To our valued readers: It seems as though it was years ago when we communicated our revised distribution plan for Noblesville, but it was actually only the end of March. Time flies when you’re battling the fallout from the pandemic, we suppose.

Current in Noblesville remains exposed to the financial repercussions of the pandemic, although we’re proud to state we have retained all full-time staff at the

At first, It looked like 2020 was going to be a record-setting year for Hamilton County’s tourism industry.

In January and February, hotel room demand ECONOMY was 20 percent higher than average, and tourism officials were optimistic the trend could continue throughout the year.

But in March, the COVID-19 pandemic reached Indiana, sending hotel room demand and occupancy rates plummeting. Demand bottomed out in April, when it was only 78 percent below what’s normally seen, and hotel room occupancy was 83 percent lower than normal.

Those numbers have climbed and stabilized, reaching a peak of only 8 percent below average demand in July. But with COVID-19 cases climbing as the industry prepares to enter its slowest time of the year, it’s unclear what that will mean for local hotels.

Hamilton County Tourism President/CEO Brenda Myers said she’s hearing from hoteliers that another lockdown would be ‘horrible.’ Without a shutdown, she expects most local hotels will be able to stay in operation long enough to weather the storm.

“I think they can make it through the winter,” she said. “I think everybody wants to get to the Myers end of March.”

That’s when, she’s hoping, a COVID-19 vaccine will become available to the general public and mark the beginning of the end of the pandemic.

events) at the end of March, that is going to be huge,” Myers said.

Westfield’s Grand Park has been instrumental in boosting business at Hamilton County hotels during the pandemic. Myers said she believes more Grand Park visitors stayed in Hamilton County this year than previous years.

But with youth sports events winding down for the year, local hoteliers are hoping other types of travelers will soon be in town. Myers said as of mid-November, data from the short-term rental site Airbnb shows that bookings doubled for Thanksgiving and Christmas from 2019 to 2020.

levels of compensation to which they are accustomed.

As a result, we must extend our revised circulation plan for the time being. We will continue to deliver to a different 25 percent of the community, as has been the case since April 7. That means, in a four-week month, a different quadrant of the community each week will receive Current by mail.

Our practice of making the newspapers available in their entirety online continues and never will change.

As of this writing, we can’t predict when “normal” will return, but we’re aching for it to happen much sooner than later.

Thank you for your understanding as we continue to strive to get back to business as usual.

Please let us know if you have questions, and please be well and stay well.

An Open Letter to Noblesville Mayor Chris Jensen

Dear Mayor Jensen, On Thursday, November 12, representatives of Industrial Dielectrics, Inc. attended an open meeting of the Community Advisory Committee regarding the proposed East-West Corridor Project on Pleasant Street. Not one of the 20 or so people in attendance, other than the presenters hired by of the Mayor, endorsed the City’s currently preferred route (Plan B-1), and many concerned questions were asked. At the conclusion of the meeting, the moderator said that the City would move forward at the next meeting to recommend Plan B-1, ignoring the entire discussion raised by the audience. It became clear that the City and its contractors had already made up their minds and had no genuine intent to consider legitimate issues raised or alternatives.

This roadway will be used, hopefully, for the next 100 years, and the “best” plan needs to be developed. Apparently, no consideration will be given to concerns raised in this regard. With all due respect, it is more important to do this right than to do this fast. We need to pick the right route.

IDI endorses an improvement to Pleasant Street, generally along the lines of the route presented, with the following exceptions: 1. Mayor Jensen and the City must take the time to study alternatives to the suggested B-1 route to find the best solution.

We do not believe the impact of the recently adopted Historic District designation has been evaluated in any detail in the existing plan.

2. Several alternative routes have been suggested, including one by a current City Council member, which are better for the driving public, can be achieved with only one roundabout instead of two, and that have minimal displacement in the Historic District and to the IDI site.

3. Further study should be made of the new road’s alignment to avoid IDI having to move its worldwide headquarters.

IDI currently employs almost 100 workers at this location at an average salary of $73,000. IDI has plants in two other locations in the United States (Iowa and Montana) as well as in Puerto Rico, the United Kingdom, France, China and Mexico City. Since 2012, IDI has invested over $15 million dollars in improving its Noblesville location, to make it a suitable headquarters for visitation by the Fortune 500 companies with whom IDI does business, and to make it a more inviting facility to the neighborhood. Plan B-1 makes IDI’s Noblesville operation unworkable.

