    Any word on the Fresh Market development at 54th and college? Still waiting and it appears to be an empty parking lot; so much for coming in fall 2007. Have you heard anything?

    What is going on up on 96th street and Keystone. 4 Restaurants have closed since last year. Nothing but Noodles got bought out. Bahama Breeze closed because of Darden Companies had trouble with Smokey Bones. Camille's closed last year and now DOOKZ Grill is gone. What will replace all these places?

    Cory, have you heard of Outside.in?

    They let you contribute your blog to a neighborhood and you can geo tag certain items.

    It would be interesting to tag some of your posts and have the content show up on this site.

    Keep updating us on Indy development news. I would also like to know what is replacing Bahama Breeze...if anything. I miss that place!

    Crystal – The E. 96th Street location has been listed for sale through a local broker.



    Thanks for your comment … we wish we could have made this location work, but unfortunately it just wasn’t the right type of location for the Bahama Breeze brand and the restaurant there was never going to reach the level of profitability we require. As we grow Bahama Breeze over the next several years, though, it’s entirely possible we will be back in the Indianapolis market, in a site that makes more sense for us.

    Have a wonderful Thanksgiving and a happy holiday season!

    Director, Media & Communications, Bahama Breeze

    Any news about the Uptown development at 49th and College? I hear that Carreau Design was planning something, but haven't heard any news for almost a year.

    Cory, I wonder if the LUCASVILLE name will stick. Are you aware of the 701 Kentucky Avenue offering? Anyway, 4 acres in one parcel is rare in Lucasville. The skyline around the new stadium is changing and this site will be part of the change. With it's river view and view of the downtown skyline the 701 Kentucky Avenue location has many possibilities. It will be interesting to watch how this site is redeveloped.

  • Bring your own caterer
    MelissaNovember 22, 2009 4:15 PM
    Anyone have a suggestion for a location in the Carmel/North Indy area that lets you rent it and bring in your own catering? I would even consider renting an entire restaurant. I would prefer the tables and linens etc. already be there. 120 people.
    Ever heard of renting a leasing property (like the old Bahama Breeze)for something like this?
