The owners of Delaware News
Co., one of the city's last remaining old-school newsstands, are getting out of the business after more than a dozen years.
Phil and Vincent DeFabis have put their business and their historic building along Delaware Street up for sale. The brothers
are asking $415,000 for the 3-story, 3,000-square-foot building at 130 N. Delaware St., across from City Market. The structure
was built in 1860 and now is home to a salsa-dancing studio and the newsstand. Delaware News could be included in the deal
if a buyer was interested, Phil DeFabis said.

1860? Wow. Its such an attractive building but I thought it would have been built in more like 1870. This place must have seen a lot of change in Indy. Hopefully some retail or something in that great storefront.
Please note: Presentation of the Venu, SW corner 86th and Keystone, is indefinitely postponed.
***also, i really hope they are only intending to renovate and not demolish the old 86th street bridge at keystone at the crossing. does anyone have any insight into that project? it's also up for discussion at the upcoming nncc meeting. thanks!
Highway 100 was the original pre-465 Indy bypass for US52 and 421, and it ran from Brookville Rd. and Shadeland Ave. north to 82nd, then west to 86th & Lafayette Rd.
The second modern span was built when the road was widened in the 80's. As late as 1983 the stretch east of Keystone @ Crossing was two lanes and 55mph through a working gravel pit area up to Allisonville Rd.
That whole area is going to be in trouble before long. With the bridge blocked even for a few months it is going to disrupt traffic like crazy.
