Show Notes
Broad Ripple, Indianapolis, grapples with its identity, transitioning from a lively village to a late-night hotspot. In the nineties, a workshop suggested changes, including a village manager, increased police presence, and canal greenways. The city planned to remove a parking deck and alter street layouts. Store owners were divided, some fearing lost customers, others favoring a walkable vibe. The aim was to transform Broad Ripple into a daytime cultural hub. Despite efforts, challenges persisted, including crime and neglect. In 2013, developers proposed apartments, and Whole Foods considered a site, but ultimately declined. Broad Ripples struggle between preserving its roots and embracing renewal continues.
