I always tell people if you need a black or black and white outfit shop here first. The shop is loaded with gorgeous black and white clothing, many handbags, hats, accessories, racing decor and a limited amount of home decor. Sizes range from X-Small to 3X and there is a dressing room for trying on clothing. Several drivers have shopped here and signed the drivers/celebrities wall. She has several racing items in the front half of the store. Check it out if you're a collector. You never know what you'll find. We've been lucky and found several cool collectibles here. Stop in to browse and feel free to have a seat and visit for a few minutes. She's closed Sunday through Tuesday and open Wednesday through Saturday.

I'd seen the Speedway Artist Collective multiple times as I pass 16th and Lynhurst just about every time I make my way to US 36 (Rockville Road). The Speedway Artist Collective is a permanent program coming out of the Mars Hill Arts Center. MHAC has the mission of encouraging, supporting, and promoting local artists by giving them a place to sell their works. The founders of MHAC are from the Speedway area and have been committed to really promoting Indy's west side. Located in the end spot of a small strip center, Speedway Artist Collective is open limited hours. It's a non-profit shop featuring art from local artists. Speedway is obviously a racing-centered community, however, you can find much more here than racing themed items. The art has a diverse price range and you can easily find affordable art that also supports local artists. There are also classes here and I kind of fell in love with the "Free Little Art Gallery" out front (think "free library" but with art!). I might be exaggerating a bit to go 5-stars here, however, I don't think I am. I love the art work. I love the vibe. I love the community. I love the fact that you can introduce yourself to local artists and snag some art for the home. The sidewalks have curb cuts here. there's street parking alongside the building. You can enter through a single glass door that's level to the ground. Yes, there's a lot inside, however, I found it immensely workable and worth the effort. Given the limited hours, I'd be sure to check that they're open (hours may vary with special events). However, once I was finally able to stop in I fell in love with this little gem in Speedway.

I have sadly noticed this is a habit with Ross locations from Peoria to Fort Wayne. I had barely started looking then noticed the line reaching near the middle of the store and walked out. Was expecting to find some good deals, had just had a chat earlier in the day about the big shoe sizes readily available here, good deals on athletic wear, and random quality selection of home goods. Thankfully I wandered next door to Burlington and had only a short minute wait in the checkout line.

Royal Beauty carries so many things. All the obvious you'd expect from wigs, jewlery, clothing,…read moremakeup, plus so much more. The store is well stocked, organized (once you know the layout), and prices are well marked on all, if not most, items. Most isleways are comfortably wide with enough room to easily pass other customers. For those of you who love Halloween or other costume events, stop in here for the plain, white styrofoam heads for under $4. Most everything you need on-site to decorate the styrofoam head. The service is semi-sketchy but most times I just walk up directly to ask for what I need if I can't put my finger on immediately. I'm not sure if this is a language barrier or they spend most time stocking the many shelves. Regardless, I'm usually in and out of here in 10 minutes. Worth a drive to check out if you're on the westside. They've saved my butt on several costume items more than once.

I had no idea they were located on the west side in the central state "village" we were lucky and got a tour from the director and learned all about the mission, and got to see some different secret projects they are working on. I was impressed by how well they pay their people For there work in all of the hand stitching of each product, their price points make a lot more sense now. You can bring your company there for a day of volunteering to help them prep material so it can be made into different products. Also saw what is left of the Hoosier dome, it takes up such a small corner of the building it's crazy to think how it's been made into so many different products. Love the work pup does, and was lucky to be able to purchase some sweet Indy stickers! One day I'll have an actual pup product

Wow. Just wow. I had heard of PUP and thought they were similar to USI because I know them for…read moretheir 317 tees and Indianapolis apparel, but they are so much more than that. PUP is focused on turning trash into treasure. They collect refuse from the city and repurpose it into something brand new. They're responsible for the "pup seats" at bus stations around town that are Bush Stadium baseball seats. Way cool! What got me was that they salvaged 13 ACRES of material from the RCA Dome roof...and now they use it to make wallets and messenger bags! SO COOL. They also have old signage from the 2012 Super Bowl that Indy hosted and use it in the bags, as well. PUP gathers volunteers to scrounge around the junkyard every month. For example, they use old seat belts as straps for bags...how creative and smart! PUP has a great mission and is doing really cool things in the city - check 'em out! The studio in Fountain Square is a bit hard to find in the Murphy Arts Building but it's a cool studio vibe. My only complaint is that I wish their products weren't so expensive - i had my eye on a duffel bag but it was $150+ dollars!

They're also conveniently located next-door to Burlington, and Ross so whatever you're looking for you can probably find it between one of these three spots.

Who writes a Yelp review about Kohls? I guess I will, because I feel the current 2-star Yelp…read moreresults that show up on Google are outdated and misleading, and I hope this saves someone a trip. I will admit I haven't been in this Speedway store for at least 4 years, because the last time I visited, it was so sad and disorganized with clothes on the floor and lines wrapped around the store. I've been going out of my way to the Brownsburg store instead. Well, no need to anymore. Corporate has been in and cleaned this location up, so it's got a better, brighter shoppable layout that makes way more sense. Customer service is right up front which is nice- no more treks to the back of the store for returns. We were also greeted upon entering, which I don't think I've ever been at this location. My son needed a formal outfit and we were able to find exactly what we needed at a very fair price. The dressing room was clean and well-lit. You bet I'll be back with my Kohl's cash!

I stopped by Foundry 317 during a recent jaunt through Broad Ripple during unseasonably warm temps…read more I parked my car and just enjoyed wheeling around the area for a bit. Foundry 317 is along the canal right on Westfield Boulevard. Foundry 317 focuses on home decor and furniture. I clearly arrived right at the tail-end of the holiday season and a good number of the items either had a holiday theme or fit within the holiday season. Items included antiques, one-of-a-kind furniture pieces, festive accents, candles, and other overall housing items. Foundry 317 has a parking lot, though I was actually wheeling there. There's a small ramp up to the sidewalk if you approach it from the right (facing Foundry 317). The doorway is pretty workable and I found the interior to be surprisingly accessible (though I will admit I was taking extra caution given some of the prices!). As I was wheeling, I knew it was pretty unlikely I'd actually buy anything on this visit as it would have been difficult to carry back to my car. However, I definitely saw some items I loved and can easily see myself returning in the near future. The employee I encountered was friendly, the environment was warm and inviting, and I really loved some of the smaller items. I'm a candle freak and definitely would like to return for those. I've always found this section of Westfield Blvd. a little hit-and-miss. The sidewalk is kind of cracked and it's somewhat uneven, however, there's much to love here and I loved the efforts toward accessibility. This is definitely a little gem. I'd seen it before, however, I've never been by when they were open. I finally got the chance to visit, and I'm definitely impressed. I'll be back.

Many times they have helped add to a collection by offering suggestions and remembering us when we came in. Though we don't always buy something we always learn something. Their knowledge and helpfulness is fantastic. I appreciate all the unique serving pieces and kitchen things available. My husband loves the record collection. Give this place a try...
