Last night's local election results were all close (with exception of the Indianapolis Mayor's race bloodbath). In Zionsville, Carmel, and Lawrence Township Schools, the schools are all celebrating their referendums that all passed. Fishers had perhaps the biggest of surprise victories putting two democrats in office for the first time in history: Sam DeLong in the North Central District and Jocelyn Vare at Large. Here is my interview with Jocelyn Vare who ran a campaign on disrupting the republican stronghold in Fishers.

Host Tom Britt with the assist from Leadstra's Dave Anderson talking about the upcoming Elf on the Shelf in Fishers launching today, dialing up pizza at the new Pizza King at Geist, Beef & Boards opens "A Christmas Story" on November 21, Bethlehem United Methodist Church celebrates 175 years in Hamilton County (oldest church in county), Green District salads and wraps has the "best GD salads in town", Red Sake re-opening in Fortville as Bonsai Fortville in two weeks, the funniest voicemail in the world (referencing the podcast cover graphic this week), and the opening of the Fishers Winter Market at Roy Holland Park on Saturday. 

This week Dave Anderson and Tom Britt talk about Shop Fishers, Pizza King, El Lago (better than El Rodeo?), new yoga studio coming in December called Honor Yoga, one of Tom's favorite voicemails, and trolls on Facebook and NextDoor. 

After 12 years, I stepped back into the podcasting world to start a locals-only show to compliment our Geist and Fishers Magazines. In this episode, Dave Anderson reminisces with Tom on the early days of the atGeist Community Newsletter, Fishers annexation fight, growing the franchise system, and ends with two big local events happening tomorrow: Geist Clean Up Day and Kammy's Kause ribbon cutting with Make-A-Wish. 

A 20+ year resident of Geist Reservoir and publisher of the Geist Magazine, I'm anxious to share my thoughts, opinions, and friends from the local Geist community.
