Stormy Weather Ahead, Fatal Crashes, and WNBA All-Star Excitement in Indy
Good morning, this is Indianapolis Local Pulse for April 29, 2025.
We’re starting today under a Weather Impact Alert, as central Indiana braces for multiple rounds of storms. Meteorologists expect heavy rain, gusty winds, and a real chance for severe weather throughout the day. Be ready for sudden downpours, lighting, and possibly even hail, especially this afternoon. If you have outdoor plans or commute through downtown, keep a close eye on the sky. The rain might disrupt events and rush hour, so plan extra time and stay weather aware.
Breaking overnight, Indianapolis police responded to two separate fatal crashes on the northeast side, a stark reminder to drive carefully as conditions change with the storms. Public safety officials are urging us all to slow down and avoid flooded streets, especially along major routes like Shadeland Avenue and 56th Street. Meanwhile, the Willow Center is teaming up with Hendricks County Jail on a new inmate reentry program, aiming to cut repeat offenses and help people build better futures when they return to our neighborhoods.
At city hall, budget talks continue as local leaders weigh how a balanced budget is affecting health departments and social organizations. Some agencies are seeing tighter resources, so we’re watching closely for updates on any changes to essential services.
The Indianapolis job market remains active, with new opportunities in logistics and healthcare popping up as summer approaches. On the business front, Rita’s Italian Ice opened a new location in McCordsville—thanks to a venture led by Colts linebacker Zaire Franklin, who’s prepping for life after football and bringing cool treats to the area.
For real estate, homes are still moving fast. The average listing around Meridian-Kessler is holding just under $320,000. Low inventory is keeping sellers in the driver’s seat, but more listings are expected as school lets out and the weather warms.
On the cultural calendar, Indianapolis is buzzing about the 2025 WNBA All-Star festivities. Tickets go on sale today, and the city is set to host the game, the skills challenge, and Fever Fest. That’s a major score for our local sports scene and a boost to businesses around Gainbridge Fieldhouse. In high school sports, South Dearborn’s Ballart just made the Prime Time 25—one of the top football honors in Indiana.
A quick crime update—no citywide emergencies to report today, but police remain vigilant downtown and in Broad Ripple following a series of car break-ins reported over the weekend. If you’re parking near Mass Ave or the Canal Walk, double check your vehicle and secure valuables out of sight.
Looking ahead, families can check out the free CodeWizards Logic Challenge, open to all kids 8 to 18, and the Milan VFW hosts bingo every Tuesday, a solid way to meet neighbors and unwind rain or shine.
And finally, a feel-good note—students at Hauser High just hosted the sixth annual World’s Largest Math Event, showing off their love of numbers and teamwork with the theme Animals as Our Companions.
