A multi-story car dealership and service center in prime urban renewal territory on the edge of Indianapolis’ downtown core—I’m a little surprised that this one hung on.
Gotta admit I didn’t expect this one to still be standing - I’m pleasantly surprised that this old tractor sales and service center in Indianapolis is not only still there, but it’s been rehabbed and converted into offices across the street from the city’s 16 Tech innovation district.
Where you could once see bands like Bill Black’s Combo and get a bite to eat until 4am, you can now...uhhhh, huff exhaust fumes? This stretch of Fountain Square was, of course, bulldozed for highways.
Amazing what the Clean Air Act and a nice wash can do–Indianapolis’ Saints Peter and Paul Cathedral looks great. The seat of the Archdiocese of Indianapolis, the actual parish here is pretty small.
