Need a spring staycation? Editor Shea just discovered what may be her new favorite Airbnb in Indianapolis: The Prescott.
This 1908 Irvington home is oozing with style, with its bold floral staircase in particular making frequent appearances in guests’ Instagram posts. But perhaps the favorite feature, if you ask owners Adam and Carter (also the owners of nearby Hampton & Co.), is the “Scream” closet, which is covered in posters and memorabilia from the iconic horror franchise. In fact, the house gets its name from heroine Sidney Prescott — quite fitting for a rental located in the heart of the Halloween-loving neighborhood, if you ask us.

I want to give the hugest of shout outs to our IND staff for keeping airport operations running smoothly during spring break and the partial government shutdown. When I traveled this past weekend, the airport was packed, but security moved as quickly as ever and everyone I encountered was in good spirits. Also, I loved joining fellow Purdue fans in The Tap cheering the team on as they beat Queens University of Charlotte Royals.
The airport is gearing up to welcome sports fans from across the US for the NCAA Final Four tournament.
