Part 2 of 3:

A homeowners association agreed to support certain quarry mining approvals and Martin Marietta promised up to $150,000 in return.

In Part 2 of my Carmel Quarry Investigation we're examining documents from 2008 involving Martin Marietta, the Kingswood Homeowners Association, and the City of Carmel.

The agreements included promised financial contributions, restrictions on HOA opposition, negotiated mining protections, and environmental monitoring requirements. There were even provisions involving land near a mining-created lake.

Did the monitoring and risk assessments keep up with the growth happening around the quarry?

Next in Part 3: The 2026 flood, the risks facing homeowners, and why an Indiana disaster-mitigation consultant believes the safeguards may not have kept pace with Carmel's growth.

Before the midway this was farmland.

The Indiana State Fair began in 1852, but its familiar home on 38th Street didn’t open until 1892. Since then these grounds have hosted agricultural competitions, the Beatles, the Indiana Pacers, and generations of Hoosier family traditions.

Here’s the history behind a place so many of us grew up visiting. What’s your favorite fairgrounds memory?

Did you know that 146th Street and Gray Road was once home to an entire little community?

Long before this became one of Hamilton County's busy intersections Quaker settlers established a community called East Branch.
There was a church, school, cemetery, sawmill, blacksmith shop, and eventually a post office.

In 1889 the community became known as Gray.
Today Gray Friends Church and the cemetery are among the few surviving reminders of that forgotten settlement.

With future road improvements being studied at this intersection the historic cemetery is specifically identified in county planning documents.

I'm taking you back to the 1850s to explore the families, land records, and history behind this little church.

Part 1 of 3

Did you know Carmel signed a $2.4 MILLION agreement in 1997 that included mining rights beneath Hazel Dell Parkway lasting up to 90 years?

As neighborhoods grew around the Martin Marietta mining operation homeowners began pushing back. Lawsuits followed, Carmel tried to impose new mining regulations, and the disputes eventually reached federal court and the Indiana Supreme Court.

Some of the beautiful lakes in this part of Carmel originated from earlier mining. I'm breaking down the actual court records, the history behind the quarry, and how these agreements connect to the questions residents are asking after the August 2026 flood.

In Part 2, we're looking at the 2008 settlements, including an agreement involving up to $150,000 for a nearby homeowners association.

Before Twin Peaks on 82nd Street there was Loon Lake Lodge. Before Loon Lake Lodge, there was Laughner’s Super Cafeteria.

Those last two restaurants shared something besides a building: the Laughner family.

Their Indianapolis restaurant story began with a candy shop in 1888 and continued through generations of cafeteria meals, suburban expansion, and a wilderness-themed Castleton restaurant.

Did you eat at Laughner’s or Loon Lake Lodge? Tell me what you remember especially your favorite thing on the cafeteria line!

Before Waterstone became a collection of beautiful waterfront communities near 116th /126th Street and Gray Road the surrounding landscape looked VERY different!

Historical plat maps show that American Aggregates Corporation owned hundreds of acres in the area during the 1970s and 1980s.
Aerial photographs from 1981 show what appears to be excavation activity before the neighborhood was developed!

A federal court ruling from 2007 confirms that lakes left behind by former mining and reclamation operations became centerpieces of several residential neighborhoods in Carmel!
By 1994 development plans for Bayhill and Brookfield at Waterstone were underway.

Today the community is known for its beautiful homes and Lake Waterstone.

It's amazing how dramatically a landscape can change in just a few decades!
-Does anyone remember the gravel operations?
-Did you live in Carmel before Bayhill was built?
-Does anyone have photographs of this area during the 1970s or 1980s?

I have some WILD and crazy real estate stories I’m
going to start telling you!

Here’s one from when I first started out in real estate 😆😆😆😆😳

10/24/2026

On October 1st I emailed the EPA and copied the City of Noblesville, Ind. with three questions about the former Firestone property.
As of October 21st, I haven't received answers.
Here's what I'm asking:
1. How frequently is the site monitored to ensure the PCB cleanup measures are still working?
2. What containment system protects the approximately 7,750 drums documented in historical EPA records? Is there a protective cap or liner?
3. How often is groundwater tested near the former drum landfill and what do the latest results show about contamination moving beyond that area?
The EPA acknowledges that the property contains historic landfills, that groundwater contamination occurred, and that monitoring continues.

I'm not suggesting that monitoring isn't being performed. I'm asking for the documentation showing what's being done and what the results are.

This property is part of Noblesville's history and I believe residents deserve accessible information about its environmental future.

On September 8, 1995 Circle Centre Mall opened in downtown Indianapolis after years of delays, demolished historic buildings, and more than $300 million in construction costs!

Remember Nordstrom, Parisian, The Disney Store, FAO Schwarz, Warner Bros. Studio Store, Sam Goody, and the movie theater?! For years, this was THE place to go shopping, hang out with friends, and spend a Saturday afternoon!

But after losing Nordstrom in 2011 and Carson's in 2018 the mall struggled to hold onto its former popularity. By the end of 2025, the enclosed mall era was officially over.

Now the property is being transformed into a roughly $600 million mixed-use development called Traction Yards.

Several historic downtown buildings were demolished to make room for the original mall!

So I want to know...
-What was your FAVORITE store at Circle Centre?
-Where did you like to eat?
-And do you think Indianapolis should have saved the mall?
