Good morning, this is Indianapolis Local Pulse for Friday, March 21, 2025.
We're waking up to a calmer day after last night's severe weather swept through central Indiana. The National Weather Service confirms that a tornado touched down in Vermillion County, causing damage to several structures. Thankfully, no injuries have been reported. Today, we're looking at clearer skies with temperatures in the mid-60s, perfect for cleanup efforts.
Speaking of cleanup, the Nickel Plate Trail is nearing completion. The new trail will stretch from the State Fairgrounds at 42nd Street all the way up to 96th Street. While it may look ready, the Department of Public Works says we'll need to wait just a few more months before it officially opens. In the meantime, let's respect those "Sidewalk Closed" signs.
Over at the Statehouse, lawmakers are tackling the issue of swatting. A bill aimed at cracking down on false emergency reports passed unanimously out of committee yesterday. This bipartisan effort shows our representatives are taking this dangerous trend seriously.
In sports news, Indiana University introduced their new men's basketball coach yesterday. Darren D, formerly of West Virginia University, expressed his excitement about leading one of college basketball's biggest brands. Meanwhile, high school hoops fans are still buzzing about South Knox's victory in the Class 2A state championship last weekend.
On a somber note, the community will gather next Tuesday to remember Matt Mason Alexander, a former HSE football player who tragically lost his life in a recent crash. The celebration of life will be held at the Fishers Event Center, with visitation starting at 9 AM.
In business news, Indy Parks is looking to fill 400 summer positions, including a pressing need for lifeguards. If you or someone you know is looking for summer work, this could be a great opportunity.
Looking ahead to the weekend, St. Matthew Men's Club is hosting a fish fry tonight from 5 to 7 PM, with both dine-in and carry-out options available. And mark your calendars for September, as Indianapolis will host the first-ever TEDSports event at the Old National Centre.
On the crime front, IMPD made a significant bust yesterday, arresting seven men and seizing drugs, cash, and firearms in a series of raids across the city. This operation was linked to several violent crimes in the area.
Lastly, here's a heartwarming story to start your day. Church members at Friendship Missionary Baptist Church in Hillside came together yesterday to clean up graffiti that had been sprayed on their building. It's a powerful reminder of our community's resilience and unity in the face of challenges.
This has been Indianapolis Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
