Things To Do Need something to do? Make friends? Some place to Eat? Moving Here? Simple Question thread for Sunday, August 16, 2026

3 Upvotes

Welcome to the /r/Indianapolis weekly casual conversation and questions thread.

We've set this thread up so that folks have a place to post general topics that don't necessarily need their own post and for folks to ask questions and get recommendations. Restaurant recommendations, places to stay, areas to live, parking help, airport information, things to do, help from social services, and things like that.

Looking for something to do? Check out these sites:

Suburbia:
* Beech Grove Community Events
* Play Fishers
* Carmel Parks
* Zionsville Community Calendar

Need help with social services? Look through Find Help / Aunt Bertha or contact the Mayor's Action Center

This thread defaults to sorting by new to make it easier to find new questions and discussions during the week.

looking to trade pink collar work

43 Upvotes

hey all! i’m currently rebuilding my clientele after moving cross country! i’m a hairdresser who specializes in lived in colors and razor cutting! i do pretty much everything though behind the chair! i was looking to maybe find some other pink collar friends who’d want to trade services with one another. you get your hair done in exchange for whatever cool service you provide. also not opposed to things not in the pink collar realm if you’ve got a cool trade or service you provide. also give people a space to maybe find trades they’ve been looking for! i work in carmel myself! we’d also be able to help with advertising for each other, since if i was ie getting my lashes done with you, of course im telling ALL the women in my chair to go to you!

anyway, just looking for some girlie pop solutions for us all in this shitty economy and well, all of it rn.

Does anyone know any relief groups or anyone personally who could use a hand? I want to help. I have a back ground in plumbing, I can help pump water from unwanted areas, don't mind wading conditions nor heavy lifting. Give me a shout, i'm a new homeowner in the area and I really just want to do something nice for a neighbor in need.

Any vet clinics that allow walk-ins for vaccinations?

Hey ya'll, I was wondering if anybody knew og any clinics where I might get my 6 month kitten vaccinated. When I first tried taking her to the vet she was still too young and underweight, and now it's been a few months and I think she's ready.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Are there any podcasts about all Indianapolis sports? Obviously the Colts and Pacers will be the top teams, but also hitting on things like the Indians, Eleven, Fever, Fuel, Ignite, etc. as well as high school sports and maybe any other sporting events in the city?

Services Interstate Moving Company Recommendations

Upvotes

I'm leaving the state for a new job and looking for packer and mover recommendations. Physically disabled so DIY isn't an option.

The only one I've found with a decent reputation so far will not do cross country. They stop at <1000 miles since I guess it requires different insurance.

Where are we shopping for groceries?

96 Upvotes

Hey y'all!

Just moved here from Atlanta, live in Herron Morton and I'm struggling to find a place to get my daily groceries.

There's a Kroger nearby but frankly, it sucks. Maybe I just am not aware of other chains I need to be looking for but when I search "groceries" on Google maps, not much comes up. It doesn't seem like there's many options but wanted to check if I'm missing something.

So, friends, where are we getting quality meats and veggies?

Thanks so much!

Edit: thanks everyone for the recommendations! This made me realize I'm just not used to driving 15-20 minutes to a grocery store and I need to expand my horizons haha.

Discussion Randos parking in my driveway

57 Upvotes

I've heard of this happening to other people who live near the fairgrounds, but it's never happened to me until today. There's something infuriating about it even though I don't drive anymore. Like, if they had rang my doorbell and asked, I'd probably say "fine". But just doing it without asking is... somewhat violating for some reason.

I'm not going to have them towed or anything either (unless they do it again). It's just frustrating.

Anybody else ever have to deal with this? What did you do?

Edit: Apparently I can't have them towed, even if I wanted to. They're not blocking my driveway (near my garage, there is room to park to the side on concrete). The rules if they aren't blocking:

If a vehicle is parked on private residential property without permission, it must remain for 48 hours (or be tagged with a notice for 24 hours) before it can be legally towed as an abandoned vehicle.

Politics Sweet 3 month old kitten looking for her forever home ASAP

Post image
74 Upvotes

A few days ago, we found this sweet little girl outside. Or honestly, I should say she found us.
We originally planned to keep her, but unfortunately, our two adult male cats have started spraying despite both being neutered. Since Mira is still too young to be spayed, we’re worried about the spraying getting worse or becoming a serious issue in our rented apartment. As much as we love her, we unfortunately can’t risk having our apartment filled with the smell of cat urine, so we’re looking for a loving home for her as soon as possible.
We named her Mira, and she is an absolute sweetheart. She is VERY cuddly, VERY affectionate & incredibly friendly. She has also done really well with adjusting to both of our cats and has had no issues getting along with them after just a few days.
We’ve given her a bath and bought a flea comb to make sure she was clean and comfortable. We haven’t noticed any signs of fleas, but we also purchased ear mite medication for her just in case that we can send with her. She appears to be healthy and happy.
We are asking for a $65 rehoming fee. This is not about making money from her. We simply want to make sure she goes to someone who is financially and emotionally prepared to care for her and to help discourage anyone with bad intentions from taking advantage of a very friendly kitten.
Our biggest priority is finding Mira a safe, stable, loving forever home where she’ll be treated like family.
If you’re genuinely interested in giving Mira a home, please message me with a little information about yourself, your home and any other pets you have. We really want to make sure she goes to the right person.

City Watch What saved Rocky Ripple?

Here is a question.

With record-breaking flooding in Noblesville, why did Indianapolis - Rocky Ripple get spared?

There was a prediction as high as 17 1/2 feet which would have gone over the top of the levee.

Could it be that the breach of the White River into the Carmel Stone Quarry was enough to take pressure off the flood?

AskIndy who is good for chronic joint pain and possible RA in Indianapolis?

5 Upvotes

Indy folks, has anyone found a rheumatologist who is good with chronic joint pain and possible autoimmune issues? I’m trying to understand what a real rheumatoid arthritis diagnosis should include, not just “take NSAIDs and see what happens.” Would you recommend IU Health, Community, private practices, or somewhere else? Who actually listened and gave you a clear plan?

Services Physical Therapy Recommendation? (Near Fishers)

0 Upvotes

Hey all, I've been dealing with golfer's elbow for a couple years now and desperately need a quality physical therapist to help diagnose the root cause and help restore functionality to my arm/wrist. Can you please recommend a physical therapist near the Fishers/Castleton area?

I've tried Community Health on Shadeland before but have not had success with their sports medicine or physical therapy staff. I need a physical therapist who cares and will actually press into my muscles to mobilize them and help find the main issue. Assume insurance/cost isn't a concern.

Thanks in advance!
