The Places and Architecture of Southport Part 2

Any writeup on Southport without acknowledging Long's Bakery would be blasphemous.

Stock footage of their neon sign.

The old school. I've been told that they were apartments at one time, after some renovation, they would make excellent apartments or even mixed use.

This truck is parked behind the school.

Dance Master Studio. They have recently expanded, including another location a few blocks to the west.

Yollie's Asian Grocery; it has a primarily Filipino focus, including video rentals.

Southport Putt-Putt. Open every summer season.

Northeast on Main Street toward Derbyshire.

Many of the houses and buildings in this neighborhood have be renovated, but there are clues to let you know how old this town really is.

The places and architecture of Southport Part 1

On the far South side, it is one of the four independent cities within Indianapolis, called Southport. Due to it's self management, it has retained much of it's historical value and distinctivness during the suburban sprawl of Indianapolis over the years. There are many things of interest here, so this will be a multi-part post.

This was built the year before last, still don't know what its used for.

Early Voting in Southport

The Southport town hall has been a satellite voting site for early voters for the election that is to take place Tuesday. The voter turnout for early voting has been high, and has brought a lot of activity to the Soutport area that is rarely seen. I find this pretty interesting because for the first time in a while, when I hear people talking about voting or poll results, it's not a reference to American Idol.

The streets of Southport never sees this kind traffic on a Sunday morning.

The line goes on for a few blocks

It was a little cool this morning, but he had to have been hot.
