Indianapolis Neighborhoods : South Village

The neighborhood of South Village is located just south of the South Meridian Neighborhood. The neighborhood is a working class neighborhood similar to South Meridian, but not quite as old...



The always inviting Pleasant Run flows through the neighborhood. Although there is only one in the shot, I believe I spotted four shopping carts half buried under the mud...


One of the most distinct features of this neighborhood is that the street names are inscribed on their sidewalks...


That and the large selection of mature trees...


Several cemeteries as well...Many of my ancestors are buried here...

Here's how the house are situated around the neighborhood...

Some of the streets here have some significant hills, by Indianapolis terrain standards.

Some random things that caught my attention...

Why eat lunch when you can drink it?

Ha Ha!

The north most part of the neighborhood, on the other side of the underpass is the S. Meridian Neighborhood. Meridian Street, through South Village uses a more primitive form of traffic control that Fall Creek Pkwy does on the Northeast side...

On Meridian Street

Looking North toward the Wholesale District...


I was not alone...

Indianapolis Intersections - Meridian Street and Troy Avenue

The intersection of Meridian and Troy is on the city's south side; just a few miles south of downtown.

Careful folks, he's a weepy drunk.

Indianapolis Intersections - Meridian and Maryland Steets

In the heart of the Wholesale district, Washington and Maryland Streets looks really cool at night.

I will be out of town for the holiday week, so posting will be slow or stopped until I return on Friday 12/26. Happy Holidays!
