Good morning, this is Indianapolis Local Pulse for Thursday, August 28th, 2025.
We begin with breaking news: Metro Police arrested a suspect Tuesday after an Indiana State Police SUV was stolen, leading to a brief chase near South Elder Avenue and West Maryland Street on the near west side. Officers were able to recover the vehicle without injuries, and the driver is now in custody. In other public safety updates, law enforcement is still searching for a motorcyclist accused of shooting at a car with a baby inside. State Police have released photos and are asking for tips. Meanwhile, recent assaults along the Monon Trail have prompted increased patrols, so expect to see more officers as you head out for a walk or bike ride.
Turning to the weather, we wake up to a mix of sun and clouds with temperatures holding steady in the mid-70s across central Indiana. Right now, it is about 75 in Indianapolis. If you are planning a visit to Victory Field for tonight’s baseball game, you can expect comfortable conditions with light breezes and no rain in the forecast.
In city hall, Governor Mike Braun has not yet decided whether to call a special legislative session regarding congressional redistricting. Republican lawmakers are meeting to consider the possibility, and residents are watching closely as it could have a big impact on local representation.
On the jobs front, Network Indiana is reporting on a serious issue with wage theft—Indiana now ranks at the top nationwide for violations. This is prompting renewed debate about worker protections, and listeners across Indianapolis are encouraged to check their pay for accuracy, especially with so many workers depending on hourly wages.
In neighborhood news, we are seeing new business openings along Massachusetts Avenue, including a locally owned coffee shop and a tech startup promising a few dozen jobs over the next year. But with new business, there is also change—one prominent restaurant near Monument Circle closed its doors this week after two decades, citing rising costs.
On the housing market, local agents note that home prices in Marion County have held firm, with the median single-family price just above $275,000. Inventory is tight and competition remains brisk, especially in neighborhoods like Fountain Square and Broad Ripple.
As we look ahead, the city is gearing up for the annual Indy Jazz Fest at Garfield Park this weekend, featuring local musicians and food trucks. Saturday brings a family-friendly block party to the Near Eastside, with games, crafts, and live entertainment.
Switching to schools, activity is back in full swing as districts settle into the new year. One school district outside Indianapolis had to briefly go virtual this week due to school bus vandalism, but thanks to quick work by mechanics, classes have now resumed in person.
On a lighter note, congratulations to the Pike High School girls’ soccer team, who kicked off their season with a dramatic overtime win last night on their home field.
Finally, our feel-good story may bring a smile—a group of neighbors came together on North Delaware Street to repaint an aging mural, turning the work into a spontaneous block party that drew families and food trucks. The project not only brightened up the block, but also raised money for local art programs.
