Town or city? As you may know, you and your fellow voters will decide just that for Fishers on Nov. 6 during Election Day polling. We visited with town officials last week to get a “neutral” information download. We believe we received a fair representation of what City Yes! and Citizens to Reorganize are driving toward with their respective campaigns. [...]
The staff of the Fishers Parks and Recreation Dept. deserves to take a bow. Typically, these folks labor in relative obscurity, and they do a lot of heavy lifting behind the scenes to make sure a well-rounded program is presented to our town. The members of the department have worked hard to add programming, and they’re always helpful to the [...]
Now comes the Fourth of July, the wonderful celebration of our great nation’s independence. Indeed, Wednesday is an important day, and we urge you to celebrate it for all the right reasons. The day also brings an opportunity to revel in the spirit of community. With myriad festivals going on, there is no shortage of opportunities in which to partake [...]
Fishers, it’s time to get your Freedom Festival on! This year’s event runs Saturday and Sunday, and from what we hear around the town, this one is destined to be the biggest and the best thus far. Music, entertainment, kids’ activities and, of course, the Xfinity Main Parade, among other attractions, await all of us. With regard to the parade, [...]
With all due respect to business owners in the Keystone Parkway/96th Street area, the recent news of the state’s decision to not pursue a roundabout now will have ramifications for our region. For drivers from Zionsville on the west to Fishers on the east, and multiple points in between, the intersection has proved nothing short of a traffic-management disaster. We [...]
There’s a good deal to celebrate about Fishers these days, including two items in particular that, alternately, could enrich and already do enrich this great community. Consider, the town soon could have its own parks foundation. It very well could lead to parkland and green-space improvements, which only would add to the desirability of Fishers. Those sorts of amenities actually [...]
File this away in your memory bank, right in the folder labeled “Sick but true.” Earlier this week, an 8-year-old girl was playing on her family’s property near 136th Street and Brooks School Road, when a predator – that’s what he is, among other things – pulled up and tried to lure her into his car. The child’s mother saw [...]
Here’s a chance to start summer off on the right note or foot – or both! – before summer actually begins. The Center for the Performing Arts and its artistic director, Michael Feinstein, are at it again. An evening of elegance and history making is on the near horizon, and we’re excited to be able to support it. You may [...]
Back in January 2011, Current in Fishers was launched to provide local-local news and entertainment content to the town. Finally, Fishers had its own newspaper. So far, so good, we’ve been told by a number of folks. It wouldn’t have transpired the way it did without the yeoman efforts of its managing editor, Jordan Fischer. Jordan, a former Current intern, [...]
We have to admit we’re overly disappointed to recently have learned about the $206-million programming mistake at the state level, which shortchanged local governments. This comes on the heels of a $320-million error back in December. While we’ve not agreed with everything Gov. Mitch Daniels has done through the years, such as his increase in our state income tax, overall, [...]
