I scheduled a branch appointment for a name change. Per the email confirmation, I was to proceed to…read morethe customer service desk upon my arrival. I did not see any area labeled as such. There was a desk dedicated to those with Drive Test appointments, but that was it. I went to that unmanned desk and noticed a representative/supervisor standing nearby. She saw me but didn't acknowledge me. Other reps were looking at me as well, but none of them attempted to assist me, as they were assisting other customers. I moved down, behind the customer that was being helped by a rep and the supervisory person. I hated standing behind that individual conducting personal business, but I didn't see any other way to get the supervisor's attention. She continued to ignore me until I said, "Excuse me." From that point forward, the interaction was perfection. She asked what type of appointment I had and called for the next available CSR (customer service representative). A few moments later, a nearby rep stated that she was almost finished, to which the supervisor responded something to the effect of, you have to slow down, "I'm only one person." That's when I noticed the banner stating that they were hiring. I snapped a photo for my daughter to apply. The rep clarified that she didn't need help, but that she would be the next available CSR! Shortly thereafter, I was called up for my appointment. The name change was smooth and required minimal documents. They also updated my voter registration and offered to renew my vehicle registration at that time as well. Once I sat down, I was done within 10-15 minutes. The initial interaction was a little off-putting, but ultimately, they got me taken care of quickly and efficiently.

I'm a disabled veteran and I can always use the help when trying to make sense of how my property tax is determined and what is deductible. The Indiana legislature just modified how deductions are calculated for disabled veterans and honestly I was not able to discern how the modification affected me. They took the time to explain the changes and that made all the difference. I only hope someone in that office sees this review and tells the others. Your kindness and compassion makes a challenging life a little easier. Thank you.

I got that dreaded letter in the mail recently: I was being summoned for jury duty! Because I'm a…read moreresident of Hamilton County, I had to report to this particular court house. My experience being called for jury duty was fine. The people who work here are very professional and efficient. The building itself is beautiful. If you do have to serve on a jury and spend some time here, there are lots of restaurant options to choose from. I ended up being dismissed before lunch. Keep in mind that they don't allow you to park outside of the courthouse itself. There's a free parking garage a block away at which jurors are instructed to park. I would add an additional 10 minutes to your trip to find parking and walk to the courthouse. It's not far away, but there's a traffic light that takes a while. Also keep in mind: Before you enter the courthouse, you have to walk through a body scanner and empty your pockets. It's very easy but also kind of a pain, but I guess it's necessary in these strange and unpredictable times.

I know that commenting about a police department is NOT normal fair for Yelp, but I must say that…read morethe police here in Carmel, IN, ARE, in my opinion, the epitome of what most towns SHOULD have as their primary law enforcement organization. Unfortunately, I have "learned" more in recent years about how this particular department operates because of difficulties I have gotten MYSELF into as I have chosen to "help" people that I am really NOT qualified to help. In other worrds, I have gotten myself in over my head and my efforts to stay in control of my own life HAVE BEEN, at times, less than successful. But this is not about ME, other than to say that I have be en on "the other side" of some situations that really have gotten out of control. And I want to say that, should one ever find themselves faced with an "incident" in Carmel, Indiana, and should the police ever need to be involved, you can expect nothing but the most professional, diplomatic and, if they are ever given the chance, caring approach to law enforcement anyone anywhere has the right to expect. I would mention some individual officers by name if I could remember names. But they are, at least in my humbling experience, all like that! First rate! And that is all I have to say!

As a first-time visitor of this library, the librarian at the checkout desk was super friendly and helpful. She gave me a rundown of the library and let me know where the rooms were that I could use for studying. She greeted me before I greeted her, as well as the few of the other employees there. This library is huge, and beautiful. there is even a fireplace area where you can sit and read. And a teen area specifically for teens to study or check out books. as well as a children's area and several meeting rooms. The best feature for me was the semi-private, individual study rooms. These are first come first serve and can seat up to four people. I will be back again!

Living in Indy my main reason to visit Carmel are the many restaurants here.

Let's be honest. It's pretty easy (and fun) to make fun of Carmel, the growing urban city to the…read morenorth of Indy that is lower in crime, higher in income, and generally on way more "best city" lists than Indy will ever be. Yes, Carmel has a ridiculous amount of roundabouts. Yes, Carmel has a ridiculous amount of public art within those roundabouts. Yes, Carmel is more conservative than Indy politically. I'll even admit that I'm not particularly fond of the city center area and to this day I think that the Center for Performing Arts dropped the ball on accessibility concerns (though is improving). But, okay. When Carmel develops something, they maintain it (I'm looking at you Indy). The Monon Trail in Carmel is awesome. The Christkindlmarkt is nationally recognized for good reasons. There's a strong emphasis on quality of life in Carmel including abundant greenspaces and fitness options. Accessibility? While not perfect (again, looking at you Center for Performing Arts), it's pretty amazingly consistent and a definite emphasis (though I'll admit that I find Fishers even stronger). Whenever I find my Tenderness Tour wheeling through Carmel? I can nearly always get city leaders engaged. In Indy? Maybe. Maybe not. Hotels here are pretty awesome (though Carmel could use more affordable options). After many years under the leadership of Jim Brainard, Carmel elected Sue Finkam as mayor their last time around and, as expected, she's shaken things up a bit. The park system - wonderful. Again, maintained FAR better than Indy. City services seem strong - I can typically drive in Carmel during the winter even after a snow. The city is always clean. Are there issues? Of course. But, there's an awful lot to love about Carmel. But yeah, I'm still going to make fun of it.
