As a fellow downtown resident with a family of four, this story is long overdue. Very well written and can see self in their shoes trying to explain these very issues to coworkers from suburbs who pain an apocalyptic view of our city. The development around mile square to “close gap” of surrounding downtown neighborhoods and to help expand downtown indianapolis has been unparalleled in recent years (think bottleworks, Monon, stutz, eleven park, elevator hill, elanco, etc). When I moved downtown a decade ago, downtown was only mile square, and just barron otherwise. I remember thinking “when med school is over we are moving out of this city.” The choice was between a downtown which had a solid mile square but lacked identity versus homogenous chain driven suburbs.
I am happy to say that we did not leave and are so thankful for the downtown that we now live and have started a family here to grow. With that being said, opportunities for growth are much needed, especially in the mile square neighborhood-largely due to circle center mall (unfortunate as now that tax base exists that would love to shop here, it is not an option for downtown residents) which I believe is factor in why so many folks have perception of downtown indy being unsafe, going in wrong direction. What people do not see is the development in so many other areas of downtown that has been absolutely transformational for indy to lose some of the “boring” connotations. Thank you for this article!
