The Crumbling Vacated Merrill Street

I visited Indianapolis and the family for the holiday season and was supposed to go back to NYC on Sunday. That was until a major blizzard pummelled the east coast; as a result I am still here and that extended time can mean only one thing: Indianapolis Photos! This collection focuses on the area of Pennsylvania and the now vacated Merrill street, near the Lilly complex.

Used to be a tunnel, but most of that has been ripped out other than the rail overpass. Used to be a prominent hangout for homeless people and Lilly employees that smoked until all this was done. The dozens of homless people moved to another similar underpass about five blocks away. Taken on the near south side of Indianapolis in an area known as Pogue's Run.

Winter Time Flashback

This is the corner of Pennsylvania and Ohio Streets. I took this back in January of this year; the cold is not too far away...

Indianapolis Architecture - Chase Tower

This 48 story, 830 foot (to the top of the transmission mast) was completed in 1990 and is currently the tallest building in both Indianapolis and the entire state of Indiana. Up until its purchase a few years ago, it was known as the Bank One Tower.