IDI is proud of its Noblesville heritage, and to that end, has donated over $1 mllion to community and civic projects in Noblesville over the last several years. However, IDI expects the City to promote the best solutions to problems like this. Rather than rushing through a plan that is flawed, why not take the time to consider other alternatives in light of the issues created by the new Historic District. Let’s work together to pick the right route.

Sincerely yours,

Tom Merrell, President and CEO

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com This is a different kind of race for Amy Shinneman.

Shinneman is racing GIVING BACK to rally community members to support Muscular Dystrophy Association for Giving Tuesday Dec. 1 The 46-year-old Noblesville resident’s condition remained undiagnosed in 2018 when she finally learned she had Bethlem myopathy, a form of congenital muscular dystrophy that causes muscle weakness throughout her limbs.

“Muscular dystrophy had been mentioned but there was never an official diagnosis,” Shinneman said.

Her husband, Jamie, wanted his wife to feel the excitement of being in the race even though she couldn’t run. They trained and he pushed her on a duo bike in the Chicago Marathon in October 2019.

“For both of us, it was just an incredible experience,” Shinneman said. “With the huge crowd in Chicago, you could just feel their support. He was happy he was out

there with me and I was able to experience running a marathon, even though I wasn’t technically running.”

Family and friends made the journey and supported her along the route.

“That was the most special part of it,” Shinneman said. “We were training to do others and COVID took over. Jamie still runs and we take the duo bike for when we do our next marathon.”

The couple wants to compete in the Bos-

ton and New York marathons. Jamie has completed Boston twice by himself.

Shinneman used the marathon to help raise money for MDA through a fundraising personal page.

“The Muscular Dystrophy Association is the largest and longest-established organization for people who have neuromuscular diseases,” Shinneman said. “For my husband and I to be connected and involved where we can make the best use of our story and raising funds for the Muscular Dystrophy Association is so important to us. The donations are so important to help continue the innovations in science and care and providing services in multi-care centers, where someone can go and get all different kinds of support in one place.”

Shinneman, who shares her story through Instagram and Facebook, was named Indiana’s state ambassador for 2020 earlier in the year.

“It was a huge honor, and I was so excited to have that platform to tell my story and encourage others to do the same,” she said.

Hamilton County Ivy Tech to benefit tech industry when transition is complete

By Anna Skinner anna@youarecurrent.com When the Ivy Tech Community College transforms its Hamilton County site at 300 N. 17th St., Noblesville, into an independent campus, local tech industries likely stand to benefit.

Terry Anker, a Carmel resident and chairman of the statewide board of trustees for Ivy Tech, said industries related to tech will likely reap the most benefits.

Anker “That seems to be where the largest area of growth is right now,” Anker said. “Ivy Tech Noblesville is now at about 1,200 students since it started in 2014, so in six years, that’s pretty quick growth. That’s not surprising, given the fact the Hamilton County is such a fast-growing operation itself.

“Until now, Hamilton County has been the largest county without an independent Ivy Tech.”

By becoming an independent campus, the Hamilton County site will facilitate easier independent degree-granting ability. The new campus will open July 1, 2021.

“One of the things I like about the idea of it being independent is the needs can change,” Anker said. “For example, if a large employer were to come to Westfield and say, ‘We need this kind of skillset,’ Ivy Tech can make that happen quickly. The process would be tremendously streamlined from what it is right now.”

Ivy Tech Hamilton County will form advisory boards for certain local industries to gauge if those industries are best suited for an associate’s degree or a certificate program.

“That’s the true opportunity that’s going to happen here is, at a much more granular level, we will be able to stand up what (businesses) need,” Ivy Tech President Sue Ellspermann said.

Ellspermann said she expects the new programs to have a STEM focus.

“We struggle sometimes with the trades and different educational things that just are tied up right now. They are at their wit’s limits. I think the things this will afford Hamilton County will help the entire coun-

ty, and we couldn’t be happier,” Hamilton County Commissioner Steve Dillinger said.

“To me, Ivy Tech is a dream come true for Hamilton County.”

Besides benefitting people pursuing IT, tech or other certifications, the independent campus also is expected to benefit local Dillinger high school students.

“So many students in Hamilton County take Ivy Tech courses while in high school, and this makes it even easier,” Anker said.

“The technical training is able to open up all kinds of new programs. I’m incredibly excited about this opportunity. It’s a fantastic

thing for the industry and citizens in the county. People can continue to drive to the downtown campus if they are in hospitality, but if they’re IT, it will be standalone.”

