Midtown Holiday Home Tour – November 12&13

mrhodes — Mon, 07 Nov 2011 14:26:39 +0000

2nd Annual Midtown Holiday Home Tour
The Holiday Home Tour has a rich history in our Midtown neighborhoods of Broad Ripple, Butler-Tarkington, Mapleton-Fall Creek, Meridian-Kessler and the North Meridian Street Historic District. Sponsored for many years by the Easter Seals Crossroads Guild, the tour began a new era last year as the Midtown Holiday Home Tour.

Each home is decorated by a local florist, working closely with the homeowners to reflect their personal style. This Midtown tradition has helped families begin their holiday seasons for over 30 years.

Storm Drains

As our neighborhood is being deluged by another downpour, a quick reminder about storm drains. Don’t forget to check the storm drain in front of your home and make sure it is clear on any debris. Most of the time, localized flooding can be fixed with this five minute solution.

A Friendly Reminder…Please Shovel Your Sidewalks

admin — Wed, 22 Dec 2010 23:55:29 +0000

Many people don’t realize this, but it is city law that you keep your sidewalk clean from snow.

Please do your duty as a homeowner and shovel your sidewalks. It is too dangerous for kids and others to be walking down the street because there aren’t any passable sidewalks.
