The Original Indianapolis Indiana | Mile Square Downtown

[@RosaLopez-zw2ff]

My son and his family live in Indianapolis. I try to visit one time a year on my vacation and enjoy my visit every time. Thank you!

[@dennisdaniels2992]

Jason Compton, I hope you exploring downtown Indianapolis with your brother Chris!

[@andrewquackenbush229]

I live 40 min south of Indy. I grew up visiting the very streets you just toured and still enjoy downtown. This video popped up out of nowhere and really hit home. Thank you for the content. I love Indianapolis!

[@gregory46236]

I grew up in Hammond Indiana. I first moved to Indy in 1988 and left in 90. Moved back in 2000. The changes were amazing. Absolutely love Indianapolis

[@deannawitt9376]

I'm from Indianapolis and live in Greenwood. I'm a RN and it's a good area to raise a family although downtown Indy isn't much now.

[@mikehunt368]

just wanted to say thanks for these videos.. even though it’s probably not the most popular video series… but as someone who was born in indianapolis (irvington) and moved out to the greenfield area when i was 3. never got the chance to get to know people that had this knowledge. it’s nice to finally get it

[@LivingInIndianapolis]

Thanks for that!

[@janbond8460]

This was very, very interesting. Thank you.

[@trinrage]

Why am I watching this and I live here lol

[@right-hipent6060]

Love what you're doing bro!!!!

[@Greg-dz8dw]

Thank you for the videos. I recommend visiting Garfield Park and doing a video. Nice old homes surrounding a beautiful park. Close to downtown. The park is wonderful, especially in the summer with the Saturday farmers market and its event schedule with events like Jazzfest and Irishfest. It’s a neighborhood that is starting to be discovered. Thanks again!

[@bobfitzpatrick8952]

What a great video of Mass Avenue. I still miss the old Abbey coffeehouse, though.

[@janetkay6175]

Indianapolis is stunning. I wish I could move back. Comptons, I visited Bottleworks Hotel in Dec 2021. Maybe devote part of a video to that area of long ago and present day. Meridian-Kessler is still a favorite area of Indianapolis.

[@janpetsch620]

Interesting reading where apparently there were negative comments. I'm like whatever. I have worked in Indy for years. I guess I would be considered a negative person because I would never consider living in the city limits. I live up in Lebanon and I love it. I have lived in other areas BUT I still love Indy for it's opportunities. Some of us just are not urbanites lol. Thus said, please explore further into central Indiana. For example these days southern Boone County, the Whitestown/Zionsville area is essentially a suburb of Indy. Good work thanks.

[@BrutallyLauren]

Glad I found your channel.. I moved to Greenfield a few years ago so I like seeing updates of Indy (even though I'm not far away lol)

Indy and it's suburbs are a great place to live. It's hilarious how the misery crowd always has to jump in and spread just that.

[@Hidden-comment164]

Exactly, all the people talking crap do not live within the city limits…

[@pattym6470]

I live in LA, and I'm really interested on moving up to Indiana, I've been looking for very clear and informative videos about pros, contras, culture, anything! that can help me make my decision and prepare for it. You honestly heard my mind, great info!, very clear, very important details, talking about the infrastructure to restaurants areas. Also, great takes and pictures all around the state. WOW I really appreciate you have this channel. THANK YOU!!!!

[@LivingInIndianapolis]

Glad it has helped!

If you move to downtown indy only get a condo with indoor parking (break in problems outside) if you want a cheaper small house with garage and are a hipster Fountain Square is older area with restaurants and Broard Ripple area has many bars and night clubs. If you don't want crime and desire a descent house and yard then move to the outskirts of i465 loop to greenwood on south side, greenfield on east side, Brownsburg on west side, or fishers, Westfield, Noblesville on north side. Stay out of downtown at night if you can and before you leave LA you must leave all of your liberal ideas there

[@christiannavarra_]

you bring whatever political beliefs you have. Indiana is a republican state, but indianapolis is a democratic city. whatever you believe, i hope you come to indianapolis and find your home!

[@tiaraanicole2621]

Hun stay in LA

[@carlapierle8623]

@@i-fart-n-elevators4610 Yes please. The Democratic Mayor in Indy has destroyed what was once a great city. The homicides are off the charts. And now it's spreading out to the suburbs.

Gainbridge Fieldhouse is inside Miles Square. The Fieldhouse is just north of South Street on Pennsylvania.

I’m from Indy and I love this video however be careful on the east side of downtown( just outside of it) there are many gangs there

[@EvynIngleVEVO]

No ones scared of them unless the person knows they did anything. The gangs in Indy here are like you have to do something to be you know

[@janpetsch620]

Yes violent crime has become a big issue in Indy and especially on the east side.

Jason Compton, what can you learn about Downtown Indianapolis?

[@jamiesprong_and_AJ]

Are you related to Tiffany (TJ) Compton? Been watching your channel, and had to ask. She was a friend of mine growing up.

Hi! I don't think so.

You are clearly not financially stable to do much in the city because there are a lot of great places to eat & to do in the city

[@scottyevans5206]

See I work in indy and rake in money all day and then spend it in my town where I live I'm not gonna buy a 100 dollar steak when I have to walk past homeless people and worry about all the shootings but yeah your right I'm poor I own 12 power washing trucks but cant afford the best of indy 😥

[@richarddobson3138]

@@scottyevans5206 ..Indy has one of the best downtown's around..Its the 2nd fastest growing metro in the midwest..While the Crime Rate in Marion County is high, it's not as high as many nearby cities..Most of that crime is not in the downtown area but in the nearby ghetto donut blighted residential areas that extends about 2 miles from downtown for a mile or two. However the perimeter metro counties crime rates are all extremely low with places such as Fishers, Noblesville, Carmel, Zionsville and Westfield frequently at the very top of the best places to live in Americs in multiple publications..Its funny that in your first comment above you said you used to work in Indy and in your second comment you said you work in Indy..You completely destroyed your own credibility in just two statements..🤣

Until they start actually punishing criminals Indianapolis will keep spiraling downwards . And the homeless is out of control . I feel bad for the businesses that have to put up with it .

Indianapolis has really gone downhill in the last 3-4 years. Crime is especially bad and the prosecutor doesn't want to keep people in jail or prosecute criminals.

[@Hidden-comment164]

Lol you only believe what fox 59 news tells you … Indianapolis is a rising city & becoming a popular city for hosting events. It’s only getting better. Crime isn’t an issue within the city it’s the outer suburbs that has the crime

That’s because Indy is an up & coming city. We are expanding a lot. Why do you think a lot of vendors want to host events in the city. 1. It’s very clean. 2 it’s walkable distance to many places within the city. 3. It’s a good city. .. that’s why the college football Championship was just hosted here & the NBA 2024 All star weekend will be Indy
