Banning tents in parks, Sullivan tornado recovery, music academy finds home | Indiana Newsdesk

Coming up on  Indiana Newsdesk:

A new rule is in effect that bans tents and enclosed structures from Bloomington city parks during the daytime. The city says the new measure is due to safety and health concerns in public areas.

The road to recovery in Sullivan five months after a tornado tore through the town is proving to be a long and expensive one. Officials estimate they’ll need six to seven million dollars for recovery efforts.

And a Bloomington couple running a music academy out of their residence the past seven years have found a home on the city’s south side.

Those stories and the latest news headlines from across the state, Friday at 6 on  Indiana Newsdesk.
