Sherman and Brookville

On the Southeast side, two blocks of away from Christian Park...


I walked several hundred feet north to take some shots of the nearby PRR bridge...

Creeping In II

On 9th Street, about a block west of Sherman Dr.

Along Raymond Street

This is a stretch of Raymond Street near Sherman Drive, just north of Beech Grove...

Sherman sunset...

For the vintage sign fans out there...Also at the corner of Sherman and Raymond Street.

Edwards has an americana (mmm...corndogs) menu similar to the Mug N Bun in Speedway.

Looking east on Raymond Street.


Spying from the Raymond Street Bridge a few blocks east of Sherman Dr.

Looking at the nearby St. Francis Hospital in Beech Grove...

Indianapolis Intersections: Sherman Drive and Pleasant Run Pkwy

One could maintain a blog documenting the Pleasant Run Trail alone. There's many cool places and many unpleasant places as well, but it is always interesting. This section is the stretch that crosses Sherman Drive on the east side.

Indianapolis Neighborhoods - Sherman Drive and Brookside Pt. 1

Technically, some of these shots from this multi-part post are from the Brightwood-Martindale neighborhood as well, but I never crossed Massachusetts Ave into the actual neighborhood. The route I took was mainly an industrial one along old rail road tracks and bridges. I chose this route because that's what I wanted to shoot originally, but came back with more than I originally planned.

Sherman Dr. and Southeastern Ave.

Close up.

I would like to thank this establishment for providing me a place to park in this otherwise pedestrian unfriendly area. Don't know quite what the sign says, but the sign graphic and 'Bikini Shows' says enough, I guess.

This bridge is also on Sherman Drive, about half a mile south of Washington Street. Unlike the the other bridge, it doesn't have it's constructed year stamped on it, but it looks to be in it's accelerated years.

Ouch!

The concrete is showing it's age as well.

Not a very pretty site, but it still has a lot of charm.

I guess that's one way of immortalizing yourself.

Once you come out on the other side of the bridge, you are greeted with this.

Another side of the same building.

On the other side of the bridge; this is an interesting looking building.

Why hello furry little visitor; well OK, I was the visitor.

There are not many houses on this area of Sherman, but the ones that are there, look similar to this.

At a strip mall at E. Washington Street and Sherman Dr. Looks like it may have been an old theatre, possibly of the XXX persuasion, but who knows?

10th and Sherman. I love the mural, it complements the underpass well.

More coming soon...
