Don’t miss it—your voice matters in shaping the future of local schools.

Indianapolis police shut down an unlicensed bar called “The Playhouse,” seizing and destroying nearly 3,000 bottles and cans of alcohol during a raid. The club had been operating illegally since June despite a denied liquor license — a decision rooted in the owner’s shady past, including a shooting at his previous bar. Authorities say they’re stepping up enforcement to protect the community and ensure businesses comply with the law.
