Emerson Heights, a
streetcar suburb just west of Irvington, has been added to the State Historic Register and will be considered
for inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places. The neighborhood, which dates to the 1910s, is bounded by 10th
Street to the north, Michigan Street to the south, Linwood Avenue to west, and Emerson Avenue to the east.
It features tree-lined
esplanades with one- and two-bedroom homes, mostly with basements and priced in the $50,000 to $100,000
range. Nearby businesses include the Steer-In restaurant, Emerson Theater, Si Greene's
Pub and the Kroger-anchored Linwood Square Shopping Center. The Indiana Historic Preservation
Review Board voted Jan. 27 to accept an application for historic status
funded by the Indianapolis Foundation, Historic Landmarks Foundation of Indiana and neighborhood
residents. 
Applications
approved at the state level typically are accepted in the National Register. "National Register
status makes tax credits available to owners of contributing properties and makes
it easier to market the neighborhood to people who want to invest in an historic community,"
according to the Emerson Heights Community Organization.
Check out the neighborhood's National Register of Historic Places Registration Form, which
details 1,000 contributing historic buildings in the neighborhood.

Larry - even though the race is on ABC, ESPN does all of the work, so that is why ESPN is mentioned. Most sports on ABC are called something like "ESPN on ABC."

My oldest daughter graduated from IU with a Secondary Education degree. She graduated with honors and spent 3 years trying to find a teaching job in Indiana. Many of her fellow education degree graduates still don't have teaching jobs. As schools downsize and cut budgets, less teaching jobs are available. I'm not sure I see why we feel the need to bring more teachers to Indiana.

One can't help but realize the fact that the comment from RKW is neglecting the inevitability of 21st century growth in small cities like Indianapolis. This is one piece of a giant puzzle that central Indiana cannot avoid. Trying to "prep" the public for an onslaught of public relations via Pittman's team via a post on an article discussing the future of Zionsville seems a bit childish... If you are so against the idea, spend time with your locally elected officials, find a following and make your voice heard in public circles where your opinion might actually matter.

Goodness......
I was one of the people who worked with the consultant. She did a fine job and was professional at all times. The nomination was successful and she was a joy to work with. I have recommended her to others.
I asked Cory to remove your first comment because it seemed to be personal.
If you have any questions about the nomination feel free to contact me at webmaster@emersonheights.org
