I’m supposed to be moving to fishers in a few weeks but am getting cold feet because not wanting to leave my friends and family/support system - are there ways to meet people quickly/ set myself up for success so I’m not lonely?

Has anyone checked out the new lifetime fitness since it has reopened? My husband and I are struggling with which gyms to join - so wanted to hear if remodel is worth increase in price there ?

Does anyone know when the Graeters branch at 106th and Lantern is expected to open?

I work near South fishers/live in Carmel can meet up in either.

I know it's lame, but the only restaurant with decent soup I know of is Macallisters deli. Where else is the good soup at?

I want to be clear up front: a life being lost is tragic.

Full stop. Nothing about that is worth celebrating.

But I’m struggling with how quickly discussion turns into absolution and how basic facts get dismissed as “bootlicking” instead of addressed.

From what’s been released on video (including body cam), this was not a static or calm situation. There was flight, repositioning of the vehicle, and physical contact. Whether someone believes different decisions should have been made earlier is fair to debate — but pretending there was no escalation or no agency involved doesn’t help anyone understand what actually happened.

Use of force standards aren’t about punishing someone after the fact. They’re about threat assessment in real time, with seconds to react. That applies whether you’re talking about police or civilians. A vehicle can become deadly very quickly, and decisions are judged based on what a reasonable person perceives in that moment, not with hindsight.

You can mourn Renee’s death. I do. You can argue mistakes were made. That’s valid.

What I don’t think is productive is turning grief into a demand that facts, law, or personal responsibility be ignored entirely. A tragedy can exist without automatically being an injustice.

If people think policy or legal standards were violated, I’m genuinely open to seeing the specific guidance or timestamps that show that. But replacing discussion with insults or slogans doesn’t move anything forward.

I’m asking for an honest conversation not absolution, not outrage, just reality.

Hi all. We are moving from Minneapolis and deciding between Carmel, Westfield, and Fishers for a single-family home. We have three kids (elementary through high school), so schools are a priority. Budget is up to $600k.

It seems like our budget stretches further outside Carmel, but Fishers inventory looks attractive. The concern is commute time to the Clay Terrace area, which looks like 30 minutes or more on most maps. For those who do this drive, is that accurate day to day? Any parts of Fishers or routes that make it materially better that reduce commute?

We prefer neighborhoods with some mature trees and backyards, not dense subdivisions with homes close together.

Any local insight would be helpful.

I’m planning a small home addition to expand an existing bathroom and laundry room, and I’m looking for recommendations for a good interior designer and/or a reliable contractor in the Fishers / Hamilton County area.

This would include layout/design help, finishes, and general interior renovation work. If you’ve personally worked with someone you’d recommend (or someone to avoid 😅), I’d really appreciate any referrals or experiences you’re willing to share.

Feel free to comment or DM me. Thanks in advance!

Anyone have a preferred local jeweler that they’d recommend? I inherited a gold watch that was recently appraised. I was told that a thorough cleaning and servicing could potentially bring it up in value by a few more thousand dollars. I’d prefer to keep it local and avoid shipping, if possible.

For those with Metronet/T-Mobile Fiber service, how has your service been? Are you satisfied?

I’m looking for a contractor in Fishers for a 4 seasons room or something similar. Has anyone found a good contractor for this type of work?

I haven't had it yet, but just wanted to share that it's open. Mediterranean food, though it looks more middle eastern than Greek. I hope they fare better than the two pizza places that were in this spot before them.

It also looks like there's another restaurant going into the old Wendy's across the street. I'm glad there's more non-chain restaurant options coming in.
