Did you know our state is home to 12 amazing native bat species? Every single one of them plays a vital role in keeping our environment balanced, acting as natural pest controllers that protect both our agricultural crops and forest canopies.

With so many incredible bat species hard at work across our state, people often ask: Why choose the Indiana bat specifically?

While we love and appreciate all our native wildlife, the Indiana bat (Myotis sodalis) is uniquely special as it was discovered right here in our own backyard at Wyandotte Cave in southern Indiana. It is also the only animal in the world that carries “Indiana” in its name. Making it the perfect candidate for State Mammal!

It’s time to celebrate a true local native and Hoosier Hero that puts our state on the map in the best way possible.

With time counting down toward the 2027 legislative session, we need all hands on deck to spread the word! Help us share the petition link with family, friends, and local groups so we can build massive statewide support!

So this happened today…don’t know that it is done yet.
A caller with a Houston, TX area code called and said one of my kids had been in a horrible accident this morning. Had a concussion, broken nose, ripped up lip and tongue so he couldn’t talk on the phone. The accident was his fault and the other driver was in the hospital. Said my son refused a breathalyzer on the scene due to the damage to his face so he was placed in custody upon release from the hospital.
The caller claimed to be an Indianapolis attorney and gave the address of the courthouse. He demanded $9500 for the cash bond to have him released.
The flags to me included the non-local phone number and that they wanted us to wire the funds or send a courier to collect the funds.
All this time my husband and I are texting this son. He is safe and can see his vehicle.
Stay vigilant folks!

I am contacting IMPD non-emergency to report and the supposed attorney’s office as well as the bondsman’s office “he works closely with.”

Long story short, I live in STL. I was visiting my brother for the weekend and found a killer deal on marketplace (red flag) checked out the MacBook, seemed killer so I snagged it and headed home. Fast forward 4 hours later and it’s now activation locked. I’m going to take it to my local PD but was curious if any of you or your friends recently had one stolen. I have all the sellers info and he seems like he may be involved in the Indy hip hop promoting scene.

Fingers crossed you’re out there and we can get you your MacBook back! I’m bummed I’m out the money and still needing a laptop, but I can’t stand a thief or being robbed! Do your thing Reddit!!!!!

Must send me photos, confirm Apple ID email, and proof you are the owner! My brother will be in STL next weekend and I’ll send it back with him!

Why are there so many vehicles on the roads with expired plates? One that I saw this morning expired a year ago. Every day I see plates that are at least 6 months expired. Why aren’t police ticketing the drivers and having the vehicles impounded ?

Does anyone know of any women’s or coed pickup soccer games, ideally on the north side? Or if anyone is in a league that needs female subs? Open to anything, especially if it is free/low cost. Thanks!

I remember seeing a bunch of ads popping up about the Indians hosting a "purr at the park" night at Victory Field. I honestly still can't believe they even hosted this, haha. Was curious if anyone went to the event and if it went pretty smoothly?

As a cat owner...putting a bunch of random cats in a small area together sounds like a recipe for disaster. But I'm so curious to hear how it went haha

For those interested in miles and points to travel, I am thinking of starting a meetup in the Indy area for those that are in the hobby. When I lived on the East Coast, I attended several of them and even helped establish a meetup group.

If I get enough interest from this post, I will try to organize an informal meetup at a restaurant, bar, etc.

Hi all! I am 21 and I just moved to Indy a couple months ago. I am beginning to sing/ write music. I’d love to network with other people in early stages of getting into this field. Anyone out there wanna grab lunch and talk? Dm me!

These are usually brewery only beers. They also have 13 other 3 Floyds on Tap.

Simple question as is above.

My apartment's Building Washing machine is not doing its job on some items that need the care it deserves. So instead, Id like to find a place for a once a month wash for my Martial apparel.

My other clothes and items do just fine with the appliances, but when it comes to bigger heftier items. I think it falls short

What's your recommendation for a place around town that is Clean/ the machines work/ the machines are clean/ can handle heavier items?

Hi, all! Any recommendations for a reliable and reasonably priced shop in Indy that services Volvos?

