A SECOND HOME
FINDING COMMUNITY IN AN UNEXPECTED PLACE
Writer & Photographer / Abbie Willans
For some people, McAlister’s is just another restaurant near Hamilton Town Center, but for others, it’s a family- and budget-friendly place to eat. No one loves it as much as Erik Longenecker and his family. For them, it has become almost a second home — a place to make friends, connect with their community and give back.
Longenecker and his wife, Ashley, have been coming to McAlister’s since 2013, before their children were born. They could walk to McAlister’s from their home, and Longenecker spent many late nights there working on his master’s thesis or grading
papers. The couple would have board game nights at the restaurant before his wife had to go to work as a night shift nurse. They’d split a meal or an iced tea, and it was something that could fit into their budget with student loans.
“My wife and I backpacked over Europe, and we always liked the café style there, especially in Paris,” he says. “Late evening on Sunday, they’re not getting ready for the workweek like Americans do — they’re up til 11 at night socializing. We always loved that, and we missed that in the U.S.”
McAlister’s gives that to them, with a space outside of home or work to meet new people and make real connections.
“If you come here long enough, they get to know you and you become a regular,” he says.
They met other regulars at the restaurant — an older couple named Kenny and Sandy — who would become like second grandparents to the Longeneckers’ children. They connected over board games, and in time, Kenny introduced Erik to volunteering at the food pantry at Third Phase, Inc.
Service and helping others has always been an important part of community building for Longenecker. As a teacher, he and his students wrote letters to a former McAlister’s employee who was going through basic training. Once he became an assistant principal, he wrote letters of recommendation for McAlister’s employees who were applying for college. He started career technical education programs at his school to help non-collegebound students obtain work experience.
One of the companies that helped train those students was Armor Air, a local Noblesville HVAC business that shared his vision. The partnership eventually turned into a career change for Longenecker.
“I fell in love with what Armor Air was doing for my kids who needed it the most,” he says. “They offered me a job to work there and build up the class program at other schools, as well as marketing and sales.”
When McAlister’s air conditioning went out, Longenecker’s connection with Armor Air was able to quickly resolve the issue, and he hopes to continue growing the relationship between the two companies.
Despite being a national chain, McAlister’s in Noblesville has been an example of how community can come from anywhere — not necessarily because of the brand, but because of the individual people who go above and beyond to help each other.
“Ask yourself where you live and where you consistently go as touchpoints to find a second place outside your house and develop a community around that,” Longenecker says. “Don’t be afraid to go to new places and have conversations with people, and get to know them.”

STRENGTH THROUGH COMMUNITY
Bushido Jiu-Jitsu Zionsville is where great instruction meets an even greater community.
Owner and Head Instructor John Parson developed the academy around a clear mission: to help people grow — physically, mentally and personally — through their jiu-jitsu and MMA experience. After recognizing the need for a different kind of training environment in the area, his vision quickly took shape.
“My goal is to create a teaching environment, a place that lifts people up,
not breaks them down,” Parson says. “There is a stigma behind combat sports. Here, it’s more about self-defense skills, discipline and continuous growth. It’s a welcoming environment, people find community here.”
Bushido delivers a state-of-the-art martial arts training experience focused on Brazilian jiu-jitsu, submission grappling and Muay Thai/kickboxing classes for students of any age, level or background. The academy’s focus on discipline, respect and continuous improvement creates a culture where beginners, hobbyists and competitive athletes all feel supported.
When Parson expanded from a 1,000-square-foot gym to a customdesigned 6,000-square-foot facility in 2023, student interest surged. Every detail of Bushido reflects his commitment to excellent instruction and a motivational environment.
Parson prioritized providing premium equipment, ample space and high-level coaching because he believes students
deserve the best. One standout feature is the academy’s Fuji double-spring subfloor mat system — the same standard found in Olympic training centers and top-tier professional academies.
Bushido celebrated its grand opening on November 17, 2025, welcoming Travis Stevens — a three-time Olympian, 2016 silver medalist in judo, BJJ black belt and one of the most respected coaches in the world.
Parson is a former student of Stevens and reconnected with him to invite him for the event, which featured teaching, training and conversation.
“As someone who has trained all over the world — with Olympic teams, world-class jiu-jitsu academies and elite competitors — I can tell you without hesitation that Bushido Jiu-Jitsu Zionsville is the real deal,” Stevens says. “The culture here is what every academy should strive for: disciplined, hardworking and welcoming. The students show up ready to learn, they train with intention and they push each other without ego. That’s rare. The coaching is technical, detailed and aligned with what actually
works at the highest levels.... Whether you’re a kid, a hobbyist or an aspiring competitor, this team knows how to elevate your skill set and your mindset.”
