Circuit City closes Clay Terrace store
Carmel's high-end lifestyle center Clay Terrace has an empty big box. Virginia-based Circuit City closed the local store Sunday
as part of a nationwide effort to shore up finances. The struggling electronics retailer has seen its stock fall below $5.
The Carmel location is the only local store affected by a recent round of closings. What would you like to see here?
Hearing planned for Merrill Street tower
Plans for a 24-story tower between Eli Lilly & Co.’s Faris Campus and Lucas Oil Stadium are scheduled for a Wednesday hearing
by the Metropolitan Development Commission. The $47 million project, by a development team including locally based Prince/Alexander
Architects, calls for a 225-room hotel, first-floor retail, a parking garage and 40 apartments. The original plan called for condos instead of apartments. Planning staff has recommended approval for rezoning
of the parcel along West Merrill Street.
Local food shop looks at Sunflower space
Broad Ripple's homegrown Good Earth Natural Food Store is exploring the possibility
of moving into the vacated Sunflower Market space on 62nd Street. The Good Earth is bursting at the seams of its current location,
a converted house at 6350 Guilford Ave. Grocery chain Supervalu closed its Sunflower stores this month and is looking to sublease
the space.

And what's this? Hamilton County can't support all the big boxes it already has? What a shock!
Also...I agree that there would be higher density downtown if there were more apartments available.
Not much around?
If you walk a couple of blocks NE (it's a hassle, I know) you're right in the middle of the Wholesale District.
Let's talk about the real issue hear. The design, as is, is fugly. It's a horribly run-of-the-mill parking garage with a cheesy beach hotel stuck on top.
...and yes, I will complain about the design. Somebody has to! :-)
The move to apartments is great news.

Just found out yesterday that Value City is closing…not that I really am saddened but just didn’t know
Good Earth needs the space and maybe they can expand their selection.
Thanks Cory for the VC info.

I happened to drive by last weekend and it looks like they're going to open soon.
MOST DEFINTELY. Thus the reason why the occupancy rate for apartments in the CBD is at 98%. Further, it's a lifestyle living downtown versus somewhere on 465 that will bring people to these new options.
