TOGETHER WITH

Happy Thursday… although at this point, who even knows what day it is after three straight snow days, subzero wind chills, and a calendar that feels like it’s stuck on repeat. We’re officially living in a freezer, and I’m not sure which version of Indiana this is, but I’d like to speak to the manager.

Bundle up, double-check events before heading out (if you dare), and hang in there. Warmer days have to be out there somewhere… right?

In today’s South Side Scoop:

Let’s get to it!

From stick vacs to smart robots, eufy brings award-winning innovation to your floors—so you can kick back and actually enjoy your clean home.

Our current obsession? The eufy 3-in-1 Robot Vacuum E20—a CES Innovation Award winner that vacuums, sweeps, and self-empties without clogging or tangling. With up to 30,000 Pa of suction, auto-empty tech, pet-friendly obstacle avoidance, and flash charging, it’s like hiring a robot butler (minus the small talk).

After this weekend’s snowstorm, the Southport Wrestling team was spotted all over Perry Township, but not just for fun. Led by Coach Nick Skinner, the team shoveled driveways to help residents dig out while raising money to cover their off-season expenses. Several neighbors shared their appreciation in the Perry Township chat, thanking the team for their hard work. A great example of hustle, heart, and community spirit from these student-athletes!

A new slice of home is coming to Greenwood! Pizza Town USA is opening a second location in the Sugar Grove Shops at 4800 Smith Valley Road bringing their beloved pies to the community. They're aiming to open around the second week of March and will be taking applications next Monday and Tuesday if you’re looking to join the team. Keep your eyes (and appetites) open because this local favorite is about to make Center Grove even tastier!

Noodles & Company in Franklin will permanently close its doors on Tuesday, February 3rd. Located at 2182 North Morton Street, the restaurant is among ~30 locations being closed nationwide as part of the company’s strategic restructuring plan. In a press release, CEO Joe Christina stated the closures are meant to “strengthen the overall health of the brand” and focus on restaurants with the strongest potential for growth. While it's tough to see a local favorite go, this move is part of the chain's broader plan to position itself for long-term success.
