When I moved to Fishers, people asked me all sorts of things. “What are you going to do? Won’t you miss going shopping? To the movies? Being able to walk to anything you need?” Clearly, they didn’t know the very walkable island, that I go to the movie theater about once a year (unless I’m […]

One of the TAs there, Ana Rose Webster, also has a degree in dance instruction and is excited to bring ballet instruction […]

Did you know that seals love Hungry Point? That leatherback sea turtles travel north in the late summer and occasionally wash ashore? That whales have been found on Fishers and are regularly spotted in its waters? That dolphins too can end up on the beach – one up at the Castle as recently as this […]
