Back in the day when I lived there, that was the mantra of the local government syndicate. They restricted growth/development in certain areas to maintain (in their words) Bloomington’s small town charm.I don't live in Bloomington, but just inside Greene county on the Monroe county border. We often make trips there for home projects like going to Menards etc., but If we can get it in Bedford we'll go there instead. Bloomington is really overcrowded and becoming a cesspool of filth. Maybe 20 years ago it had that small town charm, not anymore.
Are you talking about the Antifa douche bags? I had to google search it some to learn more about it as it happened before we moved here. I presume they are still there. Can't even go to a frigging farmers market now-a-days. I thought this crap only existed in the Pacific Northwest. Guess I was wrong.What ever became of those ***holes disrupting the farmers' market?

Far as I'm aware, they won. What's her name got unpersoned and shut down.What ever became of those ***holes disrupting the farmers' market?

Those people tried to get me fired from my crummy job for disagreeing with them on the internet over the "farmers market nazis" thing.
That cluster of apartments accounts for most of Bloomington's shootings.My oldest boy lives in Bloomington. He said that part of town isn't a good place to be.
He said something is always going on there.
As dumb as Indianapolis can be, I don't miss Bloomington. Wish I could move to Bedford or Seymour or Nashville or somewhere around that area again, but I don't believe I will ever go back to Bloomington proper. The cancer is terminal.I miss the Bloomington of old. A nice small town, especially in the summer. Now, no plastic, no straws, no dog sales, pay to park, homeless everywhere, only hive-minded, no free thought unless the hive agrees with your free thought, taxed to oblivion....
This story reads more like a 'hit' than a random act of violence, but who knows.
That is almost an exact quote from me to my wife when she asked if we should move down there. I like the area, but there's no chance I'd live in Bloomington proper again. I highly doubt I'd live in Monroe county. Maybe if the progressives move out.... There are a few other things that bum me out about the growth of Bloomington, but mostly it's the type of people living there now.As dumb as Indianapolis can be, I don't miss Bloomington. Wish I could move to Bedford or Seymour or Nashville or somewhere around that area again, but I don't believe I will ever go back to Bloomington proper. The cancer is terminal.

Woman shot Thursday night on Maple Street...
...A 45-year-old Bloomington woman was shot several times Thursday night on North Maple Street and police are looking for a suspect who fired into the woman’s car as she backed out of a driveway.
She drove herself to a nearby business in the 700 block of West 17th Street and asked a store clerk to call for help. A Bloomington Police Department officer administered first aid in the parking lot until an ambulance with medics arrived.
The victim was shot in the shoulder, according to a BPD news release. The incident was reported at 10:20 p.m., when several people called 911 saying they had just heard gunshots fired in the 1200 block of North Maple Street.
The woman was driving a car registered to a 76-year-old man who was not present when the shooting happened. The car had a shattered rear window and several bullet holes in the side and back.
As officers raced to the scene of the gunshots, a clerk at a business on 17th Street called 911 to report a woman had entered the business saying she had been shot.
Officers found several spent shell casings in the street where the shooting took place.
When interviewed by a detective at the hospital, the woman said she was backing out of a driveway on Maple Street when she noticed a vehicle stopped behind hers. “She said that an unknown person wearing a face covering exited the vehicle and began
shooting at her vehicle before speeding off in an unknown direction,” the news release said.
Anyone with information or possible surveillance video from the area of the shooting is asked to call BPD Detective Jeff Rodgers at 812-339-4477...