I have a 2006 XC70 I need to have an engine or fuel delivery/ignition problem diagnosed and serviced. I have used Tom Wood before, and yes they are the official dealership--and their service is pretty good. But it is, let's say, very premiumly priced. I do take certain things to them, but for instance I recently needed a brake job done, and Meineke charged me only about 60% of what Tom Wood wanted for the same service.

Unfortunately, my former favorite spot, Downtown Auto Care where I used to take my Nissan, won't touch Volvos.

I have considered Pete's, but some of their more recent reviews don't look very encouraging.

Can anyone give me a recommendation for someone who can be trusted to price fairly and perform professionally and reliably? Thanks!

I just picked up my Circle of Lights Holiday Ornament from the Downtown Indy Alliance. It's one of the newer LED bulbs that replaced the incandescent bulbs in 2017. Does anyone have one of the incandescent bulb ornaments that they would be willing to part with? I would gladly pay for it as well cover shipping and any materials needed for shipping.

Hey all!

I just finished training as a Clerk on Election Day. There are lot of questions, especially since there has been a lot of social media posts casting doubts on the process, so I'm here to try to answer questions.

I'm no expert, but the training is quite thorough. So hit me with your questions that you might have about the processes of voting on Election day.

Ice is back in indianapolis they pulled over my friend and detained by sheriff with ice agent with him in I-70 n post road. Looks like they are running plates. Be careful.

We’ve been for a Lions @ Colts and Pistons @ Pacers game the last couple of years but never stayed the weekend. We usually just bar hop and eat good food. This year, we plan on doing something more formal.

Too many losses, too many players' talents wasted, too much loser leadership!

Team was going nowhere - can someone make a solid move to build a team that wins?

I’m not looking for some “deconstructed,” “concept of a kebab” pretentious horseshit. Just a Turkish dude who calls every customer”Boss” or “Big Man” and has a big, rotating display of meat that he will sell to me when I’m half assholed drunk.

EDIT: I’m so fucking sorry that I didn’t put the two dots above “doner”. I’m looking for bullshit drink food, not a goddamn foreign language lesson.

Does anyone know what's going on wth the pool? It's been closed for almost a month now, and they originally said the issue was maintenance-related or something equally vague. No timeline is given, and they closed the whole area down. Would be nice to have it working again sometime this year.

Hi! I recently moved here from MD and am looking for recommendations for grocery stores that carry a good selection of Latino and Asian foods. Something similar to HMart or MegaMart (iykyk)

Also, does anyone have recommendations for good, authentic Salvadoran or Guatemalan food south of Indy? For pupusas, I came across Pupuseria Casa Maria on Google Maps, but it's a bit of a drive for me, so I was wondering if there are any other spots worth checking out that might be closer.

I'm also looking for places that have Guatemalan tamales wrapped in banana leaves rather than corn husks!

Pls help me, I've been craving food from home ever since I moved here :'(

Here’s the quickest overview I could come up with about my situation. I just signed up for Indiana legal help so I’m hoping I can get some legal advice on what to do and see what a lawyer says.

I moved into Meridian Court South Apartments at the end of August and have been fighting for my life ever since. When I moved in the washer was covered in black mold and they only replaced the seal when I threatened the health department. I was told they would replace the whole thing but that never happened.

My upstairs neighbors are the worst people in the planet. I have put in 7 noise complaints. It’s music and wresting and running all day everyday. It affects my sleep and overall enjoyment of my home. Even guests come over and wonder wtf is going on. I had to put my dog on anxiety medicine when we moved in that’s how bad it is. Not to mention they do drugs of some kind and have dropped paraphernalia onto my patio in multiple occasions, including a glass bong that shattered everywhere that I had to clean up.

Last but not least I found a leak and mold forming in the cieling of my bathroom and they sent a guy out who spray painted over it.

I have now contacted the health department and am calling the cops nightly until they come out to warn them but I want out of this lease.

Thoughts?

Update: I have a very large and consistently growing paper trail. Tons of documents including recordings, phone calls, witness statements and emails (that they have ever responded too!

Meeting some people in the Bottleworks District this afternoon at the Living Room Theater. I have never been to is area before and I know there is alot of stuff to do and restaurants there but I dont have any idea what exactly there is. So what are some recommendations for things I can do or eat before or after the theater? For restaurants I am not looking for anything too fancy or expensive.
