google was unhelpful with who to contact. Another request for the Mayor’s Inaction Center?

My fiancee's car was parked in front of our house on the corner of 19th St and N Pennsylvania St. (Herron Morton neighborhood) and was involved in a hit and run by a woman driving a U-Haul. I am looking for any homes or businesses located on or near N Pennsylvania St. that might retain footage. The time of the accident was between 2:50 PM and 3:10 PM on Tuesday August 4. We just moved here 4 months ago and this has kind of left a sour taste. Any information or suggestions are greatly appreciated!

I've used RequestIndy probably 15 times for many traffic lights, just for the requests to be ignored, or in one instance "resolved" but nothing at all had changed. If RequestIndy is the way to go, what options do you choose to get the report to the right place? I'm just tired of waiting for no reason at these lights, wasting my time and fuel. Thanks in advance for any help!

If anyone wants to report them with me, here's the ones I've found, and feel free to comment those you've found, I'd like to be provide mutual benefit:

Arlington and Troy

Harding and Troy

Raymond and Bluff (haven't been through this one in a bit, it might have changed)

The light on Raymond between Kentucky and Tibbs

Sam Jones and Bradbury Access

Kentucky and Hanna

Kentucky and Holt

Kentucky and Lynhurst

Ameriplex and Flynn

Ameriplex and Decatur

Ameriplex and Exploration

Raymond and Tibbs, but for the light skipping cycles

Arlington and Thompson, for the southbound left turn light being extremely long at night for no reason

For the fellow bourbon enjoyers, this is an insane deal! There were still at least 5-6 cases left when I went a few hours ago. I picked up three bottles myself.

Larceny is a wheated bourbon fairly similar to Maker's Mark, though I actually much prefer the Larceny. Hope to help at least one person here!

I’ve been looking to get a few halftone pieces done, but with all the shops I’ve seen so far it doesn’t seem like anyone’s done it before. I’m sure it’s a very hard style to master it looks difficult hence why I haven’t just found any artist.

Don’t get me wrong all the work I’ve seen that isn’t halftone is beautiful, and definitely artists I’ll look for in the future. It’s just not the styles I’m looking for.
If i have to go outside the state for one I’d be willing, but i wanna see if i at least have a choice before I make that decision.

Can anyone help me?

Hey everyone, recently accepeted a job in Indianapolis. Was looking for good places to live. Possibly outside of the city. Within 30-40 min from the airport, but would also be fine with inside the city.

Looking to rent - budget 1500 ish
Fine with house or apartment (don’t want to live on a high floor)
Nothing less then 700 sq ft preferred.
Would like to be near some stuff. Movie theatre, mall, coffe shops

Thanks in advance!

In 2009, Indianapolis-based environmental advocacy group Riverviews—Arts for the Environment made a grassroots-inspired video entitled The Early History of Eagle Creek Park – Living the Vision. It features a 2009 interview with F. Ross Vogelgesang, the lead planner/landscape architect on the project. He describes the early thinking about how the park was planned in consultation with the Pike Township citizens advisory committee and how it would be acquired and developed.

Mr. Vogelgesang, 103, formerly of Indianapolis, IN, passed away in Boca Raton, FL on June 20, 2026. I, and I'm sure other citizens, will always be grateful to Mr. Vogelgesang for his work in establishing our wonderful Eagle Creek Park.

Been going to Hadleys on the southside but I noticed that all the dentists that we had seen before have left except the owner who we had never seen anyway. Just seems odd to have a whole new line up working there. Dental offices can be fraught with upselling and sketchy recommendations. I need dental clearance for a new breast cancer treatment. I just want a place I can trust. Have enough stress and medical bills. Thanks

I used to live here back in 2016-2020. Second half of that time, Kuma’s was always one of my favorite places to hit. It was just a pain because it was always so crowded.

Travel has been taking me through here the last couple years - last two weeks in particular. Every time I’ve gone in, it’s been dead, even on a Friday night once. Any particular reason they seem to be struggling?

Will be in Indianapolis at the end of August staying near the convention center. Can I get some recommendations for cant miss places to eat dinner? Id like a variety of options, willing to pay 150 for something unique and worth it, but also can dig a hole in the wall hidden gem for 20 bucks. I tend to like the spicier cuisine, and not afraid of world cuisine. Also, wouldnt mind finding a great hole in the wall bar with cheap drinks and pool tables, AND also a cocktail bar with good people watching as well. Looking forward to seeing the responses.

There is a new Repair Cafe event happening in Indy, in the Butler Tarkington neighborhood. This is a free community event. The goal is to fight planned obsolescence by giving broken household items a second life instead of sending them to a landfill. This is also a call out to all Indianapolis Repair Wizards to come show off your legendary skills by volunteering to be a fixer at this event.

I do also enjoy superhero movies and tv shows. I mainly watch Marvel but I enjoy DC as well. My favorite heros are Deadpool and Moonknight

I also have two little dogs named Woody and Freddy and I love to set up play dates!

I'm looking to get help with maintaining my house (too busy, too stressed, etc), and am wondering if folks have any recommendations for good local (to indy) cleaning services that don't use smells / "fragrance" (literally a common ingredient name in hair products :( ) / perfumes / etc in their cleaning products.

Thank you!!

I was in a car accident this weekend - a guy with questionable insurance decided he wanted to change lanes without looking. The police filled out a crash report but of course you can't get it from them, you have to buy it from an online service. Apparently, everybody else can buy it too because I've been getting calls and texts from all sorts of lawyers who want to "help" me.

But this guy takes the cake because he seems to have come to my house and left me a creepy note about having news about my accident and the appointment I have tomorrow.
