Burgerhaus Now Open on the Canal Walk
The Canal Walk in downtown Indianapolis now has a new dining option with the opening of Burgerhaus in the ground level of the Nine on Canal high-rise community. Opening as the second location for the Valparaiso-based eatery, the menu showcases the concept of what happens when International tastes meet an American tradition including salads, sandwiches and burgers.
“We have food that is the finest in the known world and our Haus fries are so good they are accepted as currency,” said Evan Costas, co-owner and founder of Burgerhaus. “Our succulent beef patties are a fresh-never-frozen custom blend of the finest meat cuts, infused with savory seasonings from around the Earth.”
In a long-term partnership with nonprofit Kids Alive, Burgerhaus contributes 38 cents for every burger sold each month, helping to provide a balanced meal for a hungry child. Currently, the focus is in the Karundas-area of central-Kenya where Kids Alive has a school and provides meals as part of the school day. For many of these children, ages 4 to 14, this is the only full meal they get each day. To date, the partnership has resulted in 25,257 meals served, a number the Burgerhaus team hopes continues to grow.
“Giving back is an important part of our mission,” said Matthew Kennedy, general manager of Burgerhaus. “We’ve chosen to make caring a part of our business and helping to feed a child in need only makes sense.”
Located at 335 W. 9th St., Suite D, Indianapolis, Ind. 46202, parking is available in the Nine on Canal garage with direct access to the restaurant in addition to on Senate Avenue or 9th Street.
Hours of operation are 11 a.m. – 10 p.m. Sunday – Thursday and 11 a.m. – 11 p.m. on Friday and Saturday. For more information, visit Indy.BurgerhausRestaurants.com.
Mosquitoes Carrying West Nile Virus Found in Marion County
The Marion County Public Health Department has documented the first mosquitoes of the season carrying West Nile virus. West Nile virus in mosquitoes is usually first detected in Marion County during the month of July.
No human cases of the virus have been reported in Marion County this year.
Most people who become infected with West Nile virus do not develop any symptoms. People with certain medical conditions, such as cancer, diabetes and kidney disease are at greater risk experiencing symptoms which include headache, body aches, joint pains or rash. Less than one percent of people who are infected will develop a serious neurologic illness such as encephalitis or meningitis.
The Marion County Public Health Department reminds everyone to observe the four Ds of mosquito control to stay protected from bites:
- DUSK – Stay indoors from dusk until dawn.
- DRESS – Wear long sleeves and long pants when outside during these times.
- DEET – Use insect repellent containing DEET.
- DRAINAGE – Remove all standing water outside the home.
Residents should dump standing water in containers of any size and flush out bird baths every week. Even small amounts of standing water are a potential mosquito breeding ground. Check for unused tires, clogged gutters, small recreational pools and poorly operating septic systems.
The sample of mosquitoes testing positive came from a surveillance trap located in Washington Township. Traps are located throughout the county to monitor the local mosquito population and test for West Nile virus.
No deaths from West Nile virus were reported in Marion County in 2013.

Following last weekend’s victories by both the Tornado Sirens and Warning Belles (Naptown’s B-team), league spokeswoman Peyton Slamming said, “our hard work is paying off.

“As the ‘amateur sports capitol of the world,’ we’re so proud to call Indianapolis home, “says league spokeswoman “Peyton Slamming” (Devon Dean). “Playing at the Indiana Convention Center while the Pepsi Coliseum is undergoing a make-over was a natural fit for us. We love the opportunity to play downtown and maybe attract some new fans.”
