Good morning, this is Indianapolis Local Pulse for Sunday, July 27, 2025.
We start today with breaking news overnight. According to the Bartholomew County Sheriff’s Department, Kenneth Winston, age sixty, of Indianapolis was taken into custody yesterday just after three in the afternoon on a warrant. Winston is being held on a seventy five hundred dollar bond. This comes as police remind us to stay alert, especially as summer events bring larger crowds downtown and in Broad Ripple this weekend.
Turning to weather, after a humid Saturday with storms, we wake up to lingering clouds in the morning, but look for skies to clear by late afternoon. Highs will reach eighty seven, and the humidity will linger, so let’s plan for a warm day if we’re heading outside. Rain chances drop off into Monday, but with highs in the low nineties, we want to watch for heat as the week begins, especially for those heading out to community events or neighborhood parks.
On the business front, Inside Indiana Business reports Indiana is now being called the Radiopharmaceutical Capital of the World thanks to a flurry of developments in nuclear medicine. Several tech firms are expanding teams in the Meridian-Kessler neighborhood, with job boards showing over six hundred openings for pharmacy and logistics roles across Marion County. If you’re in the market for real estate, the northside continues to see brisk home sales, with average prices up nearly six percent year-over-year, pushing the median sale price close to three hundred and twenty thousand.
In city hall news, a recent permit application filed with the Indiana Department of Environmental Management is drawing local attention. Bio Town Ag is seeking approval for new biosolid land application sites, not in Marion but in nearby areas, and the department is welcoming public comments through August. We’ll be watching for any potential impact if future proposals move closer to Indianapolis.
Music lovers can look forward to the annual Jazz on the Canal festival kicking off this Thursday evening near the Indiana State Museum, with local acts expected to draw big crowds. Also this week, the Garfield Park Art Fair opens Saturday morning, featuring over a hundred regional artists. Sports fans are still buzzing about the Fever’s overtime win Friday night, their third straight, with standout performances turning heads for the coming playoffs.
Turning to education, congratulations go out to students at Shortridge High who took first place in the statewide robotics challenge this weekend, keeping the school’s innovative reputation alive as the academic year approaches.
On the crime front, aside from the major warrant arrest yesterday, police report a quiet night with stepped-up patrols in Fountain Square and near East 38th Street aiming to curb recent car break-ins. Police ask us to keep vehicles locked and to report anything suspicious as summer travels continue.
Ending with a feel-good note, a group of Riverside neighbors came together to build a new playground at Taggart Memorial Amphitheatre, a true example of our city’s spirit, with dozens volunteering their Saturday to finish before the big Back-to-School Bash next weekend.