Anker said Noblesville Mayor Chris Jensen has been a strong proponent for the campus transition.

“One of the things he said when we launched this thing that I thought was interesting was, ‘You are able to freeline decision making,’ so we, meaning local business leaders, can have a direct line into whatever it is we need for workforce development right here without having to go to Indianapolis or anywhere else,” Anker said.

By becoming an independent campus, the Ivy Tech Hamilton County Campus will be led by a chancellor.

The position will be posted nationally.

“A chancellor will be an elevated role for someone who runs the campus,” said Terry Anker, chairman of the Ivy Tech Board of Trustees.

There also will be a series of listening sessions. The first session took place Oct. 6.

“We are inviting community leaders in to give their opinions or talk about anything they think is important to include in this campus,” Anker said.

“The list is about 85 people. They’re all elected officials, school leaders, business leaders. Then, there will be other ones scheduled throughout the year for people to come in with opinions.”

ESSAY

LETTER

Divergent opinions

Election handed to Biden

Commentary by Terry Anker We all have our opinions. And in most cases, we are fully, entirely, completely, incontrovertibly and undeniably committed to them. Still, we have friends, neighbors, family members and every manner and sort of human with which we interact, even in times of quarantine. So, how can we hope to navigate a world filled with so very many opinions?

And so very many of them likely don’t conform with our own.

No doubt, employers and customers can cause us to bend our wills a bit. But also, one can find conflict with those who work for us — tailors, contractors, mechanics and repair specialists come to mind. Sure, they might form an opinion based upon experience. But shouldn’t we challenge them occasionally with our own view, if for no other reason than to consider diversity of thought? Plus, if we are paying, why can’t we have it our way?

Any among us who have remodeled a house or altered a garment knows the peril of the encroaching expert opinion.

One enters with a desired outcome: “I’d like the hem to fall here,” or, “I’d like the fixture to be mounted this low.” The service provider retorts, “Oh, you don’t want it like that — no one does.” Hmm. Well, at least one person did. They may be right.

It may not be to local code. It may cause one to trip over the fabric. Alternatively, it may be personal preference. When does someone’s “professional” opinion simply become “their” opinion? Taste is predilection but not dispositive. Views are perspectives but not all inclusive.

Frustrated, one might demand that others do what is asked, not what is preferred. But is forcing the hand of another, especially against their own opinion, ever a strategy of likely success? Can we accommodate for others and still get our way?

Reveling in cancel culture Commentary by Danielle Wilson Recently, I reread my 2019 column on surviving the holidays. Basically, it was the gold standard of sage HUMOR advice: “Just say no,” “Expect the worst” and, alcoholically speaking, “Pace yourself.” But it occurred to me that this year, as we enter our 10th month of a pandemic, many of the chaos and stress-inducing factors of typical December madness will be, if not nonexistent, then at least substantially lessened. Which means, you’re already fully prepared!

Think about it. All the time-sucking, gift-giving, insipid social gatherings that drive us introverts to drink are canceled!

No three-hour, off-key choir concerts, no awkward office parties and certainly no embarrassingly obnoxious family reunions.

And even if a stupidhead decides to throw a subversive get-together, you’ve got a fool-proof declination excuse: “Test results pending.” Basically, the need for the first of the three aforementioned guidelines is null and void.

As for the second, puh-lease. If you

haven’t learned by now that each month of 2020 can and will remain a complete disaster, then contact me immediately with the name of your dealer. “Expect the worst” has been my mantra since March, but I’m certainly open to some good, old-fashioned, opioid-induced naiveté.

Finally, I would bet my firstborn that many a liver have hardened substantially over the last year. Between teepee shortages, government-mandated quarantines and presidential shenanigans, most folks have been over-imbibing for quite awhile. I predict the next few weeks will be amateur hour, frankly, with nary a slurred “Merry Christmas” to be found. Pace yourself? More like, “Carry on.”

So, godspeed, friends, and remember to trust your training. I’ll see you on the other side. Peace out.

“‘Expect the worst’ has been my mantra since March, but I’m certainly open to some good, old-fashioned, opioid-induced naiveté.”

Editor, Joe Biden did not win the 2020 election. It was handed to him on a platter made of criminal collusion, lies, cheating election workers and supervisors, machines that flipped the candidates voted for and mail-in ballot fraud. How could he have won when he rarely came out of his hideout, the basement?

At the very few rallies he had, only a handful of people came compared to thousands that attended the Trump rallies.

Lady Gaga was hired to try and inspire the ones who did come while boat and vehicle parades supporting Trump in many states were happening around the country.

