Things to do
Bars, murals, trails and the bus downtown, all a few minutes from the front door.
Flower Alley
Broad Ripple's open air gallery: garage doors bloom with giant painted flowers by muralist Jules Muck and other local artists.
- Cross Guilford Ave onto Paxton Place, directly across the street.
- Walk west half a block to the alley.
- Turn left or right: the murals run both ways. Please enjoy them from the alley and keep driveways clear.
Be awesome. Be bold.
Be persistent. Be kind.
