Cup and Kettle- No store front currently online sales only. I bought gift cards to help with scaffolding and helping her store and she will no longer will take them. Bad business practice and customer service. Cup and Kettle is preparing her tea at her residence and only online sales. Would like this reported for bad business practices and health and safety issue.
Here's an idea: how about we move the jail complex to the current location of the B'ton transit center and we move the transit center to half of the North Park location. The bums who get early release for drugs / theft / violence are near Shalom / Wheeler / B-line where they are at home, and the buses are safely away from theft / vandalism of south Walnut B-line. Win-win, and we don't need to develop another $7 million park to house addicts.
I am submitting a complaint regarding what I believe was an unreasonable and predatory towing incident involving Tow Time Solutions and the Hampton Inn Bloomington located at 2100 N. Walnut Street in Bloomington, Indiana. On April 23, 2026, I was a registered overnight guest at the Hampton Inn Bloomington. Prior to arrival, I completed digital check-in through Hilton’s mobile app and was issued a digital room key. Upon arriving at the hotel around 8:15 p.m., the front desk was unattended, so I proceeded directly to my room using the digital key provided through Hilton’s system. At no point during the digital check-in process was I provided any direct notification that an additional parking registration step was required in order to avoid towing. The following morning, I discovered that my vehicle had been towed by Tow Time Solutions despite being a legitimate paying hotel guest. I was required to pay approximately $300 to retrieve my vehicle and had to cancel work obligations, arrange transportation to the tow facility, and spend significant time resolving the issue. My concern is not simply the existence of parking signage or permit policies, but rather the manner in which towing enforcement was conducted against an authorized guest without any reasonable verification process. The hotel had an active reservation, digital check-in record, and occupied room associated with my stay, yet neither the hotel nor the towing company appears to have made any attempt to verify whether the vehicle belonged to a registered guest before towing it. Additionally, the hotel’s use of digital check-in creates a reasonable expectation that guests can complete arrival procedures without front desk interaction. Requiring an additional undocumented step while the front desk is unattended creates a foreseeable risk of confusion for guests and raises concerns regarding fairness, consumer protection, and accessibility. I believe this situation reflects predatory towing practices because: the vehicle belonged to a verified hotel guest, no warning or attempt at guest verification occurred prior to towing, the towing fee was excessive relative to the circumstances, and the enforcement process appeared designed to maximize towing revenue rather than reasonably manage unauthorized parking. I respectfully request review of the towing practices associated with this property and Tow Time Solutions, including whether reasonable consumer protections, guest verification procedures, and accessibility considerations are being followed before vehicles are towed from hotel property. Thank you for your time and consideration.
The light sculpture just south of the Dimension Mill only has a few lights working. This is a beautiful sculpture, and relatively recently installed. In its current state, it gives a blighted look to the space in the evening. Please repair the light sculpture. Thank you.
A pile of scooters is blocking the sidewalk in front of 209 East Wylie Street. They have been there since last weekend.
Can Bloomington Police check in at Food Truck Fridays to put a stop to kids on electric motorcycles? On Friday, May 15, a kid was racing around on a electric motorcycle. He was going perpendicular to the B-Line zipping back and forth across it, going behind the pavilion and then across along the playground between it and the green tables. He was traveling on the electric motorcycle doing wheelies and traveling at a high rate of speed with total disregard to traffic on the B-Line and children at the playground. This motorcycle should be ticketed and removed from the park. It's not allowed on the trails and is being operated recklessly.
On South Dunn St. Jay’s food truck is setup on a yellow curb.
The image is one of the sycamore trees planted along Madison, where the planter space is being outgrown. It appears that the metal sides of the box could be removed, and some bricks as well, to give the trees space to continue to grow. The trees are really an asset, and I hope that the arborist team can help keep them healthy. Just FYI!
Did the Graduate hotel also reach an agreement with the church to the north across the street (first Christian church) for their liquor license, that church also being within 200 feet of the premises? (See case 208989)
My understanding is that this establishment is not legally allowed to have a liquor license due to their proximity to a church. The HPC rejected their application to become an historic district, and they have no other avenues to legally sell alcohol I am aware of. Please let me know if I am mistaken, or if they are flagrantly violating the law.
