Do you doubt me? Do you remember what happened with the Dutch soldiers back in August of 22? I've been down there on Georgia St and Meridian waiting on one of my clients to come out of Pier 48 and some guy got shot 100 yards behind me in the alley. About the same time I was in the same area and some guy was shot right in front of the Indy Star on Meridian. I went thru Broad Ripple one night and heard about 200 gunshots and another time 3 people were shot while I was driving a top client of mine to a restaurant in Broad Ripple. I'm not even talking about the northeast side, 42nd and Post.
I apologise. I looked up some things. I didn't realize Indianapolis has the 12th highest crime rate in the nation.
I've lived on the southside suburbs most of my life. It's pretty peaceful, quiet, safe.
If you're out in Greenwood or even Beech Grove it's not as bad, I'm 2 miles from downtown. I do a lot of work in the downtown area, I've heard gunshots more times than I can count while working and at night at home. I've got a $300,000 house in an area with many houses in that range where the homes have been renovated. Yet if you don't watch your back you can get car jacked 2 blocks from home. Despite the fact that I'm armed, I don't go to the gas stations or convenience stores or grocery stores close to where I live. I've been wanting to move since 2022, with the higher interest rates it's not like it was where you sell your house in a week. As soon as my house sells I'm out of here and I'm selling my business as well.
