Omena-ites witness total eclipse, mourn Deibel

While many here in Omena enjoyed seeing the partial eclipse, a number of Omena-ites were able to be in places where they could witness the total eclipse. Crowds gathered all around Indianapolis, and Shapiro’s Delicatessen was one of those spots. Sally Shapiro reported that many hotels in Indy had several day minimum stays, so the deli was busy all weekend, through Monday. Quite a few people made Shapiro’s parking lot their spot for eclipse-watching. Brian and Sally and all of their staff took turns going outside to watch the eclipse. Sally put eclipse glasses on her camera and got some good pictures. 04/10/2024 03:54 PM
