Two unknown individuals in a white rental camper van approached my running vehicle while my children were inside. They attempted to turn off the engine and physically touched the vehicle door and power button. I was inside a store briefly, and when I came out, they were interacting with my car in a suspicious manner. The behavior was threatening, unsafe, and created fear for the safety of my children.
This happened outside of Buddhist gift shop in front of gift shop here in Bloomington. These 2 individuals are a couple about 170 lbs for the male and 150 for the female. Both light skin with sunglasses on and wouldn’t take off their sunglasses when I approached them to ask what they were doing in my car when my daughter called me. I drove away immediately after I confronted them they were kind of evil laughing when I asked them why they touched my vehicle. Lady was laughing and wouldn’t turn around to speak. They were eating noodles and claimed to be concerned about my vehicle motor smell from muffler. They ranted “I can’t understand you Americans” when I asked why would they approach my vehicle with my children inside. They had a rental white camper van labeled rental on it.

Go to the intersection of Woodlawn and Grimes. Then, head north maybe 20 to 40 feet, and look at the western edge of the road. A large hole has opened up creating danger for cyclists and vehicles. This could use some patch work.
Traffic Suggestions

Maybe it is just me, but it seems like installing signs and marking the new speed bumps on S. Washington would be a smart idea. The bumps that were installed blend in perfectly to the existing pavement, the paint is woefully inadequate to be visible under any conditions, and there are no signs indicating that there are bumps. People are being taken for quite the ride thanks to another phenomenal job by the city with a poorly implemented traffic calming device.

MSI Security guard drove unsafely on the trail. He drove over the yellow line and nearly hit an oncoming trail user. Those security people drive like bullies on the B-line trail.

This is NOT a Duke light. It doesn't have a Duke number and is NOT on a Duke pole. The light is actually around the corner on Thornton Drive and does not work. The Thornton/Oxford intersection is very dark

Fire Hazards
2001 E Hillside Dr
- Case Date:

Four hours of smoke now from someone who seems to burn leaves in Stiers Park (sort of a tiny gated community). The location is right near High Street and Viva. And has to be awful for people just east of the burn. Two houses to the north, we get a lot of smoke in our windows. Everything withing a quarter mile has a smoke smell.
It may have been the same household last weekend. And in previous years.
My understanding is that burning is not permitted in Bloomington (and most municipalities), except for pit fires.
I wasn't sure whether to report it to the Fire Dept. or Police. It is a health hazard. It is also a nuisance. And though it seems to be tended, it's not the safest thing in the world.
