INDIANAPOLIS — Just to get home, families living in an Indianapolis neighborhood had to contend with large holes in an alley that were filled with water. After several complaints to the city went unanswered, one woman took matters into her own hands."They were huge. They looked like lakes. Like a little lake in the alley," Jannifer Denise said.Denise said driving down the alley just off Keystone Avenue has been hazardous for years. The alley is the only way to access her father's home, so she called the Mayor's Action Center. Her complaint has been open since 2015."The lady was like, 'I understand, they just aren't fixing the alleys right now,'" Denise said.However, matters became more urgent this summer after her father had a stroke and was diagnosed with dementia. He now requires home care."Getting help sounds great. But I panicked when they said they were going to send people out to the house and I thought how are they going to get to him?" Denise said.She hired a company and paid 0 to have stones installed on the alley."My dad said it's the city's responsibility. I said, 'It's their responsibility, but it's my problem. I have to make sure you are taken care of so I have to have someone come out and fill it,'" Denise said.The company hired to do the work is upset because they feel Denise shouldn't have to pay to get the work done."We sent out somebody and he called me and said, 'Oh, yeah. This is terrible. One load of stone will not be enough for this. The holes are so big the cars are sinking in,'" Anne McCurdy, a dispatcher with Brookfield Sand and Gravel, said.McCurdy has taken a special interest in the situation. She even called the Mayor's Action Center because she was worried Denise will have the same issue in two years."I just hope somebody can take the initiative and fix the problem," McCurdy said. "I don't think she should have to pay for it. If the city could step up, that would be awesome. Would be nice to take care of the gentleman."The Mayor's Action Center said they have more than 2,300 open cases for potholes in alleys, but it could include duplicate calls for the same chuckhole.Ben Easley, a spokesman for the Department of Public Works, said it is now DPW's current direction to prioritize addressing requests over street rehabilitation projects. However, he said more funding for transportation infrastructure maintenance would allow them to get a place to better address alleys in the future.Easley said they do not receive gas tax revenue for non-name streets like alleys, so only larger thoroughfares and residential streets are considered when allocating funding to Marion County. Since alleys are less traveled, he said streets with higher traffic volumes must remain the priority.Easley also said the Street Maintenance Team, which was introduced this year, specializes in fixing residential streets that would likely not be addressed with large infrastructure rehabilitation contracts."With the addition of the Street Maintenance Team, it is indeed possible that DPW will get to a point where we might be able to prioritize alley improvements. However, repairs to city streets with higher traffic volumes must remain the priority," Easley said. 3224

If you're traveling this holiday season, but just haven't had time to book your flights, travel experts say it's not too late.Travel expert Kelly Rizzo with Hotwire and Eat Travel Rock says the best time to book a holiday flight is about 21 days before the holiday. That means the first week of November is the sweet spot for Thanksgiving travel. "Always look for those middle of the week deals and coming back during the middle of the week too,” said Rizzo. “And also some of those late night flights are going to be more affordable than right in the afternoon."Shopping five days before is the most expensive. Usually during the holiday season, many travel with family. Kelly suggests taking Jet Blue. It has a lot of leg room for adults and has great snacks and free Wi-Fi for kids.Southwest is another family friendly airline. Right now, they are having a flash sale on flights for . They only apply to certain days of the week. So, if you are flexible, then take advantage because it ends midnight on October 17.If you haven't booked your flight for Christmas, you might want to wait. Kelly says Black Friday and Cyber Monday have great deals on flights, hotels and rental cars. 1198

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — For Steve and Lisa Tharp, family has four legs.Quigley, their 4-year-old miniature horse, was known for his huge, playful personality. He often took his antics to an elementary school in Bethany, Missouri, where he donned a Rudolph costume to visit the kids at Christmas.The mischievous miniature loved running through the pasture with his four-legged family. "He'll play these little games with me. After I'm done, he'll come up and kiss me on the cheek, every time," Steve Tharp said.On regular days, the Tharps have a routine. Once the horses are fed, Lisa sits on the ground to pet them and hand out treats."The last two nights, she's sitting out there and all these ponies, they'd all get around. There was one empty spot," Steve said.The spot belongs to Quigley. 799

In one of the busiest subway stations in New York—amidst the bell ringers, toy salesmen, and those espousing religious beliefs—sits a woman wearing a leopard print coat and a smile, hoping to get the attention of people in her own, subdued way. She has a sign that reads, “Welcome to Grammar Table.” Ellen Jovin is a self-professed grammar nerd. "Conjugating verbs is a good time for me," Jovin says. She had always found herself posting interesting, grammar-related articles on Facebook. Then, she had an idea. "Being on the computer too much makes you grumpy, and it's not good for overall life happiness, so I decided that I should take it to the streets,” Jovin says. “So, I’m doing what I did online, here." Jovin’s obsession with language is rooted in something really quite simple. "Language is connected to who we are as human beings, how we relate to one another, what ties us together,” she says.What surprises her most about interactions with people? “The warm fuzzy feeling I get from it,” Jovin says. “Because sometimes the conversations are so moving I almost feel like I might cry. See, I just used like as a conjunction right there.” She says she gets the occasional funny looks, but a lot of people love what Jovin is doing. Jovin offers grammar help in several different languages, even offering help to tourists visiting New York from other countries. It's these kinds of discussions that Jovin says now, in divided times, we should all be having more of, because good grammar is something we can all get behind."And people are happy to bond over something that they have in common, as opposed to focus on what tears them apart." 1662
