Editor’s Note: Since the Fresh Thyme story was our most popular story, I had the not-so-brilliant idea yesterday to try and take a video tour of one of these stores in Fishers, so our readers could see what what one of the stores might look like inside. I tried to cushion and shock-proof the camera, but my efforts were disappointing.
