Originally a roundabout was planned for the intersection of 116^th Street & Allisonville Road, but the City of Fishers decided to pivot. Now they will be making improvements to the existing roadway.

Now through October crews will:

The intersection and nearby businesses will remain open, though drivers should expect lane shifts, slower travel, and possible delays.

With temps warming up in Fishers, it’s time to utilize the parks and trails and get outdoors.

Did you know Fishers offers:

This week I wanted to highlight a couple for you to add to your list to check out this spring.

The Fishers AgriPark is a farm made up of public produce fields, gardens, and greenhouses, an animal encounter, tree nurseries, sensory garden, playground, nature trail, flower fields, and more. Their annual Arbor Day Celebration is coming up and later this season you can pick produce for free.

Pickleball players, the nets are up on the outdoor courts at both Cyntheanne Park and Holland Park. 

Geist Waterfront Park features beach and water access to Geist Reservoir, a non-motorized boat launch and dock access for kayaks, canoes, and paddle boards, walking trails, a pirate-themed playground, and more. While swimming and beach season wont start until later in May, they will be celebrating National Go Fly a Kite Day on April 19 from noon - 3 p.m.

Save the Date: splash pads will be turned open on Memorial Day.

Nutopia is a new Middle Eastern nut, chocolate, and candy boutique that just opened a few weeks ago.

📍9538 E 126th St, Fishers, IN

I took the kids here last week and they were in heaven, especially filling bags with all the gummy candies. They also had so many chocolate, nut, and spice options and delicious looking coffee drinks. This would be such a good place to pop in when you need a unique gift.

Got a game to watch, friends coming over, or zero interest in cooking tonight? Greek’s Pizzeria is ready for all of it. They’ve been serving up scratch-made Indiana pizza since 1969, and they still know how to bring people to the table. This is the kind of meal that makes a regular night feel like a good one. Make tonight a Greek’s night.
