I know this is not a Fishers story, but anyone that has spent any time with our neighbor to the north, Noblesville, has likely visited the Jim Dandy Restaurant.  There has been a social media buzz for days that the long-time eatery will soon be closing.

John Tuohy of the Indianapolis Star wrote a story  (Subscription may be required) about the history of the establishment and why the owners are set to close it soon.

It is a familiar story, the owners are aging and younger family members have no interest in keeping the restaurant going.

My major memory of Jim Dandy was when I invited Mark Heirbrandt to appear on one of my podcasts during a recent re-election campaign.  Despite all the background noise, Mark insisted we record at Jim Dandy, a favorite place for the County Commissioner to eat.  The staff was helpful in working out the technical details required to get the podcast recorded.

Jim Dandy is part of Hamilton County history and many in and around Noblesville will miss it.
