Irvington's vibe is so strong that I was cosmically forced to adopt a black cat upon buying a home

@JATompkinsOct 15
Replying to @GordonHendry @jstewartIndy
Irvington one of few spots in city with that cache, long history, streets named after authors, events built around a time a year. But culture is not just a sense of community. Irvington developed its cultural cache from leaning into an identity — mind you, originally as a suburb. Irvington = halloween and spooks. Not sure many other places in Marion County outside Speedway compete on culture.

AI or an actress? Spartz sends cease-and-desist over Ford's attack ad

The spat is the latest development in an increasingly competitive 5th District race.
