Looks great! RT @IndyWebDaddy: Yea - Oaklandon Road not as much a mine field.

We want to wish everyone a wonderful Memorial Day as our nation pauses to honor the sacrifices of those who have served.

Thanks to City of Lawrence police and @impd_news for keeping our festival safe and secure!

Please slow down for our road crew that is resurfacing parts of Franklin Rd. Should be done later this week!
