As a concerned parent, I emailed and called all the candidates that are running for School Board for Carmel schools. I listened to their ideas on education and took many notes. Because the school board is a non-partisan position, I was interested where their views fell on the political spectrum. After doing my research, for myself, I put the candidates in these categories.

Dina Ferchmin - Christian Nationalist Jon Shapiro - Moderate Kris Wheeler - Moderate Robin Clark - Christian Nationalist

This is my own research. I would very much like to hear from other parents on what they've learned too. Our children are our most valuable resource.

How long did you have to wait to get a membership to the Central Park dog park?

Does anyone know when the Japanese garden will reopen? I stopped by over the summer and it appeared to be under construction.

Hey everybody! Jacob Pyle here again. Just wanted to post on here about needing guests for the Jacob Pyle Show. We will be taking in person guests as well as virtual guests. Only thing I ask is that if the interview is going to be virtual it be done via Skype. I know it's an inconvenience for some of you but it's a bigger help for me in the long run as far as recording guests feeds and everything. The episodes will still be taped at the Fishers branch Hamilton East Public Library. I'm available to tape episodes Mondays and Wednesdays between 4pm and 7pm so if there is anyone interested in being a guest on my show let me know. Included is a most recent episode with my guest Joey Barronton: https://youtu.be/5UX3thxSm_I?si=uY1aqqWrmVvtx-3t

i’m curious if anyone knows of volunteer opportunities working with French-speaking immigrants in the Carmel or surrounding areas?

Hi, I'm coming from out of state and moving to Carmel next week and I was looking for recommendations for a good gym or Mix Martial Arts gym to join. Im trying to get fit and prefer group workouts, so a place that holds classes throughout the week would be nice.

I would also like to know if there are places I should avoid

More info about me, im a girl in my mid 20s and I dont have a budget for this yet, as I'm not to familiar with membership cost.

Thank you in advance for the recommendations!

at JA JobSpark, a job event held at the Indiana State Fairgrounds, there were 5-8 fights, multiple gun and knife threats, people were tased, and multiple people literally got put in handcuffs. i'm surprised how there's no media coverage and transparency between IMPD and JobSpark, as I literally saw some police or security without bodycams? this all occured on day 1, and on day 2, there were more fights, which made the organizers cancel day 3.

i addressed this on the organizer's instagram post, by commenting, and they deleted my comment and blocked my account. i'm extremely upset at the lack of transparency between JA, IMPD, and the school districts in attendance. we were all told that there were no weapons involved, but I can confirm that there was at least one knife and a probable firearm.

i'm aware that multiple schools in hamilton county were in attendance so i js wanted to bring it up

I was visiting a few weeks ago and stopped by Naf Naf on Pennsylvania St for some tasty middle eastern food and had some issues with the app and as a result they sent me a free bowl that expires on 10/13. I won’t likely be near a Naf Naf anytime soon to use it so figured I’d offer it up to someone in need.

DM me and I’ll bless you with a free meal.

Anyone heard anything on this? It's been "any day now" for almost a year. I can assume only that it's related to some combination of insurance, supply chain, and construction labor, but yikes.

I feel bad for them; I'm sure they want to be open. Their social media isn't terribly forthcoming.

We (spouse and I w/ 3 kids under 6) are currently "house-sitting" for my in-laws, but will be leaving this home in a little bit and trying to find a new place to live. We have Indiana ties and were looking at potentially moving to Carmel or the surrounding suburbs.

I'm curious what Carmel is like as a "family" neighborhood? What is the community like? Rec and wellness centers? Safety? Public schooling?

Overall, is it a decent place to raise a family?

We are from Carmel and looking for gigs in and around Carmel. https://youtube.com/@agesband?si=HAQB1OissG5enwSW

21M, moved to Indy recently, and looking for people to hang out with. I was planning on going to Devara next week, and was wondering if anyone would be interested. DM me if you're down to go.

Hello!

I am creating a D&D campaign with a murder mystery fantasy 1980's theme. I have two players currently, and I'm looking to recruit one or two more people. I have hosted a few campaigns before, and while I have a few props and would be able to provide dice to roll during sessions, I am not a high-end professional by any means. Just meeting to have fun with friends :)

We would be meeting every other Saturday, so if that is something that will very likely clash with your regular schedule, please don't apply. This campaign will be very beginner friendly; one player has been in one campaign before and it will be the first one for the other. If you don't know how to play, it'll be alright! We'll be there to help you out. We are adults and would prefer other adults as well. There will be no NSFW content.

Feel free to comment or message me directly!

I’m going to be in Carmel next month and I need to find a gym I can lift in. The big corporate gyms usually don’t have what I need so I’m wondering if there are any little hole in the wall or independant gyms that may be good. Thank you. 😊

Hello! Moving to the area in a few months and am curious what your energy bills look like in mild temp times and then summer & winter? we are moving into a 4-5k sq ft home.

Are there any places/parks/lake-fronts for Night drive in to enjoy nature and relax (safely)

A little Carmel history for you!

I’ve always loved reading, learning and listening to stories about history for as long as I can remember. I’m lucky I work in an industry that runs parallel to this passion of mine and allows me to glimpse into the past often as part of my job.

I am currently working on a transaction in the City and I was perusing the Surveyors Office resources online and found this platform of Bethlehem, Indiana. It wouldn’t be until 8 years later that the town voted to change the name to Carmel and another 11 years until the first Carmel High School was built!

Part of the enjoyment of studying real estate title history of an area is you come across all these family names from generations ago that you then see reflected in our Streets, Avenues and neighborhoods. It gives a connection to the past that I find comforting and inspiring. As Howard Zinn said, “If you do t know ow history, it’s as if you were born yesterday.”

Planning to move to Carmel (rent). Had a tour of a house by the General Property Management LLC. Any reviews about what kind of group they're? I saw some bad Google reviews but wanted to know from others as well.

Edit: The house looks superb. The reviews have put me off a bit and I am reconsidering.

• Hi! Looking to move soon and trying to find the best neighborhood for my almost 9 year old in 3rd grade. Looking for a great elementary school and neighborhood to move to. Thanks so much!!!

… Radar shows no weather, weekly test is Friday’s at 11:00 (occurred today). Anyone know?

UFC 306 taking place in the Sphere is going to be a great event (hopefully)! Any bars in and around Carmel that screen the main event? I am new to the area so I have no idea about the busy or under the radar spots. Would love to know about both.

As the title, what is the route for the Carmel branch BMV driving test?
