Recommended local spots
Not a store but a neighborhood to stop and take a refreshing walk, especially if you like architecture and history. This was the first suburb in Indianapolis and has homes built in the late 1800's/early 1900's. You won't be disappointed when you see the esplanades (grassy space between north/south bound lanes), multiple fountains (active May-October), and statues/urns.
First full weekend in June has a Flea Market - 80 acres of food, drink and bargains.
Last full weekend of June on odd years hosts a home and garden tour.
Just google the name and you'll get a glimpse of what you'll see.
