This is the WFHB Local News for Wednesday, May 13th, 2026.

In today’s newscast, you’ll hear Alec McLaren, host of Bloomington’s Tiny Garage concert series. Go on-location with us to one of B-town’s hottest new house show venues later in the show in a feature report.

Also coming up in the next half hour, WFHB News looks at last night’s Monroe County Council meeting where councilors delayed a vote on the new jail project.

Pass by 2-0-8 South Hillsdale Court on the east side of Bloomington during the day and you would likely have no idea you are at one of B-town’s hottest new house show hotspots. This is the home of Tiny Garage, where Alec McLaren is building his own concert venue, and yes, it is in his tiny garage. Correspondent McKenzie Vitale has that story in a feature report produced in partnership with The Media School at Indiana University.

Up next, “Doing a Job On You” on Better Beware – your weekly consumer-watchdog segment on the WFHB Local News. We turn to host and producer Richard Fish for more.
