As a downtown resident, it’s been really hard to get there for the last year. All the routes through fountain square were closed. The interstate access to south bound I65 at Washington st is cut off. The alternative route to Garfield Park is now jammed with cars try to get to southbound I65 along East St. Now the Raymond St ramps are being closed one by one. I’m amazed they lasted this long.
Agreed. As someone who loves the Fountain Square and Garfield Park areas, I try to visit and patronize local businesses whenever possible, but getting there has been next to impossible with the uncoordinated and poorly planned combination of construction projects. It really is shameful, almost like they are trying to kill the near-southside. I have eaten at this establishment multiple times and think it is exceptional. I recognize their challenges have been more than construction-related, but losing access to customers from the north certainly didn’t help.
it’s a hassle to get downtown from the southside at the moment. Leaving Madison in its current state seems like a mistake at the same time I-65 is also heavily restricted.
Definitely sad news. This place offered upbeat, positive vibes alongside exceptional quality of approachable classics. As a fountain square resident, it has been quite difficult getting to garfield park. This has affected how often I would go to this restaurant, to the park, to farmers market, helm coffee, etc. The construction has been a major barrier for all of my friends/neighbors in FS to even patronize restaurants in our own neighborhood. The last couple of months, I have been more purposeful in my visiting these establishments but little too late. I really think city of indianapolis has screwed the roost here for many business owners. Magdalena had especially raw deal, which absolutely infuriates me. The closures have negatively impacted not just the owners’ livelihoods but also the communities in which they are located. Sad news.
What jacked up ways are you all taking to Garfield Park? This closure is more about competition than any negative impact from road construction.
Driving around for 30 minutes before hitting “Post Comment” would have been very illuminating.
I think it’s more about the food, which was underwhelming the few times I went
Leave downtown and take Virginia south down Shelby to Troy. Take Troy over to Madison, then take Madison back to the Fieldhouse.
That’s just the local fun and doesn’t take into account INDOT making yet another set of updates to downtown interstates that don’t need to be there.
Joe, you may want to invest in a map. That is a ridiculous route to take the Garfield park, including where this place was, and not expect a headache.
I’d have to agree with Michael. The food was underwhelming, and certainly not reflective of the pricing. Vehicular access wasn’t a significant or even contributing factor here.
And now just for Sh..ts and giggles, try to navigate 86th St. Itis unbelievable in Nora.
You should have tried navigating the East Side over the last 4 years. Between the Big Dig, the New York/Michigan reconfiguration, and the Blue Line construction, it’s been a mess. These are all projects that need done, including Fountain Square, but the city needs to start having expectations of getting them done in a timely manner. These projects are taking too long and businesses and residents are the ones that suffer from it.