Our president had a red wave flowing across our country on election night and then in the wee hours, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Nevada, Arizona Georgia started flipping from red to blue.

What happened here? The someones were flipping or throwing out Trump votes for Biden. And Biden accepted this deception. This shows you what kind of character he has. And this deception is how he would run our country with no support for middle class working Americans, supporting the Green New Deal and allowing anyone into our country with open borders just for starters.

My son Brett brings his lunch to work every day, avoiding dining in restaurants during the pandemic. I asked HUMOR him what he was eating, and his response was: Frozen peanut butter and jelly sandwiches (you defrost them before the meal). I bought a box out of curiosity, and now I’m hooked on the stupid things. I have to hide them in the downstairs freezer behind the Healthy Choice dinners. If my wife finds out what I have been paying for this rip-off, she may never microwave anything good for me again.

I also discovered another peanut butter innovation that has apparently been around for several years. It’s called a Candwich, a product name that was market-tested and produced the fewest number of people sticking their forefinger in their mouth and pretending to gag.

Instead of buying a ready-made peanut butter and jelly sandwich in a vending machine or purchasing the separate items in a supermarket to create your own masterpieces, all the stuff comes in a portable kit

Inside the container is a hot dog-like bun in a cellophane wrapper, and one squeezable packet each of jelly and peanut butter.

Consumers are unhappy that, like their new IKEA deck chair, some assembly is required. But there are no instructions included.

Sales for Candwich have been brisk through the years, the company reports, but not without some drawbacks. Prisons and airlines will not offer the product to their diners.

Busy parents looking for an easy lunch for the kids applaud this meal-in-a-can, although some are concerned that their 6-year-olds might not be able to negotiate the pull-tab. “But I think they’ll figure it out,” said one mom, “and it will be a good learning experience to prepare them for when they start drinking beer.”

Americans are buying lunch sandwiches in sealed containers the same way they purchase Quaker State Motor Oil. It seems there is no limit to where this convenience may go with future product development.

What you need to know about Raynaud’s disease

Commentary by Dr. David Sullivan

Raynaud’s disease causes fingers and toes to feel icy or numb when you’re stressed or exposed PREVENTION to cold temperatures.

Symptoms occur when the small arteries that supply blood to your skin become narrow, reducing blood flow.

Anyone can develop Raynaud’s, but women are more likely to be affected. Your risk may increase if you live in a colder climate, like Indiana’s, or if you are a smoker. Having

a first-degree relative — a parent, sibling or child — having the disease may increase your risk.

With Raynaud’s syndrome, you may develop cold fingers or toes and changes in skin color when cold or stressed.

After warming up, you may experience numbness, prickly or stinging pain in your fingers or toes.

Raynaud’s attacks in stages. First, your toes usually turn white. Next, they often become blue and cold or numb. Finally, as you relax or warm up and your circulation

improves, your toes may turn red. Tingling, throbbing or even swelling may also set in.

Symptoms should improve with warming, but it can take as long as 15 minutes for your blood flow to return to normal after an attack.

Tissue damage or ulcers (open wounds) may develop if your blood flow is compromised for too long. In rare cases, untreated Raynaud’s can lead to foot or toe amputations. You should always get your feet checked after an attack.

To prevent Raynaud’s attacks always lay-

er up in cold weather. Wear hats, scarves, socks, boots and two pairs of gloves.

Chemical warmers may help keep your fingers and toes warm, but avoid direct contact with your skin.

RISE Commercial grows in new site

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Since opening Sept. 1, RISE Commercial District of Noblesville has continued to grow.

GROWTH “The Noblesville community has responded better than we could have hoped,” RISE President Jim Sapp said.

The Noblesville site, 605 Sheridan Rd., was the fourth RISE site to open.

“We have small warehouses and small offices for business and we also do short term,” said Sapp, a longtime Carmel resident who owns the company with his wife, Theresa. “Co-warehousing is the term we use. Forty percent of our businesses are Fortune 500. Obviously, the other 60 percent are small- to medium-sized businesses.

They just need space to put some kind of equipment (in), especially during this period of time where many companies have downsized, and other companies are growing. We service companies from AT&T, hospitals, IT companies to plumbing, electrical or landscaping companies.”

Sapp said construction started in Nobles-

“We have bathrooms throughout. We have a shared forklift.

The companies can get the forklift, use it for 15 minutes and they put it back.”

