T-Mobile has inked a five-year lease
for a 2,200-square-foot space at the northwest corner of Washington and Meridian streets. The store will be a corporate-owned
"playground" store, a new concept designed by some of the same people who worked on Apple's distinctive stores,
said Midland Atlantic broker Nick Wright, who represented the landlord in the
deal. The shop will feature several tables with laptops, an "answers" desk and cushy chairs. The prime space at 2 N. Meridian
St. has been without a full-time tenant since Flagstar Bank moved out in February 2008. Several restaurants including McAlister’s
and McDonald’s and athletic retailer Foot Locker had considered the first floor of the building, which is owned by a group
that includes local businessman John Goodman. T-Mobile, a subsidiary of Deutsche Telekom, hopes to open the store this summer.

didn't the McD's in the Hyatt go out?
Diversity of service indicates a healthy city and the truth is, downtown Indy is long on restaurants but comes up short in many commercial areas. This T-Mobile shop helps tip those scales a bit and I'd say that's a positive.
Just not a lot of variety in the pricing of the dining options. King David dogs was a nice new addition though thats different.
Also, there is a Quiznos on the circle about a block and half away, Hank.
All of those places are sit-down restaurants with most of their sandwiches and entrees for under $10. And that's just what I could think of just off the top of my head.
Ralph's is on New York & Davidson. Not many people are going to walk there from the Mile Square. There's a lot of tree branches and shrubs and things that obstruct the sidewalk since most property owners don't take on this responsibility and the City doesn't enforce its ordinance that would require such obligation. But fret not! There's plenty of convenient parking on and off street, so why worry about the walk?
I believe 40 W Maryland is the address for the mall space. So that restaurant could be anywhere in the mall.
