A new cabaret
is planned for a one-story historic building at 1116 E. Prospect St. in Fountain Square. White Rabbit Cabaret will provide
live entertainment (not adult-oriented), food and beverage service, performing arts classes, rehearsal space, workshops and
special events, according to an application that won approval on Aug. 5 from the Indianapolis Historic Preservation Commission.
The 1912 building most recently was home to a Rent-A-Center. The brick commercial building served as the Fountain Square Hardware
Company until the 1930s. The cabaret will seat 60 to 80 guests and be open Tuesday through Thursday from 5 to 11 p.m. and
Friday and Saturday from 5 p.m. to 1 a.m.

Laura-the festivals and tastings are free. What does is strengthen the sense of community with activities. What are those empty lots doing for the Village? it's sad you can't see the good that this progress can do for the area. No one is requiring anyone to shop there. I guess you'd rather see a Dollar store move in or no, we'd rather see the property stand empty b/c change is out of the question.

Read down to the part about Brizzi. Someone needs to subpoena his "purchases" of Red RockPictures and Cellstar and his corresponding bank records, I mean c'mon, I'd like to see his alcohol usage records, too. http://diana-vice.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html

Wonder if my neighborhood can advertise our "retention" pond and act like it is a beach too?
-
a new record at the '11 salebration until they realized that it was a futile effort to get their crapwagon moter and crapwagon car up speed. And then they just quietly slunk off into the night and never spoke of it again. Nothing to see here folks.

millions for putting a company's bumper sticker on one of its Lolas. But you gotta take what you can get.

All they need to do to the facade is eliminate the giant ugly sign. Can't see anyone redo-ing the facade, nor getting approval for it. Maybe IHPC approval is for a new sign.
Sucks that NASIA cafe has to wait until IHPC approves their paint colors to fix their god-awful windows. I kept wondering why they'd leave it looking like crap for so long, but thanks to the IHPC, I'm sure a bunch of people have thought I'm not eating in a place that can't fix up their exterior -- probably tastes like it looks. I was almost fixing to perform a rogue, night-cloaked paint job, just to give it a once over of the same neutral color. Does IHPC get to tell you what kind of paper sign you can hang in the window too? : )
I would've painted it already and made the facade something half-way palatable. Their food is amazing.
Not sure what your beef is with the IHPC, but paint color alteration is a simple staff approval that usually is turned around pretty quickly and only some districts require approval of colors. I don't know anything about NASIA (including what it is or which district it's in), but there's probably more to the story than you realize.
As for the cabaret--awesome! Great building and great use of space.
