I continue my travels around Indiana and was away from Fishers for a good part of last week, but that didn’t stop news from happening in our fair city.   Let’s catch-up on a few news items from the last few days:

–The Fishers Winter Wonderland celebration that had been scheduled for Saturday was pushed back to tonight (Sunday) because of the lousy, rainy conditions yesterday.  It goes until 8pm.

–Local Fishers developer RealAmerica lost its bid to receive $1.2 million in housing credits the firm planned to use for a proposed rental housing development near Fishers Elementary School.  The IBJ reports that RealAmerica is in the process of determining where to go from here.  You can read the IBJ story at this link.

–Fishers has been ranked the second-safest city in the state of Indiana by Safewise, a review Web site.  The safest city in the state is much smaller population-wise compared to Fishers, St. John in northern Indiana, with just over 16,000 people living there.  Carmel came in as the third-safest city in the Hoosier state.  For the full list, use this link.
