Sign up for Westside Beat texts with Enrique

Hey. I’m Enrique Saenz, the westside reporter for Mirror Indy. Nice to meet you.

I wanted to let you know about a new service we’re providing that’s dedicated to bringing you the latest news about what’s happening on the west side and lets you and me chat directly.

By texting “WESTSIDE” to 317-659-7738, you’ll get signed up to my free texting service. I’ll tell you about the major things happening in the city, events and more to keep you and your families informed.

Here’s another cool thing. By signing up, you can reach out to us directly. I’ll get the texts you send and we can have a one-on-one conversation about what you think about my articles, what I should be working on next and what we at Mirror Indy can do to better serve the west side.

I’ve lived in West Indianapolis since I moved here from Weslaco, Texas, back in December 2017. I’ve gotten to know some of the interesting people, sights and smells close to home and ventured farther out to learn more about our part of the city.

I’m just getting started, but the main thing I’ve learned is that I don’t know enough about the west side.

We here at Mirror Indy want to write stories about the vibrant people and events happening on our side of town. But we need your help finding them.

So sign up and let’s start chatting. Text “WESTSIDE” to 317-659-7738.
