October 31, 2023 | What's really happening with riverfront development?

Hey Locals,

Happy Halloween! Well, well, well... Wells Street is becoming a center of interest as riverfront development extends north. But neighbors and longtime community advocates tell us they feel blindsided and confused by deals being made all around them by private investors and the city. Now, they want to know: What's the plan?

This week, we're breaking down a statement from Wells Street business owner and river advocate Dan Wire. We also provide an update on the Allen County jail tax and Packard Park softball diamond controversy.

In our Local Spotlight, we share the story behind Brooks BBQ at Union Street Market food hall, where we have our November deal.
