So the Mayor adds another non value added layer to having a vehicle towed? Whereby the City Government RECIEVES AN ILLEGAL KICKBACK FROM A LGOISTICS COMPANY THAT SUBS THE WORK TO LOCAL TOW COMPANIES? What is the service the City performs for receiving the "tribute"? This is RICO!!!!! What a corrupt and unnecessary layer. What a dirtbag Mayor and his cronies.

Owner occupied housing. Clear enough?

So people think I am paranoid. It's from experience in dealing with puds requested by developers who make major donations themselves to representatives, have nice fund raisers for those running for office and hide through pac's. then there are the public relation firms. You will note some pr comments below. You there Clyde Lee? My opinion. Commercial along 421, great. Multifamily housing, terrible idea that will change the town. Senior condos or zero lot line homes west, great. I suggest keeping all entries to commercial areas at 421. All entries to owner occupied on sycamore. Will keep the traffic on sycamore down some. Two other things. You can't trust what will be there in 10 years. Steve builds quality stuff, but areas change over time. Look at the changes at the wall mart center at 86th and 421 over the last 10 years. Look at the apartments and neighborhoods behind St Vincent's. Raintree properties WILL decrease in value if commercial and multifamily goes in near. It has already been happening around the bridges area. The houses that have been sold recently are way below market. Several deals not closed due to the Illinois construction and the whole unsurety of the bridges. It's pretty simple, Zionsville will approve the whole thing because the city council has been groomed over a LONG period of time for this. I might even suggest some are in their position as a result of this.

Esta, do you have a dog in this fight? You seem to really want to knock anyone against this project. No, I didn't move to Indiana for the architecture. I moved here for that red barn in the field. The horses and fields of corn. A place that is NOT overdeveloped. There are plenty of nearby places in Indianapolis that could be REDEVELOPED instead.

RKW - OK, we get it, you're paranoid. The question is, are you paranoid enough? Greg - Yes, Pittman(s) is (are) at it again. They are developers, they build things. It's what they do. So when you go to work tomorrow, Greg, you're at it again too. Cliff - Really? You moved to Indiana for its progressive architecture? That's like moving to England for the cuisine. Zionsvillain - The house you moved to was once a field or woods. I'm willing to bet folks were upset when that ground was plowed under and a house was built. But I guess now that you are in, everything should stop? "My house was OK, but the next one is sprawl." SE Guy - Please don't paint us with such a wide brush. Most reasonable Zionsville residents welcome planned, measured development.

Parcha Sweets, located at 2215 Broad Ripple Avenue
New Paradise Cafe is open at 6314 Winthrop Avenue
Bebop Pizza Kitchen is open at 54th and College
Closings
Tee-Pot has closed their location at 6378 College Avenue
Trash To Treasures has closed their shop at the north east corner of 62nd and College Avenue
Cornucopia used to be there.
There's a potential mid-size venue planned for the former Naptown wine bar in Fountain Square (acrossfrom the FS Theater building). They are planning to build a large addition onto the rear. Some people in the neighborhood are opposed to it, including the theater building's owner. As a FS resident, I hope it happens.
Also, there is a Chicago-style pizzeria opening soon in Fletcher Place next to Calvin Fletcher's coffee shop.
KFC is building a new location in front of the Goodwill store on 61st and Keystone and will be open by March 2011
I had a pipe dream that Jakes Roadhouse from Purdue would open an outpost (a la Kilroy's DT) in this location with a 2nd floor rooftop bar overlooking Guilford Ave., and offer Pizza King pizza like they do in West Lafayette, since there is now no Pizza King in Ripple. Definitely a pipe dream.
Da Vinci Gelato at Clay Terrace is closed as well.
