I’ve been a bit busy lately, so allow me this opportunity to list some of the Fishers news items that have not yet appeared on this blog, but are of importance to people residing in our fair city.

First, Fishers Police want everyone to know there is a new scam making the rounds locally.  The e-mail claims you owe money because of a speeding violation recorded on camera.  Delete this message if you find it in your inbox.  If you have any questions, call the administrative phone number at the Fishers Police Department, at 317- 595-3300.

Next, it is amazing when a simple podcast interview provides you with a news story.  It has happened a few times with me.  The Indianapolis Business Journal (IBJ) has started a series of podcasts, which are well-done and I would recommend them to your attention.  But a recent podcast interview with Craig Huse, president of Indianapolis-based Huse Culinary, which operates the hallowed St. Elmo Steak House in downtown Indianapolis and sister eateries Harry & Izzy’s and Burger Study, revealed a change in the company’s plans.  Hulce said in the podcast that his firm has scrapped plans to place a Burger Study restaurant in The Yard development, currently under construction Near IKEA and Portillo’s in Fishers.  Instead, the restaurateurs plan to place something they call the HC Lounge, a one-of-a-kind concept just for the Fishers location.  Opening date is expected in October of 2019, for both the HC Lounge and the previously-announced 1933 Lounge at The Yard.  You can listen to the podcast at this link.

Speaking of The Yard, the IBJ also reports that the owner of Indy’s north side eatery  Sangiovese Ristorante, Chris Evans, says he will be opening a similar location at the Yard, but plans to add Neapolitan pizza, flatbreads and other elements attractive to lunch customers.  Read the IBJ story at this link.

Finally, The Fishers Nickel Plate District Arts Crawl is this Friday evening, 6-9pm, joining local downtown-area business with area artists.  You can learn more by listening to a podcast I recorded on that subject at this link.
