  The Fishers Farmer's Market is a great Saturday morning event during the summer months in Fishers, Indiana.  Located on 116th in the Municipal Square (Library, Post Office, Fire Department, Police Department, Chamber Offices, Train Station are also located here) there are close to 50 booths with various vegetables, fruits, jewelry, health exhibits and even treats for the dogs!  Both regulars and newbies come each week to experience one of Fisher's great events.  You'll see lots of people reconnecting and comparing notes.  It is another way to show you the small city feel to one of the largest growing cities in the country.

If you are in Fishers, Indiana you need to have lunch at the Nickel Plate Bar and Grill located on 116th just behind the fair train station.  The Nickel Plate is also know as the Indiana Steelers venue because the owners are huge Pittsburgh Steeler fans (we don't hold that against them though!).  You can see from the picture that it is not your typical restaurant; the people you see eating outside are in an area that is pretty much wide open; at night garage doors close those areas.  You can get typical bar food at this restaurant, but an unusual item that is quite yummy is the bison burger.  You can also see from the picture the old fashion light posts that line the streets of Fishers and the cobblestone side walks! The downtown Fishers area is truly a step back in time with the train ... 08/08/2008

It's here, it's here. it's here!  The State Fair with it's Dairy Barn (yummy grilled chesse), Fried Everything (Twinkies, Snickers, etc), the Midway with all those rides for the kids, the Grand Stand (Carrie Underwood and Chris Daughtry!!), Special Events (Giant Pumpkin Contest!), all the livestock (it is INDIANA afterall) and the best ear of corn or strawberry shortcake you will ever have is here!

We have seen lots of people relocating to the Fishers, Carmel (which are located in Hamilton County, Indiana) area over the last few years.  It is no surprise that Hamilton County is a great place to live by those of us who do.  But now, we have national recognition!  Forbes Magazine just named Hamilton County as the best place in the United State to raise a family.  Forbes started with a list of counties across the country with populations over 65,000.  They then further reduced that list by looking at SAT and ACT scores that were less than 1050 and 22 respectively.  That left a list of 51 counties.  They then looked at these ten categories: Cost of living, Graduation rate, Standardized scores, Home price, Property tax rate as a percentage of median home price, Percentage of homes occu... 07/04/2008

The Indiana Department of Transportation released some details about a proposed $550 million project aimed at easing traffic along the I-69 I-465 interchange.  According to officials, the current problem is not the volume of traffic, rather the inefficient way it is handled.  Hence, the project will be designed to route traffic more efficiently that it currently does.  Well, dah!  If you have ever crawled onto I-69 from I-465 any rush hour, you couldn’t possibly dream of a more inefficient way to handle these overloaded interchanges.  Alas, there is help on the way.  They are talking about adding flyover ramps for the interchange from I-465 to I-69 that would eliminate that nightmare-ish, 100 foot merge we currently have.  They are also going to add similar remedies for the I-69 southb... 10/21/2007
