Indianapolis Neighborhoods - Stringtown

Bordered by White River to the east, roughly Michigan to the north, Washington Street to the south, and Tibbs to the West is an older neighborhood known as Stringtown. Stringtown is a working class neighborhood that feature streets of various ranges of conditions. Some parts are blighted or abandoned, where some are meticulously maintained. Hopefully as W. Michigan Street sees some new development like that of Michigan and Belmont, the neighborhood will see some as well.

Looking toward the downtown skyline from Vermont Street.


Also on Vermont Street...






A look on the other side of the fence...


The Cargill plant on White River Parkway...


These two local pubs don't appear to be in business...


I wish I had Jesse's grill...


Just south of Michigan Street

These things are fading fast...













This is on the north side of Michigan (which technically places it in Haughville) at its intersection of Belmont; I stopped and had a BBQ sandwich break while I was here...It was good :)

This was taken from my table , the lighting was bad for this time of day for indoor shots or else I would show you more of the inside.