Some students travel an hour or more to train at Bushido Jiu-Jitsu Zionsville. Adults appreciate the state-of-the-art instruction and the camaraderie they find there, while parents praise the academy’s balance of technique, encouragement and life-skill development for their kids.
Here are some of what Bushido students and parents say:
“After nearly a year of training at Bushido Jiu-Jitsu, I can wholeheartedly say it has been an incredible and transformative experience ... This academy offers so much more than just jiu-jitsu; it’s a place of genuine growth, both physically and mentally.”
“We’ve been coming to Bushido for about 7 months, and my energetic 8-year-old has learned so much. Beyond the jiu-jitsu skills, he’s developed greater discipline and self-control — which, in my opinion, is even more valuable. John and the entire coaching staff are friendly, supportive and fantastic
with the kids.”
“You will come for the jiu-jitsu and stay because of the people.”
Bushido Jiu-Jitsu Zionsville has quickly become a local gem. It’s a place where people feel supported, empowered and connected — a true asset for Zionsville and the region.

TRAVEL TRANSFORMED
LOCAL ADVISOR EXPANDS HER PASSION FOR PLANNING
Writer / Kelsey Musick
After more than 30 years in the hospitality industry, Kim Lyons knows what it takes to deliver exceptional service and unforgettable experiences.
“For the last 13 years, I’ve balanced a successful career owning and operating a Cruise Planners franchise, working part-time to help clients plan their ideal vacations worldwide,” Lyons says.
Cruise Planners is a travel agency franchise network that primarily operates in the United States. Franchise owners, often referred to as travel advisors, can run their businesses from home without
needing a physical storefront.
According to Lyons, a travel advisor’s day-to-day work can vary depending on their focus—leisure, corporate or specialty travel— but generally includes client consultations, research and planning, quotes and itineraries, booking and coordination, client support, administrative tasks, marketing and networking, and ongoing education.
Lyons is now preparing to retire from her full-time position and dive wholeheartedly into her passion—turning travel dreams into reality.
“My transition to working full-time in travel marks not just a new chapter in my career, but a continuation of my lifelong commitment to creating memorable experiences for others,” she says.
With decades of expertise and a personal touch that comes from what she refers to as her ability to truly understand people, Lyons is dedicated to crafting journeys that reflect each traveler’s unique interests and style.
“The majority of my clients are based in Indiana, but my professional network and prior work connections have allowed me to build relationships with clients across the country,” she says. “Thanks to the comprehensive tools and resources provided by Cruise Planners, I’m able to assist clients from any location.”
Lyons ensures every client receives personalized attention and a smooth, convenient planning experience, whether through phone, email or video conferencing.
“One of the most memorable trips I’ve planned was a 10-day honeymoon to South Africa,” Lyons says. “It was a customized journey from Cape Town to Port Elizabeth, filled with incredible experiences along the way.”
While in Cape Town, Lyons says her clients explored the vibrant wine country, ascended Table Mountain and even went cage diving with sharks.
“They also traveled to Oudtshoorn, where they visited an ostrich farm and a big cat sanctuary,” Lyons adds. “Their next stop was Plettenberg Bay, where they enjoyed an overnight stay and some sightseeing along the stunning coast. The trip concluded in Port
Elizabeth, where they took a Mosaic City and Township tour, went on a marine safari to see humpback whales, dolphins, seals and black-footed penguins, and capped it all off with an unforgettable Big Five safari.”
Lyons says that her business is 45% cruising, 42% land packages and 13% a combination of air, hotels, excursions and car rentals. For more information, visit cruiseplanners.com or contact Lyons at kim.lyons@cruiseplanners.com.

The Power of Place
MAIN STREETS ACROSS BOONE COUNTY
Across Boone County, three Main Street organizations: Heart of Lebanon, Main Street Zionsville, and the Jamestown Community Partnership, are demonstrating how local Main Street programs can act as coordinated engines of economic vitality, community engagement, and historic preservation. These organizations are illustrating models of place-based development that sustain small business ecosystems and preserve the distinct character of each community.
The Heart of Lebanon, a nationally accredited Main Street program established in 2015, has been central to Lebanon’s downtown transformation. Following the $11 million Courthouse Square renovation in 2019, the organization’s efforts have catalyzed more than $16 million in additional public and private investment. Since then, the downtown district has welcomed 37 new businesses, including seven restaurants and ten retailers. These ventures have created significant employment opportunities and renewed vitality in the county seat.
