I ingest seven and-a-half baking cups of construction dust a day, solidifying my status as a downtown resident. I live next to the North Split construction zone – ground zero of the outbreak that killed off half of our roads – where I’m serenaded daily by the rhythmic stylings of head jackhammer’s rendition of “Recess […]

I-70 in Hancock and Henry Counties has slipped into a vehicular graveyard. All that’s left are rusted out PT Cruisers – homes for exotic animals that escaped from the Greenfield zoo since “the reckoning”, or Judgement Day, or the day the construction barrels dropped from the Greenfield Rest Area to Knightstown. I was driving to […]

The headline should read, “The Road to MY FAVORITE Mexican Restaurant in Indy is Closing”, otherwise we’re assuming I’ve tried every Mexican restaurant in the nap. Let’s also remember that more than one street leads to the delicious La Parada on the east side and their fajitas en fuego (not a real menu item). Maybe […]

What in the what is going on in the north split? Is it closing, because everyone says it’s closing, and it IS, but all of it?! What’s to become of us?! What’s the significance of the construction bogging down two of the three legs going into the the north split, as in westbound I-70 after […]

Martinsville – a city 30-miles southeast of Indianapolis – has already received a good dousing of the S.R. 37 into I-69 conversion project. There’s now a light at the end of the tunnel, but mercy that tunnel long. This Saturday (1/2), S.R. 37 will close for five miles in and around Martinsville, weather permitting. It’s […]

Capping off a year that’s one exorcism short of an incubus in every bedroom, construction on the north split – the spot where I-65 and I-70 merge on the northeast side of downtown – is scheduled to begin sometime between Thanksgiving and Christmas of this year. The Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) says this girthy […]

As you know, Indiana and Indianapolis (Marion County) have initiated separate strategies for reopening restaurants, massage parlors, gymnasiums, and other business types, placing Marion County residents and the rest of the state on an Avengers style alternate timeline to normalcy. If I understand this correctly, and I’m sure I don’t, restaurants can reopen this Friday […]

Portions of some major Indianapolis streets will close to help restaurants expand outdoor seating amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

Doughnut party with Schnapps is in order, because we’ve earned our first scout merit construction badge of 2020. It’s a little orange construction cone with googly eyes and a cute little N-95 mask, complete with a smiley face etched on the front. This essential summer fashion pick is our reward for successfully negotiating the east […]

INDOT will close both directions of I-70 from the South Split to Ronald Reagan Parkway for approximately thirty days each.
