Good morning, Fort Wayne.
🏘️ Community
Residents have started a petition asking Fort Wayne leaders to deny QuikTrip’s plan to build a new gas station northeast of I-69 and Coldwater Road due to concerns over increased traffic, pollution, and noise.
Some neighbors suggest it could bring jobs + fuel and food options in the area.

Two Bluffton-Harrison teachers received nearly $5,000 in grants to support hands-on cooking lessons for their classes.
Erica Swanson and Joe Becker will use the funds (a $500 and a $4,725 grant) to buy supplies and fund field trips that build practical life skills.
📰 Real Estate
A former nurses home on Van Buren Street across from Lutheran Downtown Hospital has been restored and is now open as apartments.
