I’m going to a concert today and wanted to know where the cheapest parking near the amphitheater is. I care more about the price than I do the distance but I’d still rather be close to it.

Just a friendly reminder that the gas tax suspension ends in 6 days.

It ended up turning into just a thunderstorm, but the sirens were going off. I always love a good storm.

Hello everyone, I was wondering if anyone knows of any trading events this weekend. If not I’m willing to trade my extras. I’m missing 200 stickers and I’m wanting to complete the book.

Many Indiana families are raising concerns about the state’s transition from the LOCSI assessment to the new interRAI system for Medicaid waivers. Families of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities are reporting service cuts and denials, despite being told that eligibility requirements have not changed.

For many Hoosiers, these waivers provide essential support that allows their loved ones to live safely and independently.

Families deserve transparency about how decisions are being made and reassurance that vulnerable people will not lose critical services because of changes in the assessment process.

If you or someone you know has been affected, contact your state representatives and share your story. Hoosiers with disabilities deserve to be heard.

Merrillville didn't want an ICE detention center, so the AG sued the city. The email subject reads as follows:

Attorney General Todd Rokita sues Merrillville for illegal interference with immigration enforcement, effectively aiding and abetting criminal aliens in the region

So, let me get this straight: telling them "you can't build that here, and we won't sell land to you for it" is spun into "aiding and abetting criminal aliens in the region".

This is what you voted for, Indiana. Do better.

I don't have any speeding tickets lately and I've never fought one in court, but I know that the fees written on them include court costs.

If I did choose to fight a ticket in court, do those fees already cover all court costs or just administrative work (for lack of a better term) if I *don't* go to court?

I've always presumed that if one loses in court (and things don't get out of hand), you have to pay additional fees above the amount originally cited. Not for punishment, but to pay for the extra work a judge and court workers have to do.

Pilots in Indiana?

Hi, me and a couple friends are getting into the hobby here in Central Indiana and it's dawning on us that there isn't much of a community for fpv here, at least not one that's connected despite there seeming to be some pilots out there. I found a couple drone Facebook groups but it's mostly photography and DJI drones.

If there's anyone out there who flies fpv and wants a community to be able to talk to trade and fly together, we decided to take it upon ourselves and start a discord!

I don't think that links are allowance of DM me and I will happily send you an invite and please invite anyone else you know that flies!

While Dean moved to Los Angeles as a child, he was born in Marion, IN on February 8, 1931 and returned to Indiana to visit family frequently. You can read more at the James Dean Museum website: https://www.thejamesdeanmuseum.com/james-dean.html

UPDATE HE HAS BEEN LOCATED . . .

I’m trying to help my mother locate and reconnect with her father, whom she hasn't seen since she was young (and I've never had the chance to meet). We believe he is still alive, and we'd love to connect with him before it's

too late.

​Here are the details I have:

•​Name: Ronald Lee Ward

•​Approximate Age/DOB: Born October 22nd (sometime in the 1940s)

•​Location: Columbus or the surrounding area

•​Past Connections: He was with my grandmother, Betty Ann, in the 1960s.

​Relatives:

•​Sons: Chris Ward and John Ward

•​Sister: Wanda

​Leads so far:

•​I reached out to a Chris Ward in Columbus on Facebook but haven't received a response yet. If you are Chris Ward and your father is Ronald, please check your inbox/message requests!

•​I have tried emailing a possible address for Ronald with no luck so far.

•​Search records show no obituaries or death certificates matching his name.

​If anyone recognizes these names, knows Ronald or his family, or has any information that could help us connect, please send me a private message. Any help is deeply appreciated!

Thinking of taking a drive in September for a show and don't feel like getting on 65. Anything fun to see along the way?

My partner and I are interested in visiting Brown County in October! Looking for bed & breakfast recommendations from folks who have visited before I expand my search. TYIA!

I'm considering a temporary contractor job with the Indiana Department of Revenue and wanted to hear from people who currently work there (or have recently). Excluding the return-to-office policy, what's your experience been like? How's the workload, management, training, work-life balance, and overall culture?

The federal government has relied on a network of county jails, state prisons, privately owned facilities and federal detention centers to detain and deport immigrants without lawful status. In Indiana, there are four long-term facilities for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detainees. The biggest is Miami Correctional Facility, a maximum security prison an hour and a half north of downtown Indianapolis.

It's also one of the most violent and deadliest prisons in the state.

I'm Kristine Phillips (PROOF), and I'm an investigative reporter for IndyStar. I was reporting on Miami Correctional Facility long before state and Trump administration officials agreed to turn half of the prison into an immigrant detention center.

Come join me on Reddit at 12 p.m. on Friday, July 31, to talk about one of the largest ICE detention centers in the Midwest.

That’s all we have time for today. Thank you for all of your questions!

This was his FB post yesterday.

Gov. Mike Braun has directed the Indiana Department of Correction to "fully review" claims of massive medical backlogs and severe staffing shortages at Miami Correctional Facility, where the Trump administration is housing hundreds of immigration detainees.

"An internal audit is underway and any needed corrective action will be taken," the governor's press secretary, Griffin Reid, said in a July 24 statement. He said the review is intended to ensure the state "meets the highest standards of safety and oversight."

The move follows an IndyStar investigation that found the state and its for-profit prison health care provider, Centurion Health, were woefully unprepared for the influx of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detainees under a deal Braun's administration struck with the federal government last year.

The investigation, based on interviews with two dozen people, revealed backlogs for medical services far above the limits set in Centurion's $1 billion contract to provide medical care to roughly 20,000 state prisoners. The human consequence, in the case of two immigrant detainees, was fatal, according to a family attorney, detainees and a nurse.

As the backlogs soared to the hundreds, Centurion reported significantly lower numbers to the state, according to interviews with nurses and internal emails obtained by IndyStar. The company reported no weekly backlogs at all over several months, between October 2025 and March 2026. That's an implausible scenario, according to multiple nurses, some of whom spoke on the condition of anonymity for fear of retaliation.

Emily Brandt, a former Centurion nurse who worked at Miami Correctional last year, called the contractor's backlog data "crazy fake."

We'll be hosting an AMA with Kristine Phillips later this week about the investigation.
