Chilly Temps, Comic Book Buzz, Bike Lane Expansion, and Pacers Nail-Biter - Your Indianapolis Local Pulse
from Indianapolis Local Pulse · host Inception Point AI
Good morning, this is Indianapolis Local Pulse for March 18, 2025. We're waking up to a chilly start here in Indy, with temperatures in the low 40s. Bundle up if you're heading out early, but we'll see a nice warm-up to the mid-60s by this afternoon. Perfect weather for the outdoor events happening around town today. Speaking of events, comic book fans are still buzzing about the packed weekend downtown. Local businesses reported a significant boost in sales thanks to the influx of visitors. The owner of Mass Ave Comics told us his shop had its best weekend in years. In city news, the Indianapolis City-County Council approved a new initiative to expand bike lanes throughout downtown. Construction is set to begin next month, starting with Massachusetts Avenue. Drivers, be prepared for some temporary lane closures as work gets underway. On the education front, congratulations to the robotics team from North Central High School. They took first place at the state competition over the weekend and will be heading to the national finals next month in Chicago. We're rooting for you, Panthers! In sports, the Pacers squeaked out a nail-biter against the Bucks last night, winning 115-114. Tyrese Haliburton was the hero, sinking a clutch three-pointer in the final seconds. The team is back in action tomorrow night at Gainbridge Fieldhouse against the Celtics. We've got some positive news on the job front. The tech company TechIndy announced plans to add 200 new positions at their Keystone at the Crossing office over the next year. They'll be hosting a job fair next Tuesday at the Marriott North. In real estate, the average home price in Indy ticked up slightly last month to around $275,000. Realtors say inventory remains tight, especially in popular neighborhoods like Broad Ripple and Fountain Square. Now for our daily safety update. IMPD is investigating a shooting that occurred early this morning on the southwest side, near West Morris Street and Harding. One person was critically injured. Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers. On a brighter note, we want to give a shout-out to the volunteers at Gleaners Food Bank. They distributed over 10,000 meals to families in need last week. If you'd like to help, they're always looking for more volunteers, especially on weekdays. Looking ahead, don't forget about the St. Patrick's Day parade this Saturday. It kicks off at 11 AM on North Street and will wind its way through downtown. Expect some road closures and extra traffic, but it's always a fun time for the whole family. This has been Indianapolis Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
