One of my favorite parts of living in a place with some history is finding buildings that hug street corners , especially ones that are not on major thoroughfares. This first scene is not far outside of downtown, yet it almost seems rural:
Believe it or not, a bus comes to this corner, as you can kinda see by the back of the sign on the pole. I saw a bus stop here, so I definitely believe it.
If you’re wondering, the other two corners are empty lots.
I hope to feature more of Indy’s somewhat forgotten corners in the future.
I wish these buildings were still in use instead of crappy strip malls.
Did you go check out the aqueduct while you were in the area?!
Interestingly, I was not too far from this area yesterday, snapping pictures of things for future posts. I came across another building like this one at 26th and Paris. It doesn’t quite hug the curb, but it was a cool little retail building right in the middle of a residential area. There was a store open in at least one of the spaces.
Unfortunately, I just drove past and didn’t take any pictures. Maybe you can get up there at some point for a future post!
Oh, and there was another pair of completely abandoned retail buildings at 28th and Capitol. Those two DO hug the curb.
Thanks for the tips Corr! One of the benefits from working with aerial photography for my job is that I can usually spot these little known places. But I was not aware of the one at 26th and Paris.