The first RISE was constructed in the Castleton area of Indianapolis in 2010 and has remained at 100 percent capacity, even through multiple rounds of expansion.

There also are sites in Greenwood and Columbus, Ohio.

Look for dividend-paying stocks — Dividend-paying stocks tend to hold up better than the overall market during volatile times and economic slowdowns.

But many large-cap, blue-chip dividend payers such as McDonald’s and Procter & Gamble have already experienced big gains the past year, so they may not provide the downside protection you would expect. A better defensive strategy is to invest in dividend-paying medium-sized companies — those with stock market values between $2 billion and $10 billion. Their businesses are mature enough to pay reliable dividends but still have the ability to grow much faster than large companies.

Civic Theatre presents video performance of 2019 ‘Elf The Musical’ production

By Mark Ambrogi mark@youarecurrent.com Recalling her role as Jovie in “Elf The Musical” brings a smile to Emily Schaab’s face.

PERFORMANCE The Noblesville resident performed in Civic Theatre’s 2019 production.

“Playing Jovie was a dream,” Schaab said. “I felt connected to her, and the role was so fun. And honestly, the best part of playing Jovie was being able to do so alongside the rest of the amazing cast.”

The successful run was slated to be repeated this month, but a live production is not possible amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

The show will be available Dec. 4 through Dec. 26. After the Dec. 4 opening, there will be streamed shows at 7 p.m. Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays and 2 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays.

The production, which was video recorded in December 2019, will be available as a streaming and on-demand experience. The show is based on the 2003 movie starring Will Farrell as Buddy.

This was Schaab’s first lead role in a Civic Theatre production. Schaab previously performed in “Newsies” and “Mamma Mia!” “I can’t say enough good things about my experience,” she said. “Every single person in the cast, staff, crew and orchestra worked seamlessly together, and I think we created something really special.

During rehearsals, I felt challenged and supported by my castmates. Throughout the run of the show, I was able to form relationships that I am so grateful for.

“It really was the most positive experience from top to bottom.”

Originally, the cast was supposed to perform “Elf” again live this winter.

“I would love nothing more than to step back into the crazy, hilarious and jingly world of Jovie and Buddy,” Schaab said. “It would be an honor to play the role again.”

Like most performers, Schaab has found it difficult not being able to perform since

the pandemic hit in mid-March and shows have been shut down.

“Honestly, it feels like being homesick,” she said. “Something that was such a big part of my life was suddenly taken away.

I have truly grieved alongside my friends and loved ones who have been unable to perform and create, especially those whose livelihoods depend on the theater.

It is really heartbreaking.”

Westfield resident Matt Bays portrayed Buddy, and Indianapolis resident Parrish Williams played Santa in the 2019 production.

There will be pre-recorded interview segments with performers from the 2019 shows.

When viewers purchase access to “Elf,” they will be provided with their own unique code to access either the scheduled stream or the on-demand experience.

On Dec. 12, Civic Theatre will present a live virtual performance of its holiday variety show, “Holiday Lights,” a celebration of the holiday season. “Holiday Lights” will feature many familiar local performers bringing holiday cheer through song and dance. Customers can purchase a link for either the livestream at 7 p.m. Dec. 12 or can get a link for an on-demand version that will be available from Dec. 13 until Jan. 1, 2021.

For more, visit civictheatre.org.

Actors Theatre of Indiana, Hamilton County’s only professional Actors’ Equity Association theater company, will partner in a groundbreaking theatrical production of “A Christmas Carol” this holiday season. In conjunction with TBD Pictures and Broadway Producer Hunter Arnold, ATI will present a pay-per-view airing of the Charles Dickens classic.

“We are the exclusive central Indiana partner helping to distribute ‘A Christmas Carol’ to our patrons and the Indiana audiences,” ATI co-founder Don Farrell said. “We gain approximately $20 of every ticket sold.

It’s a great way to see an amazing production while also supporting Actors Theatre of Indiana during this difficult pandemic.”

The production will be available for on-demand streaming from Nov. 28 through Jan. 3, 2021. Tickets are $50 per household and will be available at ATIstage.org.

Address: 5858 N. College Ave., Suite D, Indianapolis What to get: Oysters on the half shell Price: Varies Anna’s take: Blupoint Oyster House is nestled in a little building on College Avenue in Broad Ripple. I visited the bar during a family and friends’ event, so it offered a special menu not typically offered to customers, but there are several things customers should be on the lookout for when they visit the oyster house.

