I grew up close to Broad Ripple Village. Used to walk around that place all the time. There have been crime problems there for many years. People carrying their guns will quit going to the bars and clubs in Ripple without protection because the criminals will keep their weapons.
I have also been hearing that the mobs ripping off stores has started in Indiana now too.
Lived in Broad Ripple in the 80s.
Very safe, wonderful place back then. Sad to see this change.
