Our Indy is No Mean City

6 Comments

Two weeks ago, we loved Indianapolis. We loved heading to the Indy Winter Farmer’s Market on Saturday mornings, we loved playing intramural soccer with Circle City Athletics, we loved grabbing a drink at the Libertine, we loved running along the canal.

It’s the perfect way to get in shape and achieve peace of mind all while working up a sweat. And maybe, just maybe, if you close your eyes long enough, the heat of the studio can be enough to let your mind escape to an island far, far away.

Northeast Side Fish Market is an Indy Gem

3 Comments

There’s a certain set of criteria for fishmongers. Is the shop busy? Is the display ice slushy and clear or melting and discolored? Does it smell like the inside of a sailor’s shoe?
