A new floral arrangement

flowersLooking for flowers downtown? There's a new arrangement, thanks to a shakeup among locally based florists. Enflora Flowers for Business, part of McNamara, plans to open in Chase Tower in early February. And Berkshire Florist is moving from 7 E. Market St. to City Market and plans to open in mid-December. Enflora will take 2,500 square feet that previously housed Wall Street Deli, said Toomie Farris, McNamara's president and CEO. "We really missed our downtown operation," he said. Many of downtown's skyscrapers have lost floral tenants in recent years: George Thomas Florist and Andrews Florist vacated shops in One America Tower and Capital Center. Andrews now has a shop at 705 E. Market St.

    You can also pick up some flowers for your sweetie at the City Market. There's a booth there selling them by the single stem.

    George Thomas left because their lease was not renewed. The Tower wanted a Starbucks and got one.

    Fred Said it Right...

    The City Market has a wonderful florist selling fresh flowers by the stem. I'm not sure the proprietor, but the thing has the feel of something/someone local... she knows her stuff and answers questions.

    Yes believe it or not, they own Sakura, and Sakura Mart.
    Plus about a thousand other restaurants, and businesses nationwide.

  1. Doug Henning!

  2. These guy were thugs — they grew up in freaking Haughville! Smh, sigh. If the mayor needs/wants "quality" Black Hoosiers who are NOT corrupt, give me a call — I know plenty. Land bank info here - http://www.kubepharm.com/indylandbank/IndyLandBank.html

  3. Magician and illusionist!

  4. The basic idea of nice apartments with parking and retail is a good one, but this design seems overwhelmingly big/tall for Broad Ripple. The size could be disguised a bit with lots of big trees/landscaping, but the complex is too massive to blend in easily. That section of canal between College and Westfield will also need to be upgraded on both sides. Nice apartments facing onto a nice promenade with shade trees/plantings could bring together the canal towpath/Monon recreation, the outdoor seating at existing restaurants, and this project into something that upgrades the whole area. A plan for the whole stretch makes more sense than facing nice new housing onto what looks like a ditch. Is there a plan? Does the public have input? Who pays? The apartment idea seems to be reasonable, but Whole Foods is not a good idea for appropriate retail. Besides the store being physically too big, there are already Fresh Market at 54xCollege and Whole Foods in Nora for fancy groceries. Good Earth and Kroger are within walking distance of the Shell site. There are at least 7 grocery stores within a safe bike ride. Whole Foods would add nothing but traffic congestion. This design is on the right track, but there needs to be more work done to ensure that it blends in with and enhances the existing community. A project that large will set a tone for that whole part of town. It could be a real asset, but only if done right.

  5. I did not move to Zionsville to live in Carmel. This and the subsequent developments to follow will ensure a vanilla uniformity of strip malls and apartment buildings as we seek to bring our town down to the least common denominator. We were warned before recent elections that pro-development council members would make sure their friends (landowners and developers) would be able to make their millions off of the exploitation of Zionsville. Why in God's name would we sell out the best preserved small town in the State of Indiana?
