Goodbye, Bistro Shrimp Pasta. If you’re headed to the Cheesecake Factory this weekend, be aware that the chain is removing 13 menu items (and adding 23 more). We prefer St. Elmo’s shrimp cocktail anyway, thanks. (USA Today)

Indy is moving forward with three big initiatives in the near future. | Photo via @danielgrosephotography
Finding someone downtown, especially if they’re not from Indy, can be straight up disorienting. Why not make your meetup easier by choosing an iconic landmark to rendezvous at?
Soldiers and Sailors Monument
The iconic structure is only 15 ft shorter than the Statue of Liberty and features some unusual details like bears. When the observation deck is open, you can get a 360-degree view of the skyline.
Downtown Canal Walk
The Canal itself is a landmark, but when you’re trying to meet someone at the popular summer spot, it’s best to let them know where you are in relation to the “Orange Bridge.”
Indiana Statehouse
If you grew up in the Hoosier State, you’ve probably gone on a field trip to this historic building. Fun fact: There are snail fossils in the marble floors.
Madam Walker Legacy Center
This building is the only early 20th century structure that still stands in the 600 block of the avenue. It’s dedicated to America’s first self-made woman millionaire, born Sarah Breedlove.
MakeMyMove recently named six cities as America’s Most Welcoming Places — and one of them is Noblesville. As a resident, I wholeheartedly agree. For just a little taste of the friendly feels, I recommend grabbing some brunch at Rosie’s Place and picking up a puzzle next door from Moonshot.
