  1. Could anyone have been bothered to talk to the Indianapolis based shops to see what they’re experiencing?
    Or was it far more important to report on spartzballs like the star does?

    1. It was a reprint from national AP, not local reporting. I’m sure there is always a trade-off between offering more content overall and assigning staff to provide the local angle.
