2. Downtown Olly's was voted as the LGBTQ Venue of the Year at the 2022 Bar and Restaurant Expo. Adam Goble, the venue's general manager, said in a statement, "Indianapolis’s SOGI community has thrived because we have a strong community of venues that have given us safe spaces to find our true selves." The bar has been invited to the 2023 expo for winning, along with an opportunity to become part of the judging panel. (WISH TV Indianapolis, IN)
3. On Monday, Indianapolis broke ground on $6.73 million in improvements to the Broad Ripple area. Projects over the coming months will include new large-diameter storm pipes, manholes, and curb inlets, as well as street repaving, rehabilitation of sidewalks, and a new trail.

From our sponsor:

Where should you invest as an Indianapolis resident with a $149,000 nest egg? Thanks to a change in the legal code, there’s a new investment Indianapolis residents need to know about. In fact, Bloomberg asked experts where they’d invest $100,000 right now and many of them chose it.

This may surprise you, but it’s fine art.

Growing your nest egg with art isn’t new. Wealthy families like the Rockefellers have done it for centuries.

Here’s why:

• Low correlation to stocks according to Citi
• Contemporary art historically returns 23.2% when inflation is >3%
• Contemporary art prices outpaced the S&P 500 by 164% (1995-2021)

Translation: Art could be one of the best investments for uncertain times.

Luckily for you, we found Masterworks. This revolutionary platform lets you invest in art by Warhol, Monet, Picasso without spending millions.

The best part? Anyone from your area can skip their waitlist*.