First, my opinion is the best way to eat oysters is on the half shell. Add a squeeze of lemon and a dash of hot sauce. I love the salty, briny, pure ocean taste of consuming raw oysters out of the shell. It’s part of the

experience. There’s a great description of each of Blupoint’s oyster varieties on its website, blupointindy.com. Prices vary. If you’re not up to trying oysters on the half shell, I suggest the squid ink bucatini ($14), which features black ink squid pasta with a lemon cream sauce.

Blupoint is definitely a spot I’d like to visit when the COVID-19 pandemic ends so I don’t have to worry about the tight spaces. It’s cozy and a great place for a before-dinner cocktail and oyster snack.

Blueprint for Improvement: Cozy basement in Zionsville Commentary by Larry Greene

THE SOLUTION

After

Before

1. The family needed space for storing kids’ toys. A custom shelving unit, complete with a window seat, solved that problem.

2. A new wet bar featuring indigo cabinetry and a Carrera marble countertop provides an entertaining space for adults.

3. An electric fireplace was added in the TV/living area to provide warmth and ambience. Framed in stacked wood veneer, it features a mantle that mimics the design of the floating shelves above the bar.

THE CHALLENGE

Larry Greene is the owner of Case Design/Remodeling; email him at lgreene@caseindy. com. Visit caseindy. com for more remodeling inspiration and advice.

This 2011 home in Zionsville’s Willow Glen neighborhood had a generously sized basement but lacked storage and style.

Even if the dust hasn’t completely settled yet in the elderly man popularity contest known as this year’s presidential election, you at least want to sound smart when you’re talking and/or writing about this year’s contest.

Here are some tips on how to sound like a regular Doris Kearns Goodwin while chatting about politics.

First, do you know where we get the word “candidate?” Yes! It comes from Latin, and its origins are downright fascinating. In Ancient Rome, togas were the tuxedo of their day, and people running for the Roman Senate wanted to stand out from the crowd. To become more visible, the political hopefuls would rub shimmering white chalk on their togas, which were known as “toga candidas” (white togas). A person wearing the toga

candida became known as a “candidatus.”

Perhaps Joe Biden’s Crest 3-D Whitestrips contain this same hidden ingredient: glittery white chalk.

Did you know that The Associated Press Stylebook dictates that the terms “first lady” and “first gentleman” are not to be capitalized? They’re not official titles and governors’ and mayors’ spouses also are referred to by the same titles.

Whether you’re voting someone into the capital (of your state) or the capitol (of the United States), it’s good to know when to capitalize the titles of the people involved.

Oh, and by the way, only capitalize “capitol” when you’re referring to the building in Washington, D.C., or the record label (Capitol Records). And if neither of the two primary parties suits your interests, perhaps you should let your hair down and throw a party. That’s a capital idea!

Ortaköy Mosque in Istanbul, Turkey. (Photo by Don Knebel)

Istanbul’s Riverfront Mosque Commentary by Don Knebel Istanbul, Turkey, is home to more than 3,000 mosques, some of which, including the Blue Mosque and Hagia TRAVEL Sophia, are internationally famous. The little known Ortaköy Mosque is among the most photographed.

Istanbul lies on both sides of the Bosporus River that divides Europe from Asia.

Ortaköy, now an Istanbul neighborhood, was originally a small village along the European bank of the Bosporus. ating from the Byzantine era, the village was predominately Christian until the 16th century, when Ottoman Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent encouraged Muslim Turks to settle there.

Ortaköy’s Muslim residents built a small mosque on the riverbank in 1720, only to see it destroyed 11 years later during an insurgency. In 1839, Abdulmejid I became sultan and ordered construction of a new mosque near the site of the original one. To design the mosque, he hired Armenian architects who had designed many buildings for Ottoman rulers. Construction of the mosque began in 1854 and was completed two years

later. The Ortaköy Mosque, officially the Grand Imperial Mosque of Sultan Abdulmejid, reflects the neo-Baroque style and sits on a jetty extending into the river. The small mosque has a single dome, two minarets and bay windows providing natural light to the interior. The mosque, like others from the period, includes both a space for worship and a summer residence for the sultan.

In 1970, Turkey began construction of a suspension bridge across the Bosporus to connect the European and Asian parts of Istanbul. The European side of the bridge, completed in 1973, is anchored in Ortaköy, north of the mosque. Boats taking visitors to Istanbul along the Bosporus cruise close to the Ortaköy Mosque, providing a magnificent view of both the mosque and the bridge. Today, Ortaköy is a fashionable neighborhood, attracting visitors to its shops and restaurants.