Beyond economic metrics, Heart of
Lebanon’s emphasis on design, promotion, and organization has produced a thriving calendar of community events and public art initiatives that reinforce local pride. Ongoing redevelopment of historic structures along South and North Lebanon Streets illustrates the group’s continuing impact on the built environment and housing availability downtown.
In Zionsville, the establishment of Main Street Zionsville in March 2025 marked an important expansion of the county’s revitalization framework. Businesses within the district collectively employ nearly 1,200 people, and by the end of 2025, eleven new storefront openings or expansions are anticipated. With more than 180 merchants participating in shared beautification and marketing initiatives, Zionsville is integrating economic development and cultural expression. Events such as the Art Walk and Mingle on Main showcase the district’s creative energy and preserve the architectural charm that defines its historic core. Complementary beautification initiatives, including the installation of a locomotive-themed mural and upgraded streetscape lighting, strengthen Zionsville’s
identity as a local center of activity and a regional point of attraction.
The Jamestown Community Partnership is another important example of local engagement. The organization promotes economic development and quality of life. Projects like the restoration of the Main Street Pizza King building, supported by the “180 Makeover” grant, highlight tangible results of collaborative investment in community renewal. Through regular meetings and volunteer participation, the partnership continues to foster smallbusiness resilience and civic involvement in Jamestown’s downtown core.
What connects these three efforts is a shared philosophy: that strong downtowns form the foundation of sustainable economic growth. In Boone County, one of Indiana’s fastest-growing regions, these programs balance modernization with heritage. Main Street organizations excel by coordinating resources, supporting entrepreneurship, and elevating civic pride. Boone County’s Main Street organizations exemplify how local leadership can collectively shape a prosperous and culturally cohesive future.

SWEET NEW CHAPTER
TRUFFLES & CREAMS CHOCOLATIER
WELCOMES FRESH OWNERSHIP
Writer & Photographer / Stephanie Duncan
Truffles & Creams Chocolatier in Zionsville is still creating delectable sweets and treats, with a new passionate owner, Travis Moss, at the helm.
The cozy chocolate shop, located at 55 East Pine Street in the heart of downtown Zionsville, is sporting a new hanging sign. Still, Moss is continuing the tradition of handcrafting delicious truffles and other chocolate confections.
When the opportunity arose to own a candy shop, Travis and his wife saw only potential in continuing something special that the original owners, Natasha and Sergi Hobyadinov, had built over the past seven years. Before they left, they taught Travis how to use the equipment and make all their signature recipes as well.
Travis had no previous experience making truffles or working with chocolate. Still, he has learned quickly since taking over the business in August and is already incorporating a few new flavors into the menu. Having this new stability has been a welcome change for him and his family.
“I’ve done carpentry, construction, and worked in kitchens before, and I was a truck driver for 10 years,” he says. “I just wanted out of a truck.”
During his truck driving shifts, he’d drive through small towns and think about what life was like. Now, he’s fallen in love with Zionsville and has been so appreciative of the community support.
“I’m literally living a dream,” he says.
“There’s not a bad day in a chocolate shop.”
Along with the brightly lit displays of their chocolate creations, Travis loves supporting other local businesses and makers in the community. Upon entering the shop, a thoughtfully decorated corner is filled with handmade, crocheted creations for sale by a resident.
He makes just about everything in-house and recently added handcrafted chocolate bars to the lineup. His wife works as an administrative director a street away, and Travis values that they get to spend more time together. In her free time, she also enjoys creating candy bar labels and thinking up new flavors, including names like Polar Crunch and Sweater Weather.
Some of the owner’s must-try flavors range from traditional to surprising.
“I’m addicted to our turtles,” he says. “Our turtles are the best thing. I’m down
to two a day.”
The turtles come in dark chocolate and milk chocolate and are approximately the size of a hand, with a generous amount of gooey caramel and nuts.
“As far as truffles go … the tea almond is really good,” he adds.
The unique truffle flavor packs a punch with a delicious dark chocolate shell filled with a smooth and rich black tea and almond-flavored ganache. Other popular flavors include bourbon, cayenne cinnamon, chocolate lavender and a new flavor, cookie butter.
With the holiday season in full swing, Travis is embracing his first busy season with open arms. You can purchase different varieties of truffles, caramels, turtles and more online at trufflesandcreams.com or stop by and shop in person! They are open Tuesday through Sunday.
