March 2013
Vol. 36 // Issue 8
Editor’s Note
See Amanda Heckert‘s thoughts here on this issue, the recent southside explosion tragedy, and on citywide crime: “Fortunately, there are creative, ambitious people working hard to make Indy a desirable place to live. With a new public safety director, one hopes that 2013 becomes a turning point for the city’s crime problem. We don’t expect change to happen overnight. Our problems didn’t develop that quickly. Unless, of course, you live in Richmond Hill.“
