Good morning, this is Indianapolis Local Pulse for March 6, 2025.
We're waking up to a chilly start here in Indy, with temperatures hovering around 40 degrees. Bundle up if you're heading out early, but we'll see a nice warm-up to the mid-60s by afternoon. Perfect weather for the outdoor events happening around town this weekend.
Breaking news this morning - two men were found dead in Brownsburg early yesterday in what police are calling a double homicide. The shooting occurred near Acre Avenue off Main Street. A person of interest is in custody, but authorities are still investigating. We'll keep you updated as we learn more.
In city news, Mayor Joe Hogsett has withdrawn his nomination of Kelly Dimond as interim director of Indianapolis Animal Care Services after weeks of protests from volunteers. The city council will now await a new nominee. This comes after concerns were raised about shelter management and animal care practices.
On a brighter note, local high school sports are in full swing. Carmel High School's boys swim team just clinched their 11th straight state title last weekend. And in an exciting development, Oak Hill senior Grant Cates broke the state diving record at the same meet.
Looking at real estate, the spring market is heating up along with the weather. We're seeing median home prices around $275,000 in the metro area, up about 5% from last year. New listings are popping up daily, especially in popular neighborhoods like Broad Ripple and Fountain Square.
For job seekers, there's good news on the horizon. Several companies have announced expansions in the area, including tech firms and manufacturing plants. We're expecting about 2,000 new jobs to open up in the coming months.
In community events, don't forget about the St. Patrick's Day parade this Saturday downtown. The route starts at North and Pennsylvania Streets and winds its way through the heart of the city. It's always a fun time for families, with plenty of green beer for the adults.
We're also excited about a new facility dog joining the staff at Center Grove Schools. Hopper, a specially trained canine, will be helping students with emotional support and stress relief. It's part of a growing trend of therapy animals in educational settings.
On the cultural front, Mary J. Blige just announced she'll be stopping in Indianapolis next year as part of her 2025 tour. Tickets go on sale next week, so mark your calendars if you want to catch the Queen of Hip-Hop Soul.
Lastly, a quick reminder about the new hands-free driving law. Police will start issuing warnings this spring, with fines beginning later in the year. Remember, keep those phones down while you're behind the wheel.
This has been Indianapolis Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
