A few years ago, the commercial development within the rahabbed Indianapolis Union Station was said to be faltering. What is its prognosis today?<br> ryarger1@nycap.rr.com |

Faltering is a kind word. <br>After failing to attract the size & kinds of crowds that came in the opening season and having to compete with a brand new downtown shopping mall just two blocks away, the "Festival Marketplace" finally closed shop at least a year ago or more. I honestly don't remember exactly as the place was slowly drying up and fading away. Currently the city is trying to attract bids from a number of sources to revive the building. We have heard of proposals ranging from puttting in an indoor go-kart racing emporium to a casino ( not yet legal in Indiana except on Riverboats ). <br>The good news is that the building has recently received major exterior work on the roof and brick so the interior is at least safe from the elements. <br>I'll post more when I hear more.<br> kenta@ameritech.net |
