Indianapolis, Indiana recent comments:

Was the Kroger store in the late 1970s. We shopped their every week. For a family of two, our weekly grocery bill (with lots of extras!) was under $40!

As a frequent customer when I lived in Indy (late 1970s), I can vouch for this place! It was one of our favorite places to eat! 'Glad to see it's still around!

When I lived at the medical center (1975-1979), this was an abandoned housing project. There had been talk of tearing it down, but they couldn't, as Eleanor Roosevelt had dedicated the land to this purpose, as it was the nation's first public housing project.

Housing doctors offices and the Medical Illustrations Dept.

Crowne Plaza Hotel is located in an old platform in large Indiana, USA. hall by prominent structures vòm's sophisticated and brick floor in wishy-washy, and ceiling made of glass throughout.

The house where a 16-year-old Indianapolis girl was tortured to death in what is widely considered the state's most horrific crime was demolished Thursday, more than 43 years after the murder. The house at 3852 E. New York St. had fallen into disrepair over the past few years, becoming a haven for prostitutes and drug activity, 6News' Jack Rinehart reported. It was in the fall of 1965, while Sylvia Likens was staying in the home with Gertrude Baniszewski and her children, that she was beaten, burned, humiliated, locked in a cellar and eventually starved to death at the hands of her caregiver and area teens. Baniszewski and two of her children, Paula Baniszewski and John Baniszewski, and two neighbor youths, Coy Hubbard and Richard Hobbs, were charged and convicted of the crime. Gertrude Baniszewski served 19 years in prison for murder and later died of cancer in 1990. For the neighborhood, Thursday's demolition partly put to rest ghosts of decades past. "It's got a bad aura to it," said Mark Gray, who was taking pictures of the site. "After what happened in the house, it's just good to see it come down." The only remaining link to Likens' murder in the neighborhood is now a memorial at nearby Willard Park, unveiled in 2001, which honors victimized children. Lt. Tom Rodgers, now retired from the then-Indianapolis Police Department, was among several police officers who organized the effort. He grew up in the area and remembers Likens in happier times. "I remember her as a very young, vivacious, playful young lady, intelligent," he said as he watched the house being torn down. "She could have contributed much to society." A local church has bought the land and plans to put a parking lot where the house once stood.

The same goes for probably most of these listed "neighborhoods". "Emerson Heights" is another one; you could ask the people who live there and most of them have probably never even heard of such a place.

"Grace Tuxedo Park" is one of those areas that's really not a neighborhood in itself. The apparently arbitrarily defined geographic boundaries really contain parts of the edges of a number of other neighborhoods.

I grew up on Parker Ave., and this area has always been lower "working class", at best, and it has definitely gone downhill. The number of burned out and abandoned houses around here is stunning. But hey - low property values means it's cheap to live here, hehe. I moved back to the area recently, and we'll see what happens. Even a bunch of decent people living in an area can't necessarily make it a good place to live - even a minority of trashy, selfish, lazy, and careless people - let alone the number of outright criminals around here - can make an area a bad place to live. Just look around at the amount of trash that just lays around in people's front yards. It's disgusting. All you can do is keep your own place decent. Even that can be scary, though - it's like you wouldn't want your house to look TOO nice from the outside - it'll attract the theives. Sad but true. One thing this place could for sure use is a few more street lights. I think there's ONE street light on Dearborn all the way from 10th to Michigan. ONE. But the city doesn't care - I guess this area is just pretty much written off as a lost cause. BTW - the "Hamiliton Avenue Massacre" was not technically in this neighborhood - Hamilton is about a mile the other side of Rural. Same neighborhood, really, but outside the stated boundaries.

Replaced with a CVS

May the minds of those who tortured her be forever tortured themselves for the wrong that they did to that poor girl.

I LOVE THIS PLACE!!!!

My name is Robyn Deckard. My Daddy is Raymond Askren. I have never commented on any of the Askren pages but I'll give it a try. I have many wonderful memories in this old homestead. I was born in Indlps. but when I was 2 years old(1960) my Dad became a Christian and surrendered to be a Pastor. My Dad, Mom, and my new baby Sister packed up and moved to Springfield Mo.so that my Dad could attend Baptist Bible College. I only had the privilege of going to my Grandma Askren's house about 2 times a year up until I got married in 1975. My memories are priceless when we were able to visit. I was able to spend time with my Grandma as well as with my Uncles,Aunts and numerous cousins. We had such great times when we were kids. Two of my Aunt's and Uncle's lived very close to my Grandma so we would have cook outs at my Aunt and Uncle's house. I'm tellin' ya'll us Askren's are absolutely awesome cooks! I remember going over to Uncle Floyd and Aunt Eva's house and playing pool in the basement. They have such a neat house! They also had a juke box in the basement too, it was so cool. I miss those times so very badly, but what tremendous memories God has blessed me with. God has also blessed me with the best of the Askren bunch. Unfortunately, I have not been able to see my cousins in years. Some of them still live in Indlps. and some of them have moved away. I still live in Springfield, Mo. I have been married to my wonderful Husband for 33 years. We have 4 children and 9 Grandchildren. The last time I saw Grandma's house only part of it still remained. I just got a big sinking feeling to see what had happened to a once extremely vibrant home. Even though the house may someday go away, my memories of my cousins playing or going down to the barn to look at the horses, or my precious Grandma and I sitting at her kitchen table playing Parcheesi, those happy memories will always be with me and I am so extremely fortunate to be called an Askren. How richly our Great God has blessed me and my family.
