INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Tucked away between East 46th Street and North Keystone Avenue, sits the Abbie Hunt Bryce Home. The home cares for the terminally ill at no cost to those in need.

The Abbie Hunt Bryce Home is run by nonprofit Morning Light, Inc. and is the second largest like it in the country, following one home located in New York City.

It’s been around for twenty years and overall, has cared for 900 people in need. It receives no government funding and partners with local hospitals and hospices to care for 12 people at a time.

Each resident receives a private room with Jack-and-Jill bathrooms, direct access to a large garden, access to kitchens, living rooms, and family spaces. Staff at the house provides full time care to each of the residents and leadership aims to ensure staff is well taken care of, too.

“So they come and they stay here for absolutely zero dollars,” Morning Light’s Executive Director Madison Wood-Gonzalez said. “We are free, completely community supported, we don’t require insurance, or any sort of payment.”

87-year-old Lola Tinsley is experiencing that care and says she is endlessly grateful.

“It’s like living in town in an apartment, like having your own private little place,” Tinsley said.

Tinsley was born and raised in the Indianapolis area and is a mom of seven. She was once a homeowner and General Motors employee, before financial devastation struck.

Tinsley, who is terminally ill, says she lost much of her savings in a banking scam. The scam left her with few housing options she could afford.

That’s when the Abbie Hunt Bryce Home stepped in.

Thanks to the home, Tinsley is receiving end of life care for free in front of a serene backdrop.

“Something that sets us apart is everyone’s room opens up to the back garden, which is a beautiful space, and something that you don’t really get at a hospital, or a nursing home,” Wood-Gonzalez said.

As an avid animal lover, Tinsley is especially grateful.

“But you can see out the back how beautiful it is,” Tinsley said. “I can watch the wildlife and the squirrels. See them play and birds flying.”

As the home’s wait list grows, so does their need for support.

There are several ways for people to get involved, including becoming a Memory Maker Sponsor, which helps grant a hospice resident’s last wish. There are also several volunteer and donation opportunities.

A pair of sophomore signal-callers will look to get their season started on the right foot when the Houston Texans (0-0) visit the Indianapolis Colts (0-0).

The hype in Houston is reaching astronomical levels after it went from No. 2 pick in the 2023 NFL Draft to winning the AFC South. C.J. Stroud proved he is one of the fastest-rising quarterbacks in the league, and with Stefon Diggs joining the squad, there are expectations of another playoff run.

Indianapolis was one game away from winning the division, falling to the Texans in Week 18 and missing the playoffs. Still, there’s some buzz going on with the Colts with Anthony Richardson back from injury and out to prove he’s one of the next great young quarterbacks against a divisional foe.

Lorenzo Reyes: Texans 21, Colts 20

This should be a tough, highly-contested game. Frankly, it’s going to come down to where Anthony Richardson is after spending most of his rookie season sidelined. Houston should take the next step under C.J. Stroud and coach Demo Ryans, but the Colts are a sneaky good team. Playing at home, against a division rival, I think this is a potential upset spot, so I like the Texans on the moneyline with Indy covering as a hedge.

Tyler Dragon: Texans 27, Colts 21

This matchup features two of the most exciting young QBs in the game. C.J. Stroud and Anthony Richardson will both make impressive plays in this AFC South dual, but Stroud has the better all-around team. Stefon Diggs and Joe Mixon are going to make Houston’s offense more potent.

Safid Deen: Texans 27, Colts 23

Houston put the NFL on notice with its playoff run last season, setting the stage for C.J. Stroud’s second season. The Texans are loaded on offense, and appear primed for a Super Bowl run. And a close win over their division rivals will be a nice start of the season for the Texans.

Richard Morin: Texans 31, Colts 28

I think this one could be a bit of a shootout. It’s one of the few games on the calendar I think is a good candidate for the over.

Jordan Mendoza: Texans 24, Colts 22

Houston has all the momentum in the world to propel it toward another division title. The offense will be exciting to watch, but the Colts also have a plethora of talent going under the radar. Expect this game to come down to the very end, with the Texans sneaking out of Indianapolis with a victory.

MOST VALUABLE BET: Who is the favorite to win NFL MVP in 2024? 

National discount retailer Burlington Stores Inc. plans to open a location in downtown Indianapolis on Friday, the retailer announced Tuesday.

The 23,000-square-foot store will take over space in the lower level of Claypool Court previously occupied by the Rhythm! Discovery Center.

IBJ first revealed Burlington’s downtown plans in March.

New Jersey-based Burlington operates more than 1,020 department stores in 46 states, including eight stores in central Indiana. The state will be home to 19 Burlington stores after the opening.

Ownership of Claypool Court, a retail and hotel center at 110 W. Washington St., said the new Burlington store should benefit from activity at the intersection of Washington and Illinois streets.

Thanks to downtown’s skywalk system, Claypool Court connects to attractions such as the Indianapolis Artsgarden, Circle Centre Mall and Indiana Convention Center.

The new store will be open from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Saturday and from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Sundays.

Burlington’s business model is based on selling brand-name products at prices significantly lower than other retailers.

The leading corporation in the discount retailer field is TJX Companies Inc., which includes the T.J. Maxx, Marshalls and HomeGoods brands, and is made up of more than 4,000 stores. A T.J. Maxx store, 50 N. Illinois St., is also a tenant in Claypool Court and less than a block north of the new Burlington spot.

Other retail tenants in Claypool Court are Weber Grill Restaurant, Panera Bread and steakhouse Tony’s of Indianapolis.

Rhythm! Discovery Center, an interactive drum and percussion museum, opened in the lower level of Claypool Court in 2009 and closed in March 2023 after a burst water pipe caused damage to the museum’s exhibit space. A new location for Rhythm! Discovery Center has yet to be announced.

Before the drum and percussion museum opened, Simon Property Group maintained offices at Claypool Court’s lower level for about a decade.

In the 1980s and early ’90s, Indianapolis-based clothing store L. Strauss & Co. occupied the lower level of Claypool Court.

Burlington, which traces its roots to 1924 as a wholesaler, began retailing as Burlington Coat Factory in 1972 and rebranded simply as Burlington Stores in 2014 to reflect its broader product mix.

The chain was once known for its big-box stores, with new locations averaging more than 50,000 square feet up until 2017, when it began concentrating on smaller-format outlets. By 2022, Burlington’s new stores averaged just 28,000 square feet.

The company reported fiscal 2023 sales of $9.7 billion, up 12% from the previous year, and a full-year profit of $339.6 million, up 48%.
