Brothers Bar & Grill, a small Wisconsin-based chain,
has filed plans to replace Broad Ripple Trophy Center at one of the neighborhood's most prominent corners, said Senior Planner
Bryan Pohl. Other tenants in the one-story building include Union Jack’s, Sigman’s Art Gallery, Honeysuckle Home and Kiln
Creations. The Brothers chain has 12 restaurants in the Midwest, including a location in West Lafayette. Bardach Awards, which
operates the awards shop and owns the building, hopes to move to an industrial building on the north side or in Carmel, said
Diane Bardach-Beck, the company’s president. A more low-key location makes sense since most of Bardach’s business is corporate,
she said. She confirmed the building, at 910 Broad Ripple Avenue, is under contract.

Can IBJ please stop referring to this property as "Kessler Mansion"? What a ridiculous title for the biggest, bloated, blight in our city. It's not a mansion. At best, it's an ideal site to shoot low-budget porn. Ahhh! Another business use!

Its stories like these that prove that a Ball State diploma is worth less than the paper that its printed on. A real institution of higher learning would have taken care of this long ago. No way should this crap be taught in a SCIENCE class.

It is such a shame that King Ballard has made Indianapolis into Chicago south with all of the rampant corruption.

How many of these 1,259 bills were actually heard and voted on on the floor vs how many were shot down in committee?

When a an arrogant young guy with essentially no experience and no qualifications for the job, was dropped into an Administrator position out of nowhere by his "mentor" in the Mayor's office things seemed fishy. Sometimes things are what they seem.

I just think we should embrace local restaurants when they are being built (regardless of the type of establishment). So much chatter on here is based on the desire to rid ourselves of the saturation of chains, but in the same breath the exact same posters dog the local establishments. Not saying we don't need improvement, but let's be thankful for the investment that is occuring. I think Scotty's downtown will be great! Very good beer selection too. It won't rival the Rathskellar, but it's a great alternative (for beer lovers). Oh, and I have no connection to Scotty's. Promise.
Also, does anyone know if anything has opened in the new building on E. Westfield Blvd, right around the corner from the trophy shop? I haven't made it up to Broad Ripple in a few months.
I'd sooner see height/bulk on the Subway and Jimmy John's sites as there is height and bulk behind and beside them.
The rendering isn't clear enough to post here, but it shows reopened windows, awnings and outdoor dining, as Gary mentioned.
By the way, does anyone have a picture of this building? If so, could you e-mail it to me at cschouten@ibj.com? I'd like to add it to the post.
The space currently occupied by Sunflower Market was once a music store and a bookstore, both national/regional chains. The Subway was Walker Cleaners. Jimmy Johns was a flower shop. Houseworks started on the southeast corner of BR and College, where Peppers and Scholars have been located. Hoosier Gardener Antiques was in the strip with the tobacco and shoe repair places. BRT was a laundromat. There was a used bookstore and comix shop next to the Post Office. And those are just the ones this old graybeard can remember from 25 years in the neighborhood.
The funky local retail has mostly retreated north of the canal because rents are so high on BR Ave.
Cory, if you could shed some light on the Penn Centre rumors that would be appreciated. That's what I was trying to say in my last comment. :)
