    In no particular order, and because I missed breakfast and am starving, I would say... everything Ambrosia serves, Tripel de Rupple at Brugge, birthday cake ice cream at Boogie Burger, classes at the Indianapolis Art Center and Kimmel's Shoe Repair.

        My favorite thing about Broad Ripple is the distinct feeling that you're somewhere else entirely. It's a unique escape in the middle of a the city that feels instantly at home with its laid-back attitude.

      • BRAF is the Best...

        Of the three major Indy area art fairs (Penrod, Talbot Street, & Broad Ripple), I think BRAF is definitely the most entertaining, affordable, and fun!

        I love the feeling of being in a small town in a big city. It is one of my favorite places to visit when I come to Indy.

        There are many things to love about Broad Ripple. The artsy feeling alone is worth spending time there, the quaint little shops and small town atmosphere, the food too is some of the best and most diverse in Indy. It's just a great place to be and the art fairs make it all the better!

        Tasteful and interesting yard art is something I always find at the Broad Ripple Art Fair. I hope this year to continue my collection, neighbors are always asking where I find such great pieces

      1. Saw the Indy Men's Chorus "Music of Gilbert & Sullivan" at the Indiana Historical Society on Sunday evening.

      2. Temporary workers are not "tools" they are people and companies that keep large amounts of temp staff are cheating.

      3. I miss having them around. I hope one of their stores is in the general Meridian/86th Street area. I will make good use of it.

      4. The Fringe! Plus, the simple fact that there are so many local faves in such close proximity to each other.

      5. I remenber, watching the toll road, being built, through South Bend, when I was 10 years old. I believe, back then that it was estimated, that the toll road, would be paid for in 20 years and then it would be free. I am now 71, what happened? Since the power is in the people, by that, I mean that, we the people are in total control of everything. I, suggest that no one ever use the toll road again, let it go broke. We the people can control the price of everything, from groceries to gas, if we would just do it. If we don't pay the asking price, the sellers will lower the price and if we wait awhile, they will lower the price to what we accept as reasonable. I would like to know why a highway like interstate 94, is so well maintained, a much better highway, than the toll road, but has no tolls. I would also like to know why, a sitting governor, with a term limit, maximum of eight years, can lease, public property, for 75 years. Even though I have transponders in both of my trucks and will not be affected by the increase, I have been and will contine to avoid using the toll road. I make many trips from northern Indiana to Chicago, every year, and I prefer the better highway, I94!
